Daegu's autumn Stamp 20 event begins September 21 and runs through October 18, 2026. Korea Tourism Organization's Travel Month page says participants use the Cashwalk app to visit Daegu attractions and collect stamps. That makes the event a framework, not a ready-made itinerary. The useful task is to choose a compact district, verify live missions, and keep a weather-proof alternative.
This article does not invent rewards, required stamp counts, or participating venues beyond the current official listing. Open the event detail and app on the day of travel because mission inventory and eligibility can change.
Start with the rule screen
Before booking transport, capture the live event period, participation steps, eligible locations, reward conditions, account requirements, and any resident or device restrictions. The public listing confirms the dates and Cashwalk mechanism, but a campaign's detailed terms govern whether a foreign visitor can enter or redeem a benefit.
| Decision | Best practice | Failure to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Account | install and verify before departure | discovering phone verification limits on site |
| Route | cluster stops in one district | crossing the city for isolated stamps |
| Weather | pair outdoor and indoor options | losing the day to rain or heat |
| Reward | treat it as optional | overspending to chase uncertain value |

Pick one city story
A first-time visitor can organize the day around modern downtown Daegu, markets and food, or parks and viewpoints. Do not mix distant attractions simply because they appear in the same campaign. Travel time, opening days, slopes, and evening transport determine whether a route works.
For a downtown plan, begin near a major transit node, complete one verified mission, take a meal break, then add a second stop only if the app and energy level support it. For a landscape-focused plan, check visibility and sunset, and descend before unfamiliar paths become dark.

Budget the day without counting a prize
Separate fixed travel costs from optional event spending. A sensible budget includes intercity transport, local transit, meals, admission where applicable, and a contingency. Do not justify an extra taxi or purchase based on a reward whose eligibility you have not confirmed.
Carry a charged phone and battery because the event depends on an app. Keep screenshots of the rule page for reference, but remember that the live page controls if terms update. Location permissions, background activity, and data access may affect check-in; review them before arriving.
Use a timed loop, not a scavenger sprint

A balanced day might use the morning for an outdoor stop, midday for an indoor museum or market, late afternoon for a second verified mission, and early evening for a meal near the return station. Confirm opening hours and last admission directly with each venue. Monday closures and temporary exhibition schedules vary.
Expected crowding is higher on weekends, during Chuseok travel, and at photogenic sunset locations. Arrive early for the most important stop. If the app cannot verify a mission, take a timestamped personal record only for customer support; do not block entrances or photograph strangers.
Plan B for rain, closures, and app failure
Rain plan: switch to indoor attractions and food stops that remain worthwhile without a stamp. Closure plan: substitute a nearby verified mission rather than crossing the city. App plan: restart location services, check data access, confirm the correct account, and use the listed inquiry contact. If the problem persists, continue the trip without the promotion.
The event listing provides inquiry number 053-430-7334. Use it for campaign details, not emergency help. For urgent police or medical assistance in Korea, call 112 or 119.
Seasonal context
Late September and early October can bring warm afternoons, cooler evenings, rain, and rapid daylight change. Carry water, a light layer, and sun or rain protection. Foliage timing is not guaranteed by the event dates. Describe what you actually see rather than promising peak autumn color.
Daegu is a major city, not a single attraction. The stamp event is most valuable when it helps a visitor notice connections between neighborhoods. It is least useful when the promotion dictates every decision.
Based on the verified listing, the right plan is to confirm the app rules, choose one compact story, and regard rewards as a bonus. That keeps the trip worthwhile even if a mission, venue, or weather window fails.
