Discover the best experiences this city has to offer
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. It is a place of profound historical significance, offering a tangible glimpse into the realities of the Cold War and the ongoing division of a nation. Visitors can witness the sheer silence of the border, explore interception tunnels, and view North Korean villages from observatories. Ironically, this scar of war has transformed into an accidental sanctuary for wildlife. Left untouched by human development for decades, the DMZ is now a pristine ecological haven. A tour here is not just a lesson in geopolitics, but an emotional journey through time, highlighting the resilience of nature and the enduring hope for peace.
Experience the zone safely with officially sanctioned tours that navigate the strict military checkpoints and buffer areas.
Visit iconic landmarks including the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, Dora Observatory, and the Freedom Bridge.
Step into a region where history has stood still since 1953, preserving both the conflict and the natural environment.
