Below is a subway map of Daegu, following that there is a description of what is found at some of the stations and time/distances
So, if you are just moving to Daegu you can see how far you live from the nightlife downtown and or find some new places to explore if you’ve been here a while:
TIMING
- You can figure the time it takes you to get somewhere like this: The time between each stop is about 2 or 2.5 minutes. So, if you are in Banwoldang, the time to get to Daegu Bank on the green line would be about 4 minutes on the actual subway. Remember, though, you have to figure in walking time within the subway which can add an extra 10 or 20 minutes.
A BRIEF OVERVIEW
- Banwoldang (pronounced BAN-UHL-DAHNG) is the heart of Daegu, and the crosspoint of the green line and red line. There is an underground shopping center there and it’s pretty big and therefor easy to get lost. The best places to come up are exits 10 and 13 if you are trying to get to the downtown general area for shopping, clubs, and restaurants.
- HOMEPLUS you can find an excellent array of spices, tortillas, cheeses, and other foreign food that you miss–not everything, of course, but it’s close–at the Nae-dang Homeplus, located on the Green Line. Just go up through exit 1. COSTCO also has lots of foreign food, however, it’s not located on a subway line and can be a bit expensive to take a taxi there. Also, there is a Homeplus located on the green line at Sin-mae (pronounced SHIN-MAY).
- Sinmae and Sawol are also the stops for the many foreigners that live in Sigi-dong.
- At Daegu Station you can get to the main train station and take trains all around Korea.
- Duryu (pronounced DO-ROO) is also an underground shopping mall like Banwoldang and is very large underground. However, you can get to Duryu Park from here where there are sometimes festivals. I recommend getting off at Duryu and asking a taxi driver to take you to Duryu Park by saying DO-ROO KYUNG-WAHN.
- Keimyung University is the stop for a big university in Daegu. If you go to Keimyung University stop, get out and take a taxi to Keimyung North Gate (pronounced in Korean: KAY MYUNG BOOK MOON). Once there, cross the street (away from the gate) and go left up the hill. Around this area you can find Sugar Joe’s a popular bar (check out the roof!) and a variety of very delicious Indian food restaurants, among other things.
