Travel to North Korea

North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country that has long been a source of interest for adventurous travelers. With its strict government controls, limited access and enigmatic culture, North Korea offers a truly unique travel experience.


Visiting North Korea is not an ordinary vacation. Tourists are closely monitored and accompanied, and routes are strictly controlled by the government. Travelers are required to participate in guided tours, which means you won't have the opportunity to explore the country on your own.


One of the highlights of traveling to North Korea is the opportunity to see the majesty of the capital Pyongyang and admire its iconic landmarks, such as Juche Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. The country's rich history and deep-rooted traditions are on display in places like the Kumsusan Sun Palace, which houses the embalmed bodies of former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and the ancient city of Kaesong.


However, it is important to keep in mind the political and cultural sensitivities of North Korea. Strict rules must be followed, including refraining from negative comments about the regime, and photography is often restricted or regulated.
