Pyongyang The city’s capital owes its tribute to Kim Il Sung on nearly every corner, the main square, the university and the stadium are named after him. His live and sometimes larger-than-life figure haunts your stay in North Korea and especially in Pyongyang. To get an impression of the old Korea try to see the Taedong and the Potong Gate. To relax go to Moranbong Park or to the more disney-like Taesongsan recreation ground with a monorail, a rollercoaster and candy floss. In Pyongyang you will find the greatest choice of hotels and restaurants of the whole country, but even this is not too large. Eating out has to be arranged by your guide, as well as any other activity or visit. If you want to go out in the evening you should try to see a revolutionary opera at the Mansudae theatre. There are good circuses and musical recitals too. For accommodation there are three hotels for foreign visitors, but you have to ask the governmental travel bureau where to stay. Normally all rooms have private baths and hotels normally have good laundry facilities.
