Discover Pyongyang
One thing to see in Pyongyang is Kim Il-sung Square, a grandiose plaza which can hold up to 100,000 people during parades. Here visitors can view the iconic bronze statues of North Korean leaders Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. Another sight worth seeing is the Juche Tower, which rises 170m above sea level and offers panoramic views over the city from its top floor observation deck.
In addition to its impressive sights, Pyongyang also provides an interesting experience for those wanting to learn more about local culture and history. Visitors can explore some of the city's museums such as Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery or have a meal with locals at one of Pyongyang's restaurants or cafes. There are also opportunities for guided tours where you can meet some locals and even stop off at places such as Panmunjom on the edge of the DMZ between North & South Korea .
