· 5 min
3
The Bridge of Freedom
The Bridge of Freedom is a historic bridge situated near Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park, close to the DMZ. Brief Explanation: Built after the Korean War, it was named because prisoners of war crossed this bridge to return to freedom in the South. It was originally part of a railway line connecting North and South Korea. Today: Although no longer in use, it is preserved as a symbol of freedom and hope. Visitors can view it from Imjingak, often adorned with ribbons and messages advocating for reunification.
· 5 min

Civilian Control Zone (CCZ)
The Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) is a buffer area located just south of the DMZ. While not part of the actual DMZ, it remains under strict control by the South Korean military. Established after the Korean War, it was designed to restrict civilian access for security purposes and acts as an additional protective layer before reaching the DMZ. Why is it restricted? Entry into the CCZ is controlled because it is very close to North Korea, contains military facilities and surveillance systems, and may have landmines and sensitive infrastructure. Visitors must join an authorized tour, pass through military checkpoints, and present a passport or ID.
· 5 min· Admission included

· 1 h· Admission included

Fantastic DMZ Tour with Jun!
tracymI983HP, October 2026
We had a fantastic experience on our DMZ tour today, thanks to our wonderful guide, Jun. Jun was friendly, knowledgeable, professional. He shared fascinating information about the history of the DMZ and the relationship between North and South Korea, making the experience both interesting and enjoyable. He was also incredibly organised. With tickets in such high demand, Jun made sure we arrived early enough to be the first group to secure tickets, allowing us to make the most of our day. We visited the suspension bridge, Third Infiltration Tunnel, observatory and other significant historical sites. Throughout the tour, Jun kept everything running smoothly and made sure everyone was comfortable and well informed We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Jun to anyone considering a DMZ tour. Thank you, Jun, for a memorable day! 😊🇰🇷
★★★★★Viator review
Really interesting trip and great guide.
Gareth_F, October 2026
We really enjoyed our trip. It was an early start at 5.30 but this made sure we secured a good timed entry to the restricted zone and also we got monorail tickets down into the tunnels. The views of North Korea was impressive. The best bit of the trip was our guide Jong. She was an absolute delight and the highlight for us.

DMZ tour with tunnel visit
Greg_T, October 2026
Great tour and very informative by our guide Joo-Ee. You will want to make sure your DMZ tour does the third tunnel walk. Our guide anticipated crowds, thus had our tour leave early which enabled us to be first at many sites. Great communication through WhatsApp.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
