Daejeon accommodation recommended by a professional traveler who has traveled alone for the Nth time
If you go to Daejeon accommodation, definitely!!! Recommended Stay Soje
I was traveling alone and was looking for a pretty + cost-effective accommodation, and I found Stay Soje, which is the accommodation I liked the most among the accommodations I've been to recently! Standby Me TV + clean bed + emotional stand and desk were the best accommodations for me. The bathroom is also clean, so I highly recommend it if you're traveling as a couple or alone!

Breathtaking Views and Fall Colours at Jangtaesan Mountain
Jangtaesan Mountain Recreational Forest is a beautiful forest in Daejeon South Korea and is known for being Korea's largest metasequoia forest.
Getting There - I joined a day tour to Jangtaesan and nearby attractions from Seoul. You can go by KTX or intercity bus too.
You can either choose to stroll or hike depending on your fitness level.
Highlights -
1. Metasequoia forest
You will get very different colours and landscapes depending on which season you go. Personally recommend autumn as you will be able to see a burst of orange, yellow and red.
2. Forest Skyway and Suspension Bridge
It is the best way to admire the stunning beauty of the forest and have a panoramic view.
3. Ecological pond
This pond is a great spot to look at various fish and aquatic plants in the pond.

Daecheongho lake - hidden beauty
#traveldiaries
Located in Cheongju-si, South Korea, Daecheongho Lake offers a peaceful retreat for anyone seeking a quiet weekend picnic. This beautiful lake is most stunning in the fall when the surrounding trees turn vibrant shades of yellow, creating a breathtaking landscape. The tranquil atmosphere, especially during this season, makes it a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature away from crowded tourist spots.
While there is a direct bus line to Daecheongho, the intervals between buses can be quite long, making travel by car a more convenient option for those who prefer flexibility. The lake itself is vast, with several destinations to explore, but I highly recommend visiting Cheonsangui Garden. This area offers one of the most spectacular views of the lake, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable picnic. Whether you're there to relax by the water or take in the beauty of the changing leaves, Daecheongho is a hidden gem that guarantees a refreshing break from city life.
Daisy festival in Daejeon
#autumnseason
Autumn, the season of festivals in Daejeon, South Korea, seems to be the most enjoyed time of year. You can find local people organizing festivals of all sizes, celebrating the season. Flowers are everywhere, especially daisies. There's even a Daisy Festival held in the Yuseong district, where Yurim Park is literally covered in flowers. It's such a beautiful sight, like stepping into a wonderland. If you have the chance, visit Daejeon in autumn to experience the local festivals.
Daejeon by night
#traveldiaries
Located in the central region of South Korea, Daejeon, often called the capital of Science and Technology, comes alive at night with its stunning city lights. The nightlife is vibrant, especially with students from local universities out and about, creating an energetic atmosphere filled with endless events. Popular spots include Gungdong Street, nestled between Chungnam National University and KAIST, where bars, pubs, and coffee shops stay open all night. The Expo Science Park is another highlight, featuring a beer festival during summer weekends—grab a beer and enjoy the water music show. Daejeon Skyroad, a modern pedestrian street with a wide variety of local food and restaurants, is just a 15-minute walk from Daejeon Station. For a quieter vibe, Yurim Park offers a beautiful setting for a peaceful picnic or a relaxing time outdoors.

Gumokafe is a place where you can drink dango and coffee in a quiet and calm atmosphere. 🍡🤎
It feels healing to sit down while listening to the sound of dango being grilled,,🤎
The deliciously grilled dango is even more delicious when dipped in sweet sauce and injeolmi powder.🤎
It was a place where I could stay for a long time in a cozy and quiet atmosphere, so I loved it even more.🤎
✔️ Gumokafe is really small, so I recommend visiting on weekdays rather than weekends.

Café La Valley.
Travel and enjoy a warm cup of coffee while looking at the ice wall in Daejeon!?
There's news that an ice wall café has appeared in Daejeon, and I went there without much expectation, thinking it wouldn't be anything special, but I was surprised by the unexpectedly majestic and overwhelming ice wall.
The ice wall was beautiful, but there were also a lot of plants inside, which made me feel really fresh and pleasant in winter :)
It would be nice to save this place and visit it sometime.

#Emotional Cafe
At first, I got confused about the way to get there and got lost, but if you search for Sutonggolsae Songi on Navi, it's right below the sign!
It's divided into individual rooms, so you can use it privately, and most importantly, each room has an air conditioner, so you can stay cool!🌿
The sandwiches are served in a rattan basket that gives you a picnic feeling :-)
I recommend Sosorim, which has a nice cafe atmosphere and delicious sandwiches 🌿

Jeonmin-dong Hanwoo Gomtang, a famous restaurant in Daejeon that you can only get if you open it
The best boiled pork stew restaurant in Daejeon, Jeonmin-dong Hanwoo Gomtang 👍
The business hours are 10:30-21:00, but it is a place that is always crowded for dinner or lunch, so you must wait.
It is only a simple side dish of kimchi and cubed radish, but the soup is delicious and it is good for drinking! It is a local restaurant that is always crowded because the ingredients such as boiled pork, cabbage, mushrooms, water parsley, and glass noodles are diverse and fresh.

A great place for a couple's date 💗 A romantic cocktail bar that will make you feel intoxicated by the atmosphere 🍸
Address: 2nd floor, 26 Jungang-ro 121beon-gil, Jung-gu, Daejeon
Atmosphere/Facility: This is a cocktail bar that only I know.. If you bring friends, they'll all go crazy 🫶 Foreign pop songs play softly, and under the dim lights, you can light a yellow candle and chat while drinking cocktails 🍹 The tables are spaced out appropriately, so you have privacy ☺️
Key Point: If it's your first time at a cocktail bar, you should definitely try the Hwamong signature menu!! In addition to the signature menu, you should definitely try Faust 💛 The side dishes are not that much for a basic cocktail bar, so I recommend having a hearty dinner before going ✨
Average price per person: The basic cocktail is around 9,000 won, so it's good to set aside at least 20,000 won!
Rating: Every time I bring my friends to drink at the end of the semester, I always go there 🫶 I've been there more than 5 times ㅎㅎ I brought my boyfriend too and he loved it 💗 Five stars ㅎㅎ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Daejeon Bongmyeong-dong popular restaurant, original Taepyeong Sogukbap
Address: 140 Munhwawon-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon
Atmosphere/Facilities: Clean and there's a lot of waiting..! They said there's a wait even on weekdays, but I waited and ate even after dinner. But it leaves quickly ㅎㅎ It's worth the wait for the food. So-gukbap, naejangtang, and yuk sashimi! The price-to-performance ratio is amazing, and the taste is amazing. I want to go again. It doesn't seem like much, but I keep thinking about it.

Daejeon Self BBQ Private The Grill
It's been so cold these days that I'm only looking for indoor dates, but I went to The Grill, a self-barbecue place with Donghaksa Temple as the background, which is great for dates.
A place where you can buy meat, snacks, etc. at the store and grill them at the indoor campsite!
It feels like you're visiting a pension, and the scenery and air are so nice.
You can have a fire in front of the firewood or roast marshmallows.

Daejeon recommended hotel with good room condition Hotel Sky Park
#Ho-kang-seu
For those of you who are planning a trip to Daejeon, I recommend a hotel with good value for money. It's Hotel Sky Park.
It's right next to Daejeon Premium Outlet, so it's great for shopping, restaurants, and accessibility.
Even at night, the neighborhood is quiet, so you can relax leisurely.
The price is reasonable, and since it's a relatively new hotel, the room condition is really good. The rooms are also quite spacious, so it doesn't feel stuffy and is very useful.
The amenities were good, and the beds were good, so I was very satisfied with this hotel.
really lov
really love this place, went here with my family (2kids and 70 yo mother).. everyone looked so happy! just make sure to pay attention to your child and I don’t recommend to bring your child to hiking the mountain since the trails are pretty dangerous (I brought them and they were very satisfied to conquer the world! haha)
