Nestled on the banks of the Perfume River, Hue’s Imperial City is a testament to Vietnam’s rich history and the grandeur of the Nguyen Dynasty. Once the political, cultural, and spiritual heart of the nation, this UNESCO World Heritage Site invites visitors to step back in time and explore a world of ornate palaces, ancient temples, and tranquil gardens.
As you wander through its mighty walls and intricate corridors, you’ll uncover stories of emperors, court life, and traditions that shaped the Vietnam we know today.
It can get quite busy, especially around Tet, but don’t worry, it’s a big area with plenty to see.
