Gyeongbokgung, Seoul, South Korea

I LOVE SEOUL TOUR Lctd

Explore the demilitarized zone (DMZ) from South Korea and delve into the historical conflict between North and South Korea. Marvel at the breathtaking views from the Dora Observatory.



The journey to one of the most significant tourist destinations in the world involves visiting the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), situated along the border between South and North Korea. This unique location offers visitors the opportunity to gain profound insights into the rich history and cultural heritage of both nations.

Upon arrival at the designated point, embark upon a guided tour through Imjingak Park, where key landmarks such as the Bridge of Freedom become accessible. This iconic structure served as a means of communication during times when North and South Korean prisoners of war were being repatriated. Visitors may also explore the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, which, though unfinished, provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical tensions and potential future reunification of the Korean peninsula.

As the tour concludes, proceed to the slopes of Mount Dora, offering panoramic views over the vast expanse of the Demilitarized Zone. Under clear skies, the breathtaking vista allows for a sweeping view of the entire DMZ, spanning approximately 2.4 miles (4 kilometers). This expansive landscape underscores the enduring legacy of division and serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the two Koreas.

Following the tour, make your way to Unification Village, nestled near the DMZ in South Korea. Here, you'll find a bustling marketplace filled with a wide array of souvenirs and memorabilia reflecting themes of peace and reconciliation. Many vendors offer products from both North and South Korea, creating a vibrant cross-cultural exchange experience.

To conclude the trip, choose your departure route from either Myeongdong or City Hall stations, depending on personal preferences. Enjoy the convenience and accessibility these stations provide for transportation within Seoul.

Please note that the specific arrival time may vary based on the volume of travelers and road conditions on the day of your visit.
