HUE FULL DAY CITY TOUR

PROGRAM

Set out from your hotel in Hue with a private vehicle and local guide. The exploration of Hue starts with the walking tour in the Imperial City, the seat of the Nguyen monarchs throughout the dynastic reign from 1802 to 1945. You will see the most important highlights of the complex including the Flag Tower, the Holy Cannons, the Gate of Ngo Mon, the Throne Hall, the Dynastic Urns. Outside the imperial walls, you will visit Dong Ba market, the largest and busiest market in Hue, perching right on the bank of Hue River. Browse through the arrays of shops and take in all the sights and sounds of the local daily life.

After lunch, continue the day with a relaxing boat trip. The motorized dragon boat cruises along Hue River until reaching the waterfront steps of Thien Mu Pagoda. End the boat trip and walk up to visit the pagoda. Beside a nice view over the river and the old Phuoc Duyen Tower, the pagoda keeps on display the old Austin car used by bonze Thich Quang Duc whose immolation had become a famous wartime photo. Continue the exploration of the city’s heritage by visiting the mausoleum of Emperor Ming Mang, the powerful monarch who ruled from 1820-1840. His mausoleum is a stunning complex which gives an insight of Vietnamese art and architecture. Drive back to the city center and finish the tour at your hotel.
