Hanbat Arboretum

Getting around: Take Daejeon Metro Line 1 to Government Complex-Daejeon Station and walk a few minutes into the Dunsan cultural district.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 9am-6pm (extended in summer); some sections may close on Mondays.

Hanbat Arboretum is a large, well-maintained botanical garden in the middle of Daejeon's Dunsan district, split into themed sections of Korean native plants, foreign species, and seasonal displays including a notable chrysanthemum festival in autumn. It's a calm counterpoint to the surrounding government and cultural complex, popular with local families for weekend walks.

It pairs easily with the neighboring Daejeon Museum of Art and Expo Park area for a green, low-key half-day in central Daejeon.
