Getting around Daejeon: subway, bus, taxi and transit cards

Use Subway Line 1 as the city spine, buses for places beyond the rail corridor, and taxis when luggage, late hours or a direct trip matter more than cost.

DCC, the National Science Museum, Hanbat Arboretum, Daejeon Arts Center and the Yeonjeong Korean Traditional Music Center sit in one broad visitor zone, but none is simply 'at' Government Complex Station. Use Line 1 as the spine and choose the final bus, taxi or walk by destination.
