This is also highly recommended for ARMYs who want to efficiently tour SUGA's pilgrimage sites! The day after the BTS Busan concert, four of us Yoongi stans took a day trip from Busan to Daegu via KTX. We were picked up at Dongdaegu Station and visited the Mural Street area, then had makchang at Gopchang Alley, and toured schools. Finally, we were dropped off at a bus stop near the school and took bus 724 (* 'ᵕ' ). Our driver, Mr. Park, was very kind and polite, and he took many photos for us, creating truly wonderful memories. Since we already knew where we wanted to go, we sent a list from Naver Maps to the operator in advance, but I'm sure you'd have a great time even if you left it up to them. I would definitely like to use this service again if I have the chance.

The room price with free breakfast for 2 is very worthy for your bucks. The room is a bit small and almost no space for big luggages but it is manageable. It’s a plus that it is walking distance from starbucks

This was my first trip to Daegu with my daughter, and we had a really fun time. It was all thanks to the hotel! The location was excellent, so if we got a little tired, we could just pop back in, rest, recharge, and then head out again. There were also many great restaurants, cafes, and popular spots right in front of the hotel, so we could quickly grab a bite when there wasn't a line, which was fantastic. If I go again, I would definitely revisit. There's a reason why there are no empty rooms here.

This was our first time purchasing from Klook. The checkout process was very smooth. The ticket sold on Klook is cheaper than in person or through a local travel agent. However, Klook only offers one type of all-day pass, unlike others. We were also able to use the unused, pre-purchased ticket from the previous day the next day. Entry was simple—you just scan the PDF barcode received via email, no need to visit the customer service window. If you parked your vehicle, you can use the same barcode at the Auto Fee Kiosk after entering your license plate number to get a discount, reducing the parking fee to 3,000 KRW. Use a T-Money card, Korean bank card, or Wow Pass card to pay for the auto fee, as Visa cards can be unreliable. The food inside is average, drinks are reasonably priced, and they accept Visa inside. We visited on a Wednesday, so there were no lines. Thanks, Klook!

Highly recommend getting e-world tickets via Klook; cheap & easy to use. We were able to use an unused tickets purchased the day before (which was a plus)!

This was really one of my best days. I bought the tickets for me and my friends. Everything was super convenient. I just showed the barcode and we went in. The tower is also included and the cable cars are included aswell.

Awesome! Some of the attractions are really scary, and some are fast. It gets crowded on weekends with many students from school, so I don't recommend visiting on weekends or holidays, but the atmosphere is great. Queue times: Not too long at 10:00 AM, but then they get long.
