Best Time & Weather
The best time to visit Pyongyang is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October). During these periods, the weather is mild and the skies are generally clear, making it ideal for sightseeing. The city's many parks, especially Moran Hill, are stunning during the cherry blossom season or when the autumn leaves turn vibrant gold and red.
Currency & Money
The official currency is the North Korean Won, but tourists are expected to use hard currency—primarily Euros, Chinese Yuan, or US Dollars. Cash is the only accepted form of payment; international credit cards and ATMs do not work in the country. Tipping is not mandatory but small gifts or tips for your guides and driver are a common way to show appreciation for their service.
Getting Around
Independent travel is not permitted in North Korea. All transportation is arranged via your state-sanctioned travel agency. For this luxury itinerary, you will be provided with a private, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz or a similar high-end vehicle and a dedicated chauffeur to ensure comfort and privacy between all attractions.
