Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the country’s most beautiful city. Located on the banks of the well-known Perfume River in central Vietnam, Hue City is famous for vestiges of its royal past such as the Forbidden Purple City, impressive royal tombs, and beautiful Buddhist temples.
A sightseeing tour in Hue takes in the vestiges of its royal history, including a visit to the tombs of 19th and 20th emperors, a pedal-powered cyclo ride to explore Hue’s Citadel – which housed the Imperial City for the emperors’ official functions, and the Forbidden Purple City for their personal time. Also take a dragon boat to cruise along the Perfume River, enjoy the peaceful scenery of the city and visit the famous Thien Mu Pagoda on the way.
