You can really appreciate the beauty of Daegu from the 83Tower Observatory. The colorful light tunnel will make you feel as if you're floating in space, and it's a favorite among children and adults alike.

Palgonsan Natural Park is part of a beautiful mountain with magnificent granite formations, interwoven rock formations, thick forests, and beautiful valleys.

You can visit Palgonsan Natural Park just about any time of the year – see blooming azaleas in spring, enjoy fall foliage along a 15-km pathway within the park, and enjoy views of falling snow during wintertime. 

Most mural villages are characterized by narrow alleys and high building density, due to the nature of repurposing old city centres.

The souvenirs, food and activities all share the same theme, so you can fully immerse yourself in the vibe of the neighbourhood. Check out the cozy Mabijeong Mural Village and soak up the rural energy.
