Travel Report: Daegu, South Korea

Flight Tickets and Travelling to Daegu

We bought flight tickets from Kilroy Travels. It's for the best to book them as soon as you know when you are travelling. A flight from Europe to Korea costs 500-600 euros. You have three ways to travel from Seoul International Airport to Daegu.

1. A flight from Seoul to Daegu costs about 50 euros. The bad thing with this option is, that the domestic flight leaves from a different airport. You can take a taxi or a bus there. Beware of expensive taxi drivers who pick up people from inside the airport.

2. You can take a train to Daegu. It takes 4 hours and costs about 10 euros. The new faster train takes 2 hours, but costs 30 euros. You can get to the railway station by bus, which takes one hour. This is not the easiest way with a lot of luggage.

3. You can also take a bus to Daegu directly from the international airport. The price is 17 euros and you can buy a ticket on the airport after you arrive. This is an easy way and you can see the scenery on the way. The trip takes about 5 hours.

You can ask in advance that a student from Keimyung University comes to pick you up from the Daegu airport, railway station or bus station. You can also take a taxi. To get to the dormitory you need to say "Keimyung dehakyo kisuksaee ga juseyo". It took us 31 hours to get from our home to the dormitory in Korea. This includes 8 hours of waiting in Amsterdam to change the airplane.
