North Korea
Asia
North Korea is the world's most isolated and enigmatic country — a destination that fascinates travellers precisely because so little is known about it. Carefully guided tours reveal a land of grand monuments, immaculate parks, mass games spectacles, and glimpses of daily life in a society unlike any other. Pyongyang's grand Soviet-style boulevards, the DMZ, and ancient Koguryo tombs offer a truly extraordinary experience.
