Visit the Korean Demilitarized Zone

One of the most unique things to do in South Korea is visiting the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This is a heavily guarded area that separates South Korea and North Korea, just about 50 km from Seoul. It offers a rare and powerful look into the history of the Korean War and the ongoing divide between the two countries.

A DMZ tour usually takes you to important places like the Third Infiltration Tunnel, which was found in the 1970s, and the Dora Observatory, where you can look into North Korea using telescopes. Some tours include the Joint Security Area in Panmunjom, the only place where you can technically stand in both South and North Korea at the same time, however visiting this area depends on political conditions.

Guided DMZ tours also help you understand more about the region's past and present, including stories of divided families and hopes for peace. Whether you are into history or just curious, a DMZ visit is a moving and unforgettable part of any South Korea tour package that shows the country’s strength and hope for the future.
