Top 8 Things to do in Hue, Vietnam
Hue is clustered around the Perfume River, which splits the capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty in two. There are endless must-see historic sites, especially those that are UNESCO World Heritage designated. Sightseeing can include the ornate Imperial Citadel, colorful Thanh Toan Bridge, royal tombs and the Forbidden Purple City. Spend a moment in quiet contemplation if you visit Hue Jungle Crevice, where thousands of citizens were pushed to their deaths.

Given the destruction wrought by the war, this is one of the few historic places to have remained largely untouched. A mix of temples, Gardens and canals that create quite a spectacular insight into past splendour. A must see when on the tour....

A serene, flower-lined walkway leads to this Nguyen Dynasty emperor’s regal tomb, which is part of a complex including a summer home and lake.

Only emperor (second last emperor in this 300+ year dynasty) that has a very nice tomb built for him.
There's admission to get in. You have to climb 200+ steps on a sometime steep staircase.
The grounds are pretty nice and once you get to the top it's a nice view from there.

On our way from Hue to Hoi An, we asked our driver to make a quick stop here for some photographs. We arrived before 9 am and there were few people here. The road getting to this bridge was quite bumpy though.
If it is on the way, it is well worth a quick stop.

We went with TNT tour company and even though the trip was a little pricey for Vietnam ($52 for two), it was great. Views are great if there are no clouds, “adventure” track is the actual rockclimbing adventure (but they offer “easy” track as well) and guides were awesome (especially Dat on our “adventure” track). If you are at least basically physically fit, you’ll make it. Bring another pair of shoes, since you are going to cross a few mountain rivers. And a swimsuit!

This former site of the old capitol has a moat and ten ornate gates guarding a palace, temples, Gardens and tombs. Its most prominent feature is a tall flag tower.

History heavy place, most of it destroyed but it doesn't impair the visit seeing how big it was. Very beautiful place

Located in front of To Mieu Temple, these huge urns date from the 1830s and are said to contain the remains of, or at least honour the memory of, the original nine Viet emperors. Ornate, impressive, photogenic.
