Hue - The ancient capital city of Vietnam

Huế is a historic city in central Vietnam, known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient architecture, and significance as the former imperial capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty (1802–1945). Located on the banks of the Perfume River, Huế is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit destination for those interested in Vietnam’s royal history, traditional culture, and scenic beauty.

Top Activities

Imperial City

The Imperial City is the centerpiece of Huế and a vast walled complex that served as the political, cultural, and religious center of the Nguyễn Dynasty. It includes palaces, temples, gardens, and residences.

Inside the Citadel is the Forbidden Purple City, a section that was once reserved exclusively for the royal family. Though parts of the complex were damaged during wars, many structures have been restored.

This is one of the most elaborate and artistic royal tombs, blending traditional Vietnamese architecture with European elements.

One of the oldest and most iconic pagodas in Vietnam, Thien Mu Pagoda stands on a hill overlooking the Perfume River. The seven-story tower is a symbol of Huế and an important site for Buddhist worship. Visitors often enjoy its serene setting and historical significance.

The Perfume River flows through the city and is an integral part of Huế’s charm. Boat tours along the river provide scenic views of the city’s landscape and access to various historic sites, including pagodas and royal tombs.
