Visit the DMZ and the border with North Korea

One of the most unique and sobering day trips on earth, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is the heavily fortified border dividing North and South Korea. You can only visit on an organised tour, which takes you to observation points looking into the North, infiltration tunnels, and, on some tours, the Joint Security Area where the two sides meet face to face. It's a fascinating, moving insight into a conflict that has never officially ended. Book ahead, as tours require advance registration and your passport. We'll explain the tour options and what each includes.
