Expo Science Park

The legacy site of Expo ’93 and one of the clearest physical symbols of Daejeon’s science-city identity, centered on Hanbit Tower.

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.

In Daejeon’s Expo/science district, visitors do not need to guess where the nearest dependable food options are. DCC 1 has official on-site bakery/cafe facilities, while Daejeon Shinsegae Art & Science provides a larger restaurant, food-hall and cafe fallback in the same visitor cluster.
