Because it is the only divided country in the world, there are travel options available. It is Dorasan security tour that goes to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) by taking the peace train DMZ (DMZ-train). The DMZ, which is set to be 2km north and south of the Military Demarcation Line, and 4km in total, is originally an area where civilians are not allowed to enter. It is compulsory to bring an ID, and foreigners prepare a passport. The tour departs from Yongsan Station on Wednesdays and Sundays at 10:08 am, tours the civilian control zone and the DMZ, and returns to Yongsan Station at 5:54 pm. It is a special experience for both Koreans and foreigners to see the northern land right in front of their nose in just two hours from Seoul. When you return from the tour, it is the time when darkness covers the city center. At this time, if you go to Seoullo 7017, you can enjoy a romantic night view. The Seoul Station Overpass, built in 1970, was reborn in 2017 as a pedestrian path with rest areas and convenient facilities. Namdaemun Market, which has a variety of foods, the War Memorial of Korea and the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan are also popular courses. All of them are close to the subway station and easy to get to.
