You *can* legally visit North Korea, but you need a visa.

There are *no* North Korean embassies in the United States - so getting a visa is difficult. However, you can fly to China (they have a NK Embassy) and get a visa there. Usually, this is requires a small bribe. 

Some companies, like 'Koryo Tours' do all the visa applications for you. North Korea has no problems letting average American Citizens spend their money on tourism there.  

The United States Government *strongly opposes* its citizens from visiting North Korea because due to our salty diplomatic relations - its citizens are fucked if they're hurt or get kidnapped. Again, its not *illegal* to visit.
