DMZ Tour From Seoul: 5 Stops, Passport Rules, JSA Status

20240602 110854 Dora Observatory, Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), South Korea 01 (dmz tour from seoul)

A DMZ tour from Seoul is about a 1-hour drive north and needs your passport, booked days ahead. Most tours visit 4 to 5 stops in the Paju area: Imjingak park, the Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory and Dorasan Station. The Joint Security Area (JSA) at Panmunjom, where North and South Korean soldiers stood face to face, is a separate and much harder booking that has been suspended for long stretches.
