Daejeon Skyroad — Attraction in Daejeon

Daejeon Skyroad – A Futuristic Walk Through the Heart of the City

Located in Jung-gu, Daejeon, Skyroad is a massive LED arcade stretching over 250 meters along Jungang-ro.

The skyroad is also very close to the Daejeon market. Both highly recommended.

The only downside is the parking, but overall it is not...

This was a good place to cool off and wind down the night before heading back home on the KTX.

Lots of food places to eat as well as your common 7-11 types stores too.

They played various commercials for Koreans products as well as popular kpop music videos.

Yes they have speakers around so that you can hear the sounds...
