A 170 m tall monument is dedicated to the Juche philosophy of Kim Il Sung. Don't miss the trip to the top, which costs €5 and offers a great view of the city (though, if you're staying at the Yanggakdo, the view from a top floor is similar and free).
The Juche Tower, completed in 1982, is a 170-metre (560 ft) monument in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. The monument is named after the ideology of Juche introduced by North Korea's first leader, Kim Il Sung.
