— What You Can Expect —
Join the DMZ tour to understand South Korea and feel the pain of division as South Korea is the only divided country in the world. It takes about 6-7 hours for the tour, one of the most popular tourist itineraries in Korea.
Visit a number of spots including Imjingak Park (Bridge of Freedom, Wangbaitan), the third tunnel, DMZ image hall, exhibition hall, Dorasan Observatory, and Unification Village (window sightseeing).
It takes about an hour to get to the DMZ from the last spot.
- Imjingak Park
Visit Imjingak Park built in 1972 for people who were separated from their families and could not return to their hometown due to the division. You can also visit the Bridge of Freedom, where some 13,000 prisoners of war returned to Korea after the armistice.
- Third Tunnel
Get a glimpse of the third tunnel, one of four invasion tunnels in North Korea discovered in 1978. It is only 52 kilometers from Seoul and is the most dangerous one as it can pass around 30,000 soldiers per hour. Go down the tunnel on foot.
*Comfortable shoes are recommended when going down the tunnel as you will be entering a narrow, sloping tunnel.
- Dorasan Observatory
Look at North Korea from the Dorasan Observatory. The site can be seen even closer with a telescope, so it is the most popular spot in the DMZ itinerary. All tour groups will disband at City Hall Station.
