Traveling route of Daegu City
It was better than I expected to be. What I liked more about Daegu was the "modern street" and "Yakryeongsi"(Korean medicine street).
When I visited, there were several festivals going on in Daegu. It was the Colorful Daegu Festival and Yakryeongsi Festival.

The suggested routes by officials
Among them, what I liked most... the 2nd one, called 'Modern Street' course.
Along the course, I could visit the Yakryeongsi Festival... From this event, I came to know that there were only two Yakyreongsi(Korea medicine specialized market) in Korea. One is in Seoul and the other is in Daegu. And it has really long history.
The following is the file of the courses... you can download by clicking on it but only Korean version available.
