From Seoul, Half-Day Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Tour

Seoul, South Korea

Seoul City Tour

Exploring the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the historical significance of this region. Imjingak Park, with its serene beauty, provides a peaceful setting for reflection on past conflicts while the Agentic Tunnel serves as a stark reminder of the tensions that once existed. The Dora Observatory, known for its breathtaking views, allows travelers to appreciate the natural landscape amidst the geopolitical challenges faced by the Korean Peninsula.



To begin, venture to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), where one can observe the narrow stretch of land separating North and South Korea, serving as a testament to decades of geopolitical tension and marking a significant period in global history.

Initiate your exploration at Imjingak Park, located just 7 kilometers away from the demarcation line, a site dedicated to commemorating the Korean War. Engage with its observatory, notable monuments, and the Freedom Bridge, which played a pivotal role in transporting 13,000 prisoners back to their families during the post-war era.

Proceed to the Third Infiltration Tunnel, discovered in 1978, offering visitors a glimpse into the unfinished structure constructed by North Korea into the South, which was condemned by the United Nations.

Submerge yourself in history at the Dora Observatory, where one can peer through the window into the secretive side of North Korea. Finally, arrive at Dorasan Station, the terminal point before reaching the DMZ, symbolizing the aspiration towards reunification.

Upon concluding the tour, be transferred to Seoul's City Hall for your departure.
