Where to go here

Tap a name to run it through search

  1. Paju DMZ

    파주 DMZ(비무장지대)

    Where the division of the peninsula stops being an abstraction.

    Must do

    Book a tour from Seoul in advance — individual entry is not allowed. Bring your actual passport for the ID check.

  2. Suwon Hwaseong Fortress & Haenggung-dong

    수원화성 & 행궁동

    Walk the fortress wall, then drop into the cafe alleys inside it.

    Must do

    If 5.7km of wall is too much, take the Hwaseong trolley. The wall is at its best in the evening once the lights come on.

  3. Everland

    에버랜드

    The biggest theme park in the country.

    Must do

    Close enough for a day trip from Seoul. Queue for the T Express right at opening, and in tulip or rose season the gardens alone can fill the day.

Insider's note

The DMZ is not a place you can simply drive into — entry needs an application and an ID check. Booking a tour from Seoul is effectively the only way in, and you must carry your passport on the day.
