On day four you can expect to see the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) - the heaviest militarized zone in the world and the iconic demarcation line between North and South Korea. You will even have a North Korean army soldier there with you to explain the rich history of the area! This is all before catching a ride on the Pyongyang metro, adorned with propaganda posters and gold statues of the North Korean leaders.
