From €44.52Suspension Bridge in DMZ
The Gamaksan Suspension Bridge and the Imjingak area sit right at the edge of the DMZ on the Imjin River, a short drive from the checkpoint. Many DMZ tours from Seoul stop here for the wide gorge views, the Freedom Bridge and the memorials to families divided by the border.
Imjingak peace park is open without special permits, so it often anchors the softer, family friendly part of a DMZ tour. You will find the rusting steam locomotive from the war, the Bridge of Freedom where prisoners were exchanged, and viewpoints that look toward the North across the river.

Where do DMZ tours depart from?
Almost all DMZ tours depart from Seoul, with hotel pickup or a central meeting point near a subway station. The checkpoints are about an hour north of the city. Because the DMZ is a military area, you cannot drive in yourself, so the tour transport and guide are part of the deal. Check each listing to confirm the exact pickup arrangement.
How long is a DMZ tour?
A half day DMZ tour runs around 5 to 6 hours including transport and covers the Third Tunnel and the Dora Observatory. Full day tours run 8 to 9 hours and add Imjingak, the Suspension Bridge or a defector talk. Tours that include the Joint Security Area take a full day and depend on access being open.
Do I need my passport for a DMZ tour?
Yes. You must bring your original passport for the checkpoint, not a photo or copy. Tours that include the Joint Security Area also require you to book several days in advance and follow a dress code. Confirm the exact ID and booking rules on the operator page before you travel.
Why do DMZ tours sell out?
The DMZ can only be visited on a limited number of approved tours each day, so seats are capped. The Joint Security Area has even fewer places and opens and closes with the political situation. Booking a few days ahead, especially for the JSA and for weekends, is the safest way to get the date you want.
