Seoul, South Korea

Seoul N Tour

The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) represents an exceptional geographical location offering visitors the opportunity to witness a nation's division into distinct territories. This unique setting presents both an atmosphere of heightened tension and a fervent desire for reconciliation between nations. Exploring this region allows individuals to delve deeply into the historical narrative of Korea, uncovering its complex past and contemplating its promising future prospects.



Join a guided day trip from Seoul to explore the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), situated along the shared borders of North and South Korea. This unique opportunity provides an immersive experience into one of the world's most heavily fortified boundaries, offering insights into the tumultuous history of the Korean War.

Departure begins with a pick-up service from Central Seoul, leading to Imjingak Park where visitors will first encounter the Freedom Bridge and the historic steam locomotive, serving as poignant reminders of the war's impact. Following this, there is a visit to a memorial dedicated to those who lost their lives during the conflict.

To delve deeper into the region's history, participants proceed to enter the Demilitarized Zone itself. Here, they can witness the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel and explore the DMZ Exhibition Hall, gaining valuable understanding of both nations' complex geopolitical relationship.

For a panoramic view, tourists make their way to the Dora Observatory, where they can use telescopes to observe North Korea and get a glimpse of its propaganda village.

The concluding segment of the tour includes relaxation en route to Seoul, traversing past Unification Village before arriving at City Hall, where guests will be dropped off.

For an enhanced experience, travelers may opt for a full-day extension, incorporating additional attractions such as the Gloucester Hill Memorial and Suspension Bridge (also known as the Gloucester Heroes Bridge).
