See the reality of a divided country in the DMZ

In the Demilitarized Zone you see for yourself the division of the Korean Peninsula that began in 1950. You go through the 3rd Tunnel, which was dug to invade South Korea, and visit an observation deck where you can see North Korean residents, a war history exhibition hall and Imjingak.

Your guide explains relations between North and South Korea and the history of the war, so it is easy to follow even if it is your first time in the DMZ.

Hear the story of the Joseon royal family at Gyeongbokgung

Together with the DMZ, you visit Gyeongbokgung Palace, where the king, the royal family and about 2,000 other people lived and ran the country. You learn that the palace was run less as a space just for the royal family and more like a modern company with staff and advisors.

Gyeongbokgung is closed every Tuesday, and on Tuesdays the tour visits Deoksugung Palace instead.
