Only thousand visitors per day can enter the world’s most isolated country

Slide 1 of 2: North Korea is a really special place on earth and is nothing like you have ever seen or experienced before. Often described as one of the most mysterious and undesirable destinations in the world due to its conservative nature, the country still attracts thousands of visitors each year. To visit the country tourists must book a guided tour from the Ministry of Tourism. Travelling alone or without a guide is strictly forbidden by the law. Without your local guide present, you won't be able to go sightseeing, using public transportation or even leaving your hotel building.

Slide 2 of 2: Guided tours obviously don't show the complete picture of North Korea. Government approved guides are following you for the entire time of your tour, making sure the tour presents North Korea in a positive light. During these tours, unfortunately, you don't get an insight to how local people actually live because the whole tour is highly choreographed.
