DMZ TOUR FROM SEOUL! The Closest I'll Get To North Korea! | South Korea Vlog
I went on the most popular day tour from Seoul - a tour to the DMZ border to see North Korea!
This was such a good tour. I I booked it through Get Your Guide with I Love Seoul Tours (link below), they picked me up close to my hotel and we drove to Imjinjak Park first, everything you can see from here is South Korea but it’s an important place to visit as it’s the most North people can go without getting government permission and it has memorials to the families that were split during the creation of the 2 Countries.
(THE TOUR I TOOK & RECOMMEND:
We then passed through a security check point and had our passports checked before arriving to Dorasan International Station which was finished in 2002. The line goes from Seoul into North Korea and the railway carries on into China, Russia and then Europe. As it stands only one train leaves from here a day into North Korea.
Dora Observatory is the highlight of the trip, this is where you can see North Korea from and the DMZ. There are telescopes which are free and offer clear views into the Countryside of North Korea. You can also see both Countries flag poles and the propaganda village on the side of North Korea!
We ended our day tour of the DMZ at an infiltration tunnel. There are 4 known tunnels and we went to the 3rd tunnel. After a quick video about the war and the DMZ we got to go inside the tunnel (no camera’s or phones are allowed) which was cool and interesting to see.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)
Day Trip from Seoul to DMZ, the Demilitarised Zone Between South Korea and North Korea
When visiting South Korea, one of the tourist things to do is to book a day trip from Seoul to the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone between South Korea and North Korea) or the JSA (Joint Security Area). Actually, the Demilitarised Zone between the two Koreas is the most militarised area in the world. I wanted to do the JSA tour but that one was already fully booked months in advance. So the DMZ tour includes a visit to Imjingak Park, the Dora Observatory (view the DMZ area and North Korea in the distance), the 3rd infiltration tunnel (built by North Korea to attack the south) and Dorasan Station.

SEOUL TRAIN To North Korea Border ( DMZ TRAIN )????????
It was strange expereince we had. We traveled by train from South Korea to the North Korea border. The journey embarked from Seoul ( The capital city of South Korea ) We decided to take a train by ourselves instead of taking DMZ tour by bus from Seoul. The DMZ can only be visited as part of a guided tour, during which travelers get the chance to see the Joint Security Area (JSA), also known as Panmunjom, where the North and South met for peace talks during the war.

Nordkorea DMZ • Ist die Tour von Seoul gefährlich ? • Süd Korea VLOG #24
Mit gemischten Gefühlen ging es mit der DMZ Tour an die Grenze Nordkoreas. DMZ bedeutet demilitarisierte Zone und ist wohl einer, der gefährlichsten Orte der Welt. Jederzeit könnte hier der nächste Krieg zwischen Nordkorea und Südkorea ausbrechen. Das haben wir bei unserer Südkorea Reise ständig im Hinterkopf.
Dennoch spürt man von der Bedrohung nichts, in Südkorea. Deswegen können wir euch die Norkorea DMZ Tour nur wärmstens ans Herz legen, um die Geschichte, sowie die Gegenwart zu verstehen.
Solltest du noch weitere Fragen zu diesem Thema haben, dann schreibe uns doch einfach in die Kommentare und wir werden versuchen, dich fit zu bekommen!
Und jetzt viel Spaß mit diesem Video
Falls dir dieses Video gefallen hat, zeige uns das doch mit (k)einem Daumen hoch ????

Wir wünschen dir einen wunderschönen und entspannten Tag und genieße deine Zeit, wo immer du auch gerade unterwegs bist.

Korea DMZ Spy Tour (South Korea & North Korea Border) + Eating Korean Barbecue Duck 오리
Join us for Korea DMZ Spy Tour as we visit the border between South Korea and North Korea Border before eating Korean Barbecue Duck (오리 ) for lunch.
David's Channel:
For the DMZ tour we first visited historically significant parts of Seoul where North Korean commandos had infiltrated as an assassination attempt of the president of South Korea. Later we visited Imjingak Peace Park where we checked out numerous exhibits and had views of North Korea from a high vantage point. The final part of our Korea DMZ tour was to visit a South Korean DMZ military camp. Overall, I would highly recommend the tour.
The Korean Duck Barbecue was absolutely delicious. With communal seating, we gathered around a grill where the meat was first cooked, flipped and then sliced into pieces with scissors. To eat it Korean style, we grabbed a piece of meat and put it on top of lettuce before adding rice, onions and ssamjang sauce. This really gave it some extra kick, spice, and juiciness.
Thank you to KTO (Korea Tourism Organization) for making this trip possible.

Korea DMZ Spy Tour (South Korea & North Korea Border) + Eating Korean Barbecue Duck:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.

Seoul South Korea DMZ tour PART 2
A quick look at the DMZ
Korean BBQ DUCK + DMZ Spy Tour at the South Korea - North Korea Border | Paju, South Korea
On the morning of my second day in South Korea, I got to do something really cool! My group and I headed to the demilitarized zone at the border between North and South Korea!
FEATURED TRAVELERS:
Sam:
Jorden:
Mira:
Diana:
Our first stop was the site of the Kim Sin-jo Incident, where 31 North Korean spies crossed over into South Korea with the intention of killing the South Korean president in 1968. There was a huge shootout and 29 of the spies died, 1 escaped, and 1 (Kim Sin-jo) was caught and snitched on his country. Today he’s a TV star!
Then we headed to a memorial to the chief of police during the assassination attempt on the president’s life in 1968. He’s a national hero! Then, we made our way to Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion, which offers incredible views of Seoul. You can see the mountains and it’s chillier up there! It’s a great lookout point where you can see this incredible city of 25 million people!
Next, we took a one-hour drive to the joint security area in Paju. From where we stood, North Korea was just across the river, 2.5 kilometers away. On the North Korean side, the land is flat and all the trees have been cut down.
Inside the building is an exhibit showing plans for a bullet train that would connect Seoul and the North Korean capital and link them to Paris! There are also photo displays that detail all of the significant events that have occurred between North and South Korea between the 1940s and the present day.
Next, I headed up to the observation deck on the fourth floor, where I got a much better view of North Korea across the river. It’s a huge open area with lots of big binoculars where you can look out at the neighboring country.
Then, we headed to a military base on the border. You can’t film inside, but it was a fortified area with lots of mines. We had to hand over our passports to enter the DMZ. We were able to take photos and video in certain areas. I took some photos with the guards and filmed inside a super tight bunker. Past the bunker, we walked along the southern border where we saw some nature, some guard posts, an observation deck. Once we were done, I was given a certificate of completion that shows that I’ve been to the border of North Korea!
Next up was the DMZ Experience Zone, where we could try on army uniforms and play with some toy guns. Then, we headed to the spot where the 31 North Korean soldiers crossed into South Korea in 1968. There are statues that show what they looked like and how they crossed over!
After a 30-minute drive, we arrived at a restaurant that sells Korean duck barbecue! They cooked it right at our table. You take the duck, dip it into the sauce, and wrap it in a piece of lettuce with garlic and onion and eat it all in one huge bite!
The duck was nice and fatty and super tender. It had a really nice, smoky taste. The sauce was so good, I could eat it by itself. There were also some incredible glass noodles and delicious mushrooms.
My favorite side was the thick seaweed, but there was also some kimchi that we cooked until it became more pale. It was all so good, especially the vegetables! Every time we’d had something in Korea, it was different from the last!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me on my DMZ spy tour and barbecue duck lunch! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food videos!
