There’s a reason why Korea is divided into its North and South territories. After drafting an agreement that ceased the violence of the Korean War, the Korean DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) stands as the border between the territories.

The DMZ has seen several negotiations between the two countries as they attempt to bury the hatchet. Along with the notable meeting houses and the clear dividing line between the countries, a museum is dedicated to the memory and history of the Korean War.

Because North Korea is such a reclusive country with strict entrance requirements, the Korean DMZ may be the best chance for curious travelers who want to study the relationship between the North and the South.

The DMZ remains a highly popular tourist spot in South Korea, so be sure to book the Cheorwon DMZ Day Tour from Seoul with Klook to make the most of the area.
