Overview

  • The Korean War ended on July 27, 1953 with a cease-fire. The Northern and Southern Limit Lines were created as each side moved their troops back 2km from the Military Demarcation Line. At the present time, an area within 2 km in both side is designated as the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone). You can visit several famous spots in DMZ which you can feel the reality of national division. The entire experience is guided, educational and deeply moving.

    Visit Imjingak, ride the Peace Gondola(optional) across Imjin River, explore Camp Greaves, a former US military base used during the Korean War, walk through the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel and witness North Korea at Dora Observatory.

Activity itinerary

Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park

  • 40m
Located just 7 kilometres from the Military Demarcation Line, Imjingak is a symbolic and historical park built to console those displaced by the Korean War. The park features various monuments, including the Freedom Bridge, which once allowed repatriated prisoners of war and soldiers to cross back into South Korea. You’ll also see remnants of old trains that were stopped in their tracks by war, a poignant reminder of Korea’s division. This tranquil site offers visitors a moving introduction to the complex history between North and South Korea.

Camp Greaves DMZ Experience (Youth Hostel)

  • 1h 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Camp Greaves is 2km away from the Southern Limit Line of the DMZ. The US forces in Korea were stationed here for about 50 years. It was renovated to an officers' quarter in 2013. It is currently used as a Youth Hostel. You can enjoy the exhibitions and displays in the area.

Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Optionally take the Peace Gondola ride across the Imjingang River into the DMZ civilian control zone. While riding the gondola, you'll get a rare view of the heavily restricted area that separates North and South Korea. Once you reach the other side, you can explore the Peace Gondola Observatory, learn about Korea’s divided history, and see historical remnants like guard posts and wire fences up close. It’s a thought-provoking experience combining scenic beauty with deep historical meaning.

The Third Tunnel

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Discovered in 1978, the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel is one of four underground tunnels dug by North Korea in an attempt to invade the South. Stretching over 1.6 kilometres long and capable of moving 30,000 troops per hour, the tunnel is both a fascinating and sobering example of the tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Equipped with safety helmets, you’ll descend into the tunnel to witness its cramped dimensions and strategic design, walking along a route that once symbolised potential conflict but now serves as a powerful site of education and remembrance.

Dora Observatory

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Situated on top of Mount Dora, this observatory allows you to look across the heavily fortified DMZ and into the mysterious terrain of North Korea. On a clear day, you can view the North Korean propaganda village, military outposts, and even daily life in the border town of Kaesong through high-powered binoculars. The observatory provides a rare and surreal experience—standing just metres from one of the most secretive countries in the world, all while learning about the reality of life on both sides of the divide.
