For a first visit to Daejeon, choose a base around Daejeon Station / Dunsan / Yuseong, then build the first full day around one part of Hanbat Arboretum · Yuseong · Expo area. Use Bakery stops · kalguksu for meal ideas and leave a second block for whatever interests you most.

Check the link from Daejeon Station / Seodaejeon, depending on service before reserving accommodation. Add Gongju only after the core stay feels comfortable. A shorter list with realistic transfers is easier to enjoy than a route that depends on everything running perfectly.
