I loved the architecture and gardens. To fully appreciate though, you need a guide to explain, point out symbols, the differences in the buildings, etc. There is quite a bit of walking, in the heat. I saw some people on little trains. If you have mobility problems, you may need to ask tour organisers if there are options if you... More

Wander around and just enjoy the peace and beauty of the place, it's good to have a guide who can explain all the details of the life inside in the past...

It's one of those 'must do' places in Hue, and for a good reason. You don't realise just how large it is until you are there. A lot of the original buildings are gone, or derelict.

The massive old Imperial city covers a large part Hue on the North bank of the Perfume River. We arrived early to beat the crowds and the mid day heat. We hired a private guide which I highly recommend. She guided us thru the massive complex detailing the history and use of various parts of the Citadel. The fortress was... More

Good video at the Thai Hoa palace and a few art exhibits from local artists are hanging but not much else going on there. This site was once majestic but in the war much of it was reduced to rubble.
