Itinerary
서울시청에서 북서쪽으로 약 56km, 군사분계선에서 7km 남쪽으로 임진강을 사이에 두고 위치한 임진각은 6.25 전쟁의 비극이 그대로 남아 있는 대한민국 대표 평화관광지이다. 전쟁의 아픈 흔적을 살펴보면서 평화의 소중함을 배울 수 있는 곳이다. 다양한 전쟁유물이 산재되어 있으며 전시관은 물론 3만평 규모의 잔디밭이 펼쳐 있는 평화누리공원이 있어 관광명소로 많이 알려져 있다. 임진각 일원은 6.25전쟁중에는 참담한 전쟁터이기도 했다. 전쟁초기에 폭파되어 지금까지도 남아 있는 임진강 철교, 공산군의 포로였던 국군과 유엔군이 자유를 찾아 건너왔던 자유의 다리가 있다. 북한 실향민을 위한 임진각이 세워지면서 임진각관광지로 지정되었다. 현재는 평화누리, 임진각 평화곤돌라, 6.25전쟁납북자기념관, 어린이 놀이시설 등의 새로운 시설이 들어서면서 14만평의 대규모 관광지가 되었다.
DMZ영상관에서 관련 영상을 관람하고 안전모를 착용한 뒤, 땅굴 안으로 들어간다. 촬영이 금지된 구역이니 휴대폰은 로커에 보관한다. 시간당 병력 3만 명이 이동할 수 있는 제3땅굴은 서울에서 불과 52km 거리다.
Situated in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do and at the northernmost point of the Military Demarcation Line, Dora Observatory replaced the previous Songaksan Observation Post. From the observatory, visitors can overlook North Korea, including Gaeseong, Songaksan, Kim Il-Sung Statue, and Cooperation Farm (Geumamgol). The observatory has 500 spectator seats, a VIP room, and a large parking area. It was first opened to the public in January 1987.
Dorasan Station, a railway station on the Gyeongui Line, is the northernmost stop on South Korea's railway line. Located 55.8 kilometers from Seoul and 205 kilometers from Pyeongyang, the station was opened as a tourist attraction on April 4, 2002 right before the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. To reach Dorasan Station, visitors can take the DMZ train on Gyeongui Line from Seoul Station or Munsan Station. As this area is located within the Civilian Control Line, visitors and tourists will only be granted access after going through an identification check at Imjingang Station.

I have done this type of tour to the DMZ several times before and this was definitely the best experience. 5 of us had a great day out. Sophia, our guide was engaged, passionate and took exceptionally good care of us. Meeting the defector was a highlight. Thank you so much
Hello. Louise Young We remember your party. On May 14th, we picked up at the Orakai Suite Hotel and went on a DMZ tour together. We were also happy to have your party tour of DMZ together. I hope you are always happy. Thank you.
Unprepared driving had anxiety and could not speak English. To improve because the place absolutely deserves
Have some good shoes because there’s plenty of walking. But it’s worth every step :) the tunnel was a highlight but also a workout. Our tour guide Ace was an ace in every sense of the word. Kept us informed and on schedule.
Very interesting tour! Our tour guide Grace was friendly and informative. It's an amazing way to see the DMZ, highly recommend!
Firstly the guide, Charles, absolutely brilliant, genuinely cared about his group, impeccable English and had a sense of humour, answered anything asked without missing a beat, best tour guide we have had and we have recently been in Hong Kong, Taipei and now Sth Korea, had a big issue with our booking, he and the tour company fixed the situation and went the extra mile, we were incredibly happy. The tour itself is fascinating and a great insight into the whole situation with background on how it came to be, the only point I have to make is there is a lot, and I mean a lot, of climbing up and down in the tunnel, very strenuous and quite difficult, however there is plenty of time allowed. All in all would do again tomorrow
First the guide Charles, could not fault him, English was fluent, genuinely cared about all of us, happy to help with anything asked, simply faultless, there was a problem with our booking and both Charles and the tour company worked incredibly hard to fix the situation, going above and beyond anything we have experienced in Hong Kong, Taiwan, until this point, incredibly informative and interesting, as a hint be aware there is a lot of walking into tunnels etc that is very hard and steep with bending and crouching also, highly recommend this tour, the tour company and the guide Charles
Our tour guide Andy was awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves history, like a little adventure on their vacation, and wants to step out of their comfort zone and walk into a tunnel under the DMZ.
