From the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel to Dora Observatory: Discover the DMZ

Meet your guide in Seoul and travel to Paju, where the DMZ is located. During the journey, your guide will share stories about the Korean War and the division of the peninsula, helping you understand the significance of the places you'll visit.

First, visit Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park to see sites like Mangbaedan and the Bridge of Freedom, remnants of the divided history. Then, proceed to the DMZ to visit key attractions such as the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel and Dora Observatory in sequence.

Main Itinerary:
Depart Seoul → Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park → 3rd Infiltration Tunnel → Dora Observatory → Imjingak → Gamaksan Suspension Bridge (Optional) → Return to Seoul


Walk Through the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel and Dora Observatory

The 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, discovered in 1978, was dug by North Korea as a way to invade the South. Walking through its interior offers a tangible experience of the military tension and the history of division on the Korean peninsula. Be prepared for some steep sections and a considerable walk, so comfortable footwear is recommended.

Next, head to Dora Observatory to gaze towards North Korea across the DMZ. On clear days, you can use the provided telescopes to get a closer look at the North Korean landscape.


Enjoy the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge Too

If you've opted for the suspension bridge, you'll visit the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge after your DMZ tour. Walking across this bridge, suspended between mountains and valleys, offers a different perspective of Paju's natural beauty, distinct from the DMZ itself.

The Gamaksan area also holds historical significance related to battles involving British forces during the Korean War, which your guide can explain. After completing all activities, you'll return to Seoul and the tour concludes around the City Hall or Myeongdong area.
