The Two Sides of Daejeon Station: A Railway-City Arrival Guide

At Daejeon Station, store luggage and protect your departure time first, then choose either the west-side old city or the east-side Soje-dong as the main route. For a 3–5-hour east-side walk, treat former railway housing, adaptive reuse, residents, and redevelopment as overlapping layers and return to the station at least 40 minutes before your train.
