Apsan Observatory
A hillside viewpoint over Daegu in Nam-gu. Visiting the observatory and riding the paid Apsan cable car are separate matters; check the cable car's monthly schedule.
- Address
- 454, Apsansunhwan-ro, Nam-gu, Daegu (대구광역시 남구 앞산순환로 454); tourism listing address, not a verified summit/trailhead location.
- Nearby transit
- Check the latest transit and walking access to the cable-car station and the trailhead separately. Travel times to the viewpoint have not been verified.
- Hours
- The city guide describes free observatory access but a paid cable car. It lists 10:30–19:00 (to 21:00 on Friday/weekends/holidays) only for October; do not apply these hours to November. Confirm the current monthly cable-car schedule with its operator.
Daegu's tourism guide gives 454 Apsansunhwan-ro as its listing address; this should not be mistaken for the precise summit platform or hiking trailhead. Its 10:30–19:00 schedule (until 21:00 on Fridays, weekends and holidays) is explicitly labelled for October, not November.
Why go
See Daegu's urban landscape framed by mountains, particularly near sunset. The observatory may be approached by trail or cable car, subject to conditions that need checking before travel.
