The tour begins at Imjingak Park where you will find many historic monuments dedicated to the Korean War. See the Freedom Bridge which the prisoners of war/soldiers used to return from the north.
Pass by the Unification Village
Upon arrival at the DMZ Theater and Exhibition Hall, get to watch the 15-minute AVP about the Korean War and DMZ.

Visit one of the infiltration tunnels discovered below the Korean border, believed to have been dug by North Korean forces for the purposes of invasion. See the barricades built by the South Korean military near the demarcation line. Please note that taking photos is not permitted in the tunnel.

Located on top of Dorasan Station, the 304-square feet Dora Observatory offers a rare glimpse of the reclusive North Korean territory through binoculars. Then, visit Dorasan Station which used to connect North and South Korea. It now functions as a terminal for a commuter train line.
