Taegu Discount Bookings with Accommodation South Korea

I spent only one day/night in Daegu and I wish so badly that I stayed longer! City is very well connected; I traveled from Busan with a train (45min) and then took a flight from Daegu to Jeju Island (1,5hr), both were very easily manageable. I wish I had more time here because the city was beautiful. It was very clean, new looking, the historic buildings/places looked well taken care of and most importantly, the PEOPLE! I traveled solo and I've been to 9 different cities in Korea and I feel like people here were the kindest. I don't expect anyone to help me with a suitcase, find the right bus stop etc, but people here just offered their help without me asking. It felt very nice as I haven't experienced this in other cities unless I asked for help. In general, people in Korea were extremely friendly and accommodating but I could definitely feel a difference between Seoul and Daegu for example. There seems to be a lot to do from museums, galleries, shopping to parks and hiking; and the city is somewhat walkable, but in general, I find the buses in Korea very reliable and easy to use. There is also a metro which I haven't used but it's going across the whole city. If you do not speak Korean or do not read Hangul, I wouldn't stress as it seemed like everyone in Daegu (regardless of their age) spoke English very well. I didn't get a chance to try lot of local food options as I am vegetarian, which was a struggle in Korea sometimes, however there were plenty of vegetarian and vegan places here. I will definitely spend more time in Daegu next time I visit Korea as I fell in love!

I was charged double for my stay. Both charges were made on my credit card in advance of my arrival. Booking.com indicated that my credit card was added to the booking simply to hold the room in advance. I reserved the rooms for myself and 2 colleagues anticipating that my colleagues would be able to pay for themselves for their portion of the bill once we arrived. Now I have a big mess to fix at work Reimbursements for this visit will be comlicated and depend on the honestly of my colleagues whose rooms were charged to my visa card. I'm really disappointed that the hotel insisted on charging my card not only before our arrival, but TWICE before our arrival. I don't know why this booking has completely disappeared from my account in Booking.com either. So there seems to be no way now for me to contact the hotel owner/manager about this problem (of double charges). I will never use this site or this hostel again.

It's a provincial city and as such is less exposed to foreign interaction. The people are very accommodating and understanding of this. The parks and riverside walks are breathtaking. The temples are profound.

The business owners we met really cared and converse easily about a wide range of topics so we felt welcomed. The quality and price of the goods was excellent. Public transport was convenient and fast, we went to the temple 50 kms away by bus and it was a short jaunt to Busan by train. We liked the museums and historical artifacts in the parks. The markets were eye candy.

I like the balance of nature and city environment. The parks are perfect for autumn. There food in the market are amazing and tastes really good. Coffee culture is in another level, it's so diverse. The people are nice too.

We went to Daegu to see the red maple leaves and yellow ginkgo leaves. We found The Keimyung University (KMU), Daegu a very good site for seeing these autumn leaves, especially when these trees were growing by the side of the beautiful buildings of the university. It is also very convenient to get there since it is right by the side of a subway station. We also went to Palgongsan, where the scenery with the autumn leaves was also amazing.
