North Korea lifts restrictions on U.S. tourists

by in Uncategorized


Good news for any Americans looking to visit North Korea this year – the North Koreans have lifted restrictions on U.S. tourists. Like visitors from other Western countries, American tourists can now visit North Korea any time of the year, are no longer limited to visits of five days, and can take the train back to China for the return trip rather than fly Air Koryo. If you are interested in traveling there, get in contact with the guys over at Koryo Tours.

  1. From toujoursdan:

    Thanks so much for sharing your trip to North Korea. I’m going on the Koryo’s 6 day late August Tour, with the Arirang Mass Games.

    Your blog has been invaluable in helping me know what to look for and what to expect.
