Description
The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) tour is a popular and insightful trip for visitors in South Korea. The DMZ is a 150-mile (241-kilometer) zone that serves as a buffer between North and South Korea1. It was established in 1953 after the Korean War, and it is the most heavily armed border on earth. At the Dora Observatory, you can catch a rare glimpse of the reclusive North Korean territory. The DMZ tour is a perfect way to learn more about Korean history and the current separation between North and South Korea.
