About Pyongyang

Pyongyang is a highly restricted and tightly controlled city, so it’s generally **not suitable for digital nomads** 🚫💻. Internet access is heavily limited, foreign movement is monitored, and remote work infrastructure is extremely poor. While it offers a rare look at North Korea’s capital, it’s best viewed as a short-stay destination, not a base for working online.
