Step into the Demilitarized Zone and experience one of the world's most heavily fortified borders, where you can literally stand on the line between two countries still technically at war. The Joint Security Area at Panmunjom offers guided tours where you can enter buildings that straddle the border, with strict protocols and dramatic tension palpable in the air. Book through approved tour operators as individual access isn't permitted.
