Places to Go North Korea
A carefully choreographed blend of monumental architecture, Juche-era symbolism and tightly managed public spaces rests on a bedrock of centuries-old customs, traditional crafts and historic sites in North Korea – making it a uniquely compelling destination.
We’ll introduce you to the capital’s grand boulevards and ornate monuments – like Kim Il-Sung Square and the Mansudae Grand Monument – alongside the political landmark of Panmunjom on the DMZ border. Beyond these headline attractions, our recommendations include off-the-beaten-path treasures: mist-shrouded hermitages on Mount Myohyang, the ancient Koguryo Tombs (a UNESCO site) and the historic streets of Kaesong.
Our specialists will help you refine your itinerary to match your personal interests – whether you’re drawn to North Korea’s political history, its unique cultural performances, or its remote mountain temples.
