Pyongyang, the capital of DPRK (or North Korea) is a place that is a bit hard to reach, but if you want to explore the city, this guide will help you plan your trip.

Best Travel Experiences in Pyongyang

Travelling in Pyongyang is an experience unlike any other. In a city that is home to the world's most secretive regime, you'll find yourself surrounded by people who live by strict rules and regulations. That being said, if you're looking to immerse yourself in the culture of North Korea and experience a unique perspective on what life in the country would be like, travelling through Pyongyang is an excellent choice.

While you travel with our Pyongyang Tour Packages, you'll get to see a myriad of things: from horse-drawn carriages to bicycles, from people wearing traditional dresses to people wearing modern clothes, and so on. You'll also notice that everything seems to operate on a system with very specific rules, even down to how much water can be used for washing your dishes or taking a bath!
