The DMZ has always been a topic of interest among travelers to Korea for its historical significance, the Korean War aftermath that still affects the two countries even to this day.
Although the DMZ is a heavily military-controlled border area, certain regions around the DMZ are made accessible to civilians as a way to remember the sacrifice and loss from the Korean War, appreciate the nature reserve left untouched for decades, and hope for a peaceful reunification.

    The Third Tunnel

    The 3rd Tunnel is the third of its kind built by North Korea for the purpose of invading South Korea. It was discovered in 1978. Among the four tunnels located so far, it is closest to Seoul (about 52 km). It has a total length of 1.6 km and a width of 2 m. It is estimated that nearly 30,000 personnel can move through the tunnel every hour. Visitors to the 3rd Tunnel must reserve the tour in advance. The tour starts from the Imjingak Pavilion. All visitors are required to bring their identification, such as passports or Alien Registration Card (ARC).

    Dora Observatory

    Dora Observatory is the closest DMZ observatory to Panmunjeom. From Dora Observatory, one can see not only the Panmunjeom but also the village of Daeseong-dong within the DMZ, mountains and farmlands on the North Korean side, and the city of Gaeseong, a North Korean city and the historic capital of Goryeo (918-1392). Individual visits are not allowed. The observatory can only be accessed through the DMZ Peace Tour, which embarks from Imjingak Pavilion after reservation. All visitors are required to bring their identification, such as passports or Alien Registration Card (ARC).

    Tongilchon Jangdankong Maeul, specializing in bean curd dishes, is situated adjacent to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). To access it, visitors are required to bring their identification and pass through a checkpoint. The Jangdankong beans used here are known for their robust, savory flavor, distinguishing them from other beans. The restaurant is famous for its Jangdankong set menu, dubu jeongol (bean curd hot pot), doenjang jjigae (soybean paste jjigae), and Jangdan kongguksu (noodles in cold soybean soup), particularly popular during the summer season.
