    The official route has several variants; save the exact first stop rather than a generic centre pin.

    Venue boundaryEvery indoor stop has independent hours and closure rules

    An open lane does not guarantee entry to missionary houses, museums, residences, churches or exhibition rooms.

    Mobility boundaryHills, the March First steps, kerbs and road crossings

    Select a flatter partial route when stairs or long standing are a barrier and use current accessible entrances for individual venues.

    Parking boundaryNo route-wide parking guarantee

    Choose a named public car park before arrival or use central Daegu transit; do not route into residential alleys.

    Exact arrival66 Gukchaebosang-ro 102-gil · TourAPI route reference

    This is one usable reference on a multi-stop walking network; save the intended course start and finish separately.

    Worship and resident boundaryActive cathedral, neighbourhood lanes and private property

    Lower voices, keep entrances clear and never enter a home, courtyard or worship area merely because it appears on the route map.

    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Choose Course 2 or a shorter named section

      Daegu Tourism publishes the representative Course 2 as about 1.64 km and two hours. Indoor stops, steep sections and road crossings make a selective route more realistic for some visitors.

    2. 02
      Walk the outdoor route independently

      The route itself is listed free and without a general time restriction, but museums, historic houses, churches and shops each keep their own hours.

    3. 03
      Reconfirm the free scheduled interpretation

      The current official course page lists two Saturday interpretation starts. Confirm date, language, meeting point, capacity and weather before building a trip around one.

    A century-old Catholic precinct of red-brick architecture and wooded grounds encompassing the diocesan offices, university campus, clergy cemetery, Lourdes-inspired Seongmodang shrine and nearby religious institutions; the grounds are listed always open with parking, but this remains an active worship and education complex, so dress respectfully, avoid services and funerals and ask before interior photography.

    2. 02

      Reconfirm the free scheduled interpretation

      The current official course page lists two Saturday interpretation starts. Confirm date, language, meeting point, capacity and weather before building a trip around one.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Save the Korean name of the first and final stop; asking for 'Modern Alley' alone can lead to different course entrances.
    • Check the closing time of the most important indoor venue first, then place the always-accessible lanes around it.
    • Carry water and use marked crossings; the compact map can hide slopes, steps and live traffic between stops.
    • Search “대구광역시 중구 국채보상로102길 66 대구 근대골목” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
