Why Visit Hue
Step into a Royal Capital: Explore the vast, walled Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing the Forbidden Purple City, Thai Hoa Palace, and the Nine Dynastic Urns. Venture further to the elaborate 'cities of the dead'—the Royal Tombs like the majestic Tomb of Khai Dinh and the harmonious Tomb of Tu Duc—which are masterpieces of Feng Shui and Vietnamese architecture.
Savor Imperial Cuisine: Experience the legacy of the royal court through Hue's distinctive and artful food. Sample iconic dishes such as Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup), Banh Beo (steamed rice cakes with shrimp), and the elaborate 'com cung dinh' (royal set meals) that feature dozens of small, beautifully presented dishes once reserved for emperors.
Cruise the Perfume River: The iconic Huong River is the lifeblood of the city. A dragon boat cruise offers the classic perspective, floating past landmarks like the seven-story Thien Mu Pagoda and providing access to several tombs. For a more active experience, rent a bicycle and follow the peaceful paths along its banks.
