Attraction
Panmunjeom (Joint Security Area)
판문점
Gyeonggi
Panmunjeom is the site of the Armistice Agreement that signaled the ceasefire of the Korean War (1950-1953) and is located in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), just 50 kilometers north of Seoul. It remains a venue for talks between South Korea and North Korea, allowing visitors to observe North Korean troops up close. Since it is a civilian-controlled area, individual tours are not permitted; they must be arranged in advance through a tour operator designated by the United Nations Command. Visitors must bring valid identification, such as a passport or alien registration card.
