Browse Hotels in Paju-si →Paju-si, a city nestled at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea, offers an unparalleled glimpse into the country's tumultuous past. The DMZ itself is a must-visit attraction, a 2.5-mile-wide buffer zone that showcases the remnants of the 1950-53 Korean War. Visitors are especially drawn to the Third Tunnel, a network of underground passageways discovered in 1978 that demonstrate North Korea's covert tunnel-building activities. The best time to visit Paju-si is from October to November or March to May, when the weather is mild and comfortable for exploring the DMZ. For first-timers, it's essential to purchase tickets in advance for guided tours of the DMZ, as entry is strictly controlled and limited to designated groups.
