What To Expect
DMZ
What is the DMZ in Korea? The Korean Demilitarized Zone is where North and South Korea come together to form the most heavily-fortified border on the planet. DMZ Korea is the most unique destination in the country and one of the most fascinating places to see in the entire world. Curious travellers from all over the globe flock to experience this mysterious destination, hoping to gain an insider understanding of North Korea – the world’s most secretive country. Rated the number one tourist activity in the nation, the DMZ in Korea offers a deep dive into history, politics, and the Korean War.
Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park
The acronym “DMZ” means Demilitarized Zone. As its name suggests, it is a buffer zone between North and South Korea where no military personnel, installations or activities are allowed. It is also often regarded as a stretch of no man’s land and is roughly 4 KM wide. Its purpose is to preserve the peace between both sides and avoid military confrontations. The only exception to this rule is the Joint Security Area (JSA), where troops from both sides secure an area for peaceful talks and negotiation between the leaders. The best way to think of the DMZ is as a neutral ground where the North and South can communicate.

We booked a private tour to the DMZ throught Viator Alice of VIP Tour was our guide and Andy was our driver. Alice was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and told us many stories about Seoul and the DMZ. My kids love her too and we highly recommend her to other travelers. Andy drove very well and got us to all of the sight seeing spots right on time. Thank you Alice and Andy for looking after us!
