Itinerary

  • Nine Holy Cannons

    The Nine Holy Cannons at Hue Imperial Citadel are a set of massive bronze cannons symbolizing the strength and unity of the Nguyen Dynasty. Cast in 1803, these intricately decorated cannons are considered spiritual treasures and are displayed as historical artifacts, not weapons.

    15 minutes

  • The Noon Gate (Cua Ngo Mon)

    The Ngo Mon Gate, also known as the Noon Gate, is the majestic main entrance to the Hue Imperial Citadel and a symbol of Nguyen Dynasty architecture. Built in 1833, the gate features five entrances, with the central passage reserved exclusively for the Emperor. Its upper pavilion, known as "Lau Ngu Phung" (Pavilion of Five Phoenixes), served as a platform for royal ceremonies and public addresses.

    30 minutes

  • Thai Hoa Palace

    The Thai Hoa Palace in the Hue Imperial Citadel is a masterpiece of Nguyen Dynasty architecture, symbolizing royal power and harmony. Built in 1805, it served as the ceremonial hall for important events like coronations and royal meetings. Its ornate interior, featuring intricate wooden carvings and golden lacquer, reflects the grandeur of imperial Vietnam.

    30 minutes

  • The Mieu Temple

    The The To Mieu Temple in the Hue Imperial Citadel is a sacred site dedicated to the worship of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors. Built in 1821 during the reign of Emperor Minh Mang, the temple features a harmonious layout with nine urns representing the dynasty's strength and continuity. Its serene atmosphere and historical significance make it a profound reminder of Vietnam's imperial heritage.

    30 minutes

  • Hue Royal Palace

    The Kien Trung Palace in the Hue Imperial Citadel was a blend of traditional Vietnamese and French colonial architecture, reflecting the cultural exchange during the Nguyen Dynasty. Originally built in 1921, it served as a residence for Emperor Khai Dinh and later Emperor Bao Dai, Vietnam’s last emperor. Although heavily damaged during wartime, restoration efforts aim to revive its historical and architectural significance.

    20 minutes

  • Duyet Thi Duong Theater

    The Hue Royal Theater (Duyet Thi Duong) is the oldest surviving traditional theater in Vietnam, located within the Hue Imperial Citadel. Built in 1826 under Emperor Minh Mang, it was a venue for royal performances, showcasing classical Vietnamese court music and drama.

Imperial citadel Hue

Published on Jul, 2024

Our tour guide was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and friendly, and provided us with the best sights and avoided the crowds. She was soulful and had a wonderful grasp of English I would definitely encourage people to book this tour

Lots to look at!

Published on Apr, 2024

Definitely a site worth seeing in Hue. Our guide Ha was very knowledgeable about the history. She was even patient with me when I was attempting to speak Vietnamese. Morning is best as it can get quite warm.

The best way to see the imperial city

Published on Aug, 2023

Informative and entertaining private tour led by Tuan. He has amazing knowledge of ancient and modern Hue and is passionate about his city. We could not have asked for a better guide!

Flexible private tour

Published on Mar, 2023

We had a perfect day in Hue doing a private tour. Easy communication and booking, payment was simple, no problem to modify the tour to suit our “list”and adventure requirements. Thuy, My and the driver were all professional, funny and thoughtful. Car was so clean and great safe driving, free water provided. The day flowed effortlessly with tour history and general chats about life in Vietnam. The guide My had perfect English and even got our kiwi jokes. Lovely lunch stop. Attention to detail and service was perfect. I will be recommending them to all my friends.

A great day out

Published on Mar, 2023

One of the best private tours I have been on, laid back but professional and you are able to ask many questions that normally you cannot when part of a large group. Our guide My was a great conversationalist with excellent english and a good sense of humour. Recommended this highly
