Start the cultural integration with a 10-min cycle tour from your hotel to the Imperial Citadel. Take a stroll to explore the history and architecture around the Capital Citadel (the bastion), Royal Citadel (the sanctum), and the Forbidden Citadel (the royal family’s residence). From there, a 20-min cycle ride will take you to the boat docking station, where you will embark on a half-hour boat trip on the picturesque Perfume River to visit Thien Mu pagoda, Hue’s best-preserved religious monument. Standing on the riverbank with its seven-storey tower, the pagoda is a sight to behold. After enjoying royal Hue cuisine at the Ancient Hue Restaurant, drive out 30 minutes to the serene Tu Duc Royal Tomb, designed to blend in with the natural surroundings. An incense stick making house makes for an interesting stop before heading to the elaborate Khai Dinh Royal Tomb, architecture and atmosphere showcase elements of eastern art and western designs.
