Once Vietnam’s imperial capital and seat of the Nguyen dynasty (1802–1945), Hue is one of the country’s most important cultural and historical destinations. Its heritage is reflected in the UNESCO-listed Citadel, the former Forbidden Purple City and the magnificent Imperial Tombs scattered along the Perfume River. Explore the historic Thien Mu Pagoda, or take a leisurely boat trip along the river to admire the city’s sights. Beyond Hue, beautiful white-sand beaches offer the chance to combine sightseeing with relaxation. Don’t miss Dong Ba Market for local food, handicrafts and souvenirs, while the city’s restaurants serve both regional and international cuisine.
