Food recs for a Daegu trip in two months?
try gomtang at a 24hr spot near Seomun market, cheap and open early when most places arent
Agree, though the good spots sell out by 9am.
worth pairing that with a late-night stop at a pojangmacha in Dongseongno if you're out past midnight
the anjippang (stuffed bread) at a bakery near Banwoldang station is worth a detour, get there before noon

🏡 Quiet Residential Palgongsan
Palgongsan area at the city's northern edge is a serene escape with mountain trails and temples. It suits hikers, nature lovers, and those seeking tranquility. Accommodations include cozy minbak (guesthouses) and temple stays, typically costing 50,000-100,000 KRW. Public transit is limited, so a car or taxi is recommended.

This is a really solid breakdown of Daegu. I've lived here a few years and one thing I'd add about the Seomun Market area is that the night market on weekends is great but the real move is to hit the tteokbokki alley just north of the main gate around 6pm on a weekday. It's mostly locals and the prices are about 30% cheaper than the stalls right inside the market. Also if you stay near there, the old alleys between Seomun and the modern downtown have some quiet guesthouses tucked away that are way cheaper than the stuff right on Dongseongno.
suseong-gu lakeside is nice but honestly i think the daegu marriott is way overpriced for what it is. instead check out the little pensions on the east side of the lake, they're cheaper and some have rooftop spots where u can see the fountain shows for free. also if ur there on a weekend the lakeside walking path gets packed with families so go early morning or late evening for the best vibe
downtown dongseongno is spot on for first-timers but one thing the guide missed is that the alleys off the main street have way better food than the main drag itself. specifically the area behind the daegu department store has a bunch of old-school kalguksu places that are cheap and legit. also the banwoldang station area gets super loud at night so if ur a light sleeper bring earplugs
duryu park is underrated for a morning jog before e-world opens, barely anyone there
