Achieve your travel goals with this list of beautiful destinations, things to do, best places to visit, Hue tourist spots, attractions & more. Hue is the capital city of Thừa Thiên Huế province in Central Vietnam. It was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty until 1945 and as such, features an array of historical sites, like palaces and shrines and fortresses. Hue’s top attraction is the 19th-century Đại Nội Citadel, encompassing the Forbidden City and the Imperial City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Apart from war sites, you may also enjoy exploring Hue’s imperial tombs, palaces, and pagodas and uncovering their beauties. For nature lovers, you may want to walk along the promenade or hop on a paddleboat at Perfume River and take all the scenic views in. Hue is accessible from other cities in the country and all over Asia. Phu Bai International Airport serves a network of domestic and international connections to help develop Hue and the entire province as the next tourism destination in the country.
