South Korea · DMZ TOURS
The Demilitarized Zone is a buffer roughly four kilometres wide either side of the 1953 Armistice Line, and the war it came from is paused rather than ended. Tours differ mostly in which observatory and which tunnel they reach, whether they are half a day or a full one, and where they pick you up. Every itinerary below is listed with its length and its price; identification is checked at the control point, so the passport you book under has to be the one you carry.
