　　Not far from Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral is this very historic hilly area of Daegu, which contains various early-20th-century missionary houses and residences; it's a charming diversion into the city's European-style history and heritage. Note the colossal modern church right alongside the area.

Must-see attractions

Daegu National Museum

Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral
