Begin the tour with a pickup in Central Seoul and travel to Imjingak Park. Upon arrival at Imjingak Park, see the Freedom Bridge and the old steam locomotive, which shows the tragedy of the Korean War.

Highly recommended as Anna Jin told us all the curiosities & story in general related with North/South Korea, the war and the DMZ itself. Plus points for other recommendations (where to buy souvenirs/ beauty products) and very nice as well.
