North Korea Guide

Things Not to Miss

    1 Kumsusan Memorial Palace Pay a visit to the father of the nation, who lies in state beyond a labyrinthine warren of corridors, elevators and moving walkways.

    2 Mansudae Grand Monument The largest granite tower in the world and a colossal bronze effigy of the "Great Leader" are just a few of the capital's larger-than-life sights.

    3 Pyongyang Subway Though only two stations are accessible to foreigners, most will get a kick out of the depth and design of these palaces of the proletariat.

    4 Panmunjom Get a slightly different take on the Korean crisis during a visit to the northern side of the world's most fortified frontier.
