Hi there — do you know if there are luggage lockers at the Daegu train station? Will be stopping in Daegu for a day trip between Busan and Seoul, but will have all our stuff with us.

Hi there, Good writing about going to Dondaegu. Here is more tips for you. If you are planing to visit Korea and travel to out of cities like Dondaegu, I strongly recommend to purchase ‘Korail pass’. As you already know, there are some ways to go to the Dongdaegu. But KTX is the fastest and convenient way. KTX is high fast train connected to out of city places like Dongdaegu, Busan, Singyeongju etc. So for traveling to out of city, ‘Korail pass’ will be so reasonable. If you are interested in this pass, please visit this homepage, ‘http://www.letskorail.com/ebizbf/EbizBfKrPassAbout.do’ and you can get more information and reservation too. You need your passport and credit card for booking and you can check your type of pass by yourself. Thanks.

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this page. I will be moving to Daegu with my daughter this summer. I vacationed in Korea two summers ago, but never made it to Daegu. Looking forward to navigating my way around with this helpful information

love the information here and hope to read more. It’s very helpful. I’ll be moving to Daegu to teach English so this would come in handy.

@Jean: BTW– I just thought of some additional travel things. The public transportation in Korea is pretty good all the way around and it is easy and comfortable getting around Korea. Korail offers tourist K-passes which covers unlimited KTX travel for a set price which is actually good if you plan to zip around to a lot of places. Also, my tip for first timers– If some of your sightseeing sights or hotels websites have addresses written in Hangul (Korean characters), print them out or have your concierge or a friend write them down for you. Many taxis DONT speak English — unless you’re going to a major site, there’s a possibility they may not know where know where a location is or the english translation (this is normal- & it’s kinda funny to watch the extent they go to find the place, tho you may have to suffer a bit of the additional cost). They DO READ hangul, so presenting them an address in it, will make it easier for both of you. Good Luck!

In reply to Jean. @Jean: My pleasure- Pictures help! I think its frustrating to not be able to see things so that you know how to prepare for them in advance. Yes, you can bring your luggage on the train. But you'll either have to store them above your seat (a size equivalent to luggage storage in a small jet airplane carrier like Delta) or near the door of your car.Space is limited with this option & you will be far from your bags.Wouldn't bring many big bags. Seeing as you're in both places for such a short time, I'd definitely recommend the city bus tours. They give an overall tour to highlights of the city at a very inexpensive cost-- cheaper than a taxi too. I'm reluctant to sell Daegu unless you want to do day trips from it-- i'd probably choose someplace like Busan, where there's more to do. Also, I have a blog on places to see in Seoul but it doesn't include the main shopping spot-- Dongdamneun-- some people love this. Hope you have fun & any further questions, feel free to ask!
