Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park
Located just 7 kilometers 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.
40 minutes
Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola (DMZ Gondola)
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.
30 minutes
Admission Included
Camp Greaves DMZ Experience (Youth Hostel)
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.
70 minutes
Admission 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 kilometers 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 symbolized potential conflict but now serves as a powerful site of education and remembrance.
120 minutes
Admission 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 meters from one of the most secretive countries in the world, all while learning about the reality of life on both sides of the divide.
