Capital of Willows

Built from the ground up after the Korean War, Pyongyang impresses with its Soviet-era buildings and monuments to modern leadership.
Pyongyang is known for museums, historic sites, and nightlife. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: don't miss a visit to Kim Il-sung Square, brush up on your military savvy at Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, pause for some photo ops at Triumphal Arch, and admire the striking features of Workers' Party Foundation Monument.

You can plan Pyongyang trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.

Riga, Latvia to Pyongyang is an approximately 22-hour flight. The time zone changes from Eastern European Standard Time (EET) to Pyongyang Time (KST), which is usually a 7 hour difference. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 22nd (Thu) early enough to travel back home.

Probably the world's most reclusive country, North Korea remains off the radar for most tourists. The few travelers who realize it's actually possible to take a trip to North Korea end up exploring only a small part of the country, accompanied at all times by official government guides. Isolated from the rest of the world, this communist state exists outside the realm of the 21st century, playing by its own rules and living in the shadow of its hereditary rulers' powerful personalities. If you do choose to spend your vacation in North Korea, prepare to discover a place quite unlike any other in the world--where the surprises may in turn delight and unsettle.
