88 Reasons to visit North Korea - DPRK Explicit
88 Reasons to visit North Korea – DPRK Explicit

People often point out reasons to dislike North Korea. Personally I only travel to enjoy places and things such as colors, people, little details, architecture, sounds, tastes, sunsets, smiles, etc.

Because I never travel to dislike or criticize, on this page I will show you 88 images – photos – reasons that made me like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The city of Pyongyang has hundreds of monuments and memorial murals. The mural of the Workers Party Monument if very nice
The city of Pyongyang has hundreds of monuments and memorial murals. Photo of the Workers Party Monument.

Whatever reasons you might have to criticize DPRK, I invite you to indulge yourself to discover one of the least visited countries in the world.

DPRK is indeed a fascinating destination with a very beautiful culture and ancient history. I hope to come back once again soon. You can visit North Korea on a budget with the help of diverse tour operators that frequently offer quite interesting itineraries.


Small video I made of some friendly DPRK soldiers happily dancing while they relax off-duty

Also read my page: Visit Pyongyang – A different look at North Korea’s capital.

NOTE: this page is not politically biased nor am I writing on behalf of someone or any government. This page is about DPRK traveling and tourism. The reasons why I enjoyed my time in North Korea are immense – the same way I have many reasons to enjoy all the other more than 120 countries I have visited.


What does North Korea look like?

Upper view over Downtown Pyongyang
Upper view over Downtown Pyongyang

DPRK cities were heavily bombed and turned to rubble by the US during the Korean War. Most of the infrastructure in the country is built in a socialist Soviet architecture style, also called as Socialist Classicism or Stalinist architecture.

Some buildings were done in Korean architecture style as well. As in many countries in the world, cities are more developed than countryside villages. In the mountains many wooden Buddhist monasteries survived the war.

In terms of present development, and in my modest opinion, DPRK resembles a mix of many countries in Central Asia like Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, or, it even gives you a glimpse of how some socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe such as Poland, Russia and Moldova used to be many years ago.
