Discover the Korean peninsula's divided past

Dive into the complexities of Korean history on a guided tour of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). As you get closer to DMZ, you’ll see wire fences and concrete watchtowers painting a stark picture of the ongoing division between North and South Korea. First, you’ll visit the memorials at Imjingak Peace Park, which offer a poignant reminder of the human cost of the Korean War.

You'll also venture into the "Third Tunnel of Aggression," one of 4 secret tunnels dug by North Korea for a potential invasion. Peer through the Dorasan Observatory's powerful binoculars, catching glimpses of a North Korean farming village and the eerily empty "truce village."

Walk along the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge

At the Joint Security Area, you’ll understand the true nature of the tiff between the 2 countries as you see the tense stand-off at the only meeting point for North and South Korean officials at the DMZ. The DMZ Theater and Exhibition Hall offer a deeper understanding of the conflict through photographs, installations, and performances. You’ll get to walk across the Freedom Bridge, that many South Koreans used to return to their homes. Then, walk along the 150-meter suspension bridge across Silmari Valley viewing the Ungye Falls and Mt. Gamak, built honoring the sacrifice of the British 1st Battalion of the Gloucester Regiment in the Korean War. Wrap up your historical day trip with a convenient drop-off at your hotel or City Hall.
