The most closed city in the world

Pyongyang is called the most closed city in the world because it is only accessible under strict control of the North Korean authorities.

The few tourists who arrive are accompanied by guides who are forbidden to deviate from the pre-approved route.

And locals are forbidden, and they have almost no contact with foreigners.

From the height you can see how the city reflects the ideology: the streets of Pyongyang surprise with strict symmetry, neat residential neighborhoods.

Here, every house is painted in pastel colors, and car traffic on the streets is minimal.

A fact that amazes many: against the background of all the monumentality in the city, there is not a single advertising billboard.

Instead of advertising, posters with portraits of leaders and national values hang everywhere.
