Apsan Cafe Street 앞산카페거리
Daegu · Apsan & Daemyeong-dong · Sights
Below the Apsan ring road, the lanes of Daemyeong-dong hold a cluster of cafes, brunch spots and small restaurants that has grown into a popular strolling street. Many places occupy converted houses with terraces facing the mountain, and the style runs from industrial to cozy. Weekends bring photographers and couples, so go on a weekday if you want a seat.
There is no set list of sights, so wander, choose a cafe that appeals and then walk toward the gopchang alley for dinner. Individual shops open and close often, so rely on what you see in front of you rather than a review from last year.
Subway Line 1 to Anjirang or Hyeonchungno Station, then walk about ten minutes. Lane parking is scarce, so use a public lot. (Show a driver: 앞산카페거리)
