How to Get to Daegu

Daegu, located in the southeastern region of Korea, serves as a key gateway to Northeast Asia. Its central position within the region ensures strong connectivity both within Korea and to major international destinations. Participants attending MIT GSW 2026 will primarily arrive through Incheon International Airport, Korea's main global hub and one of the busiest airports worldwide. Incheon provides extensive international routes connecting dozens of countries and major cities across the globe. From Incheon, attendees can travel to Daegu conveniently via the KTX high-speed rail system, with a journey time of approximately three and a half hours. For greater convenience, Daegu International Airport offers direct international routes to several major Asian cities, including Beijing, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo, and Osaka. The airport is located only a short distance from Kyungpook National University, the official venue of MIT GSW 2026, ensuring easy and efficient access for international guests. In addition, Gimhae International Airport (Busan) provides another viable entry point. Situated approximately 50 minutes from Daegu by airport limousine bus, Gimhae connects to numerous cities throughout Asia and serves as a practical alternative for international travelers.
