Hue was the royal capital of Vietnam in 1802. It is well-known for its one-of-a-kind and oldest system of mausoleums and palatial architectures, both of which still exist in Vietnam. The Complex of Hue Monuments, in particular, was recognized a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.

8:00 AM or 1:30 PM: Our private car and tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Hue city center and begin your Hue City Tour Half Day.

Then proceed through some streets to Hue Imperial Citadel, which was the home of Vietnam’s last royal dynasty, the Nguyen Dynasty. It was once a massive complex filled with all the executive and bureaucracy you’d expect from a country’s capital. This is without a doubt the most massive architectural structure in Vietnam during the late modern period.  We will admire the spectacular views and stunning architecture of the Citadel, Hue Royal City, and the Forbidden City. When you visit the Imperial Citadel, you will have the opportunity to see many well-preserved relics that represent a part of Vietnamese history.

Following that, we’ll go to the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, which houses a collection of Nguyen dynasty ornaments. This Royal Antiquities Museum, one of Vietnam’s first museums, was built in 1923. It is an opening exhibition space with a wide range of one-of-a-kind and historically significant items and antiquities that are strongly drawn to royal lifestyle and traditional Vietnamese culture.

Continue your journey by visiting Thien Mu Pagoda – Heaven Fairy Lady Pagoda. It is a beautiful temple complex built in 1601 by Nguyen Hoang, the first founder of the Nguyen Family in Central Vietnam. Our guide will tell you about the unique architecture, Fengshui setting, and interesting Love Curse and old stories of this fairy pagoda. Don’t miss Phuoc Duyen Tower, a well-known symbolic link between Thien Mu Pagoda and Hue City. The 21-meter-tall tower has an octagonal shape and seven storeys. Each level has Buddha worship, with the top floor housing a golden Buddha statue. Aside from Phuoc Duyen Tower, Dai Hung Palace is one of Thien Mu Pagoda’s two main structures. The main palace of Thien Mu pagoda, Dai Hung, has magnificent architecture. There are 12 massive wooden sculptures of fearsome temple guardians with real facial hair near the entrance gate.

Last but not least, we’ll visit Dong Ba Market – Hue City’s largest and oldest market. Dong Ba Market, which occupies a 16,000-square-meter area along the northern bank of the Perfume River, is a great place to learn about Vietnamese culture and Hue local life. The market has all of the most unique cultural gifts and souvenirs in Vietnam including household items, handicrafts, clothing, and local specialties. Furthermore, exploring Dong Ba Market Hue is an interesting place to hone your bargaining skills.
