Discover North Korea

North Korea (DPRK) is one of the world's most isolated and secretive nations, offering a travel experience unlike any other. Tourism is strictly controlled by the state, and visitors must be accompanied by government-sanctioned guides at all times. It is a land of massive monuments, profound political history, and stark ideological contrasts.

Safety & Scams
Tourism is strictly regulated; laws are extremely harsh and any perceived disrespect toward the leadership or government can lead to long-term detention or hard labor; follow your guides' instructions without question; never bring religious materials or politically sensitive books; photography is strictly controlled; the country is virtually free of petty crime but politically highly high-risk; healthcare is extremely limited for foreigners outside Pyongyang; consular protection is non-existent for many nations.
Getting Around
Travel is exclusively via pre-arranged government tours; the Pyongyang Metro is iconic and deep-seated; domestic travel is via tour buses; internal flights (Air Koryo) are occasional; individual travel is prohibited.

Show absolute respect toward the leaders' statues and portraits; always bow when instructed; never fold an image of a leader; keep your voice down in public; do not question the political system or leadership during conversations.
Internet & Connectivity
