The second-largest stadium in the world, with a total capacity of 114,000. The site occupies an area of 20.7 hectares (51 acres).
Opened in October 2013, this is a large water park complex with lots of water slides. Open to foreigners on Saturdays.
This small amusement park has a handful of new rides. You and your guides can't just wander around as you'll need a guide from the park to take you to each ride, but you will be put at the front of the queue for each one. The guide will keep track of the rides you go on and then you pay according to how many rides you went on at the end of your visit.
Contains the bodies of President Kim Il-sung and his son Kim Jong-il, who have been designated as eternal leaders of the country.
The arch was designed to commemorate Korean resistance to Japan between 1925 and 1945 and eventual liberation from Japanese rule. The arch is modeled on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. At 60 m high and 50 m wide it is the biggest victory arch in the world.
This centre houses two floors worth of flowers named after Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung. Kimilsungia flower shows are held every year in Pyongyang. Traditionally, embassies of foreign countries in North Korea each present their own bouquet of the flower to the annual exhibition.
