From outside it really look stunning, but inside few buildings survive the war and neglecting. Anyway the remaining gates and shrines are just breathtaking.

The principle reason you visit Hue is to come to this magnificent site. Everything you'd expect from a special world heritage site . Vast, beautiful, and amazing to the imagination given its age

Beware that if you buy the full ticket of 360K that the tombs are about 5 to 9 kilometers away from the citadel. We bought combo ticket but had no time to go to tombes . Citadel is very beautiful!

It was extremely hot, but there were spots where there was a good breeze. Definitely worth visiting even though you might be uncomfortable. The orchids and landscaping is beautiful.

The former Imperial residence of the Vietnamese emperors. It resembles the forbidden city of Beijing .

Must see, but not actually as good as Tu Doc tomb or some temples out of the city

If you can, go with a local or a guide. There's so much here to see and understand, if lucky you'll see the elephants. The bullet holes in the walls are a stark reminder of Vietnam 's past.

Very interesting site, don’t miss the collection of historical pictures in the long corridor. Plan 2 to 3 hours for a full visit.

It's large area with many things to visit. Making sure that water bottles and umbrella are brought with you. Visit HoiAn's best service hotel at: http://www.kimanhoianhotel.com/ Read more

Good historical place, not too crowded but i think the entrance fee is a little bit expensive ! 150k VND per person

Well worth the 200dong entryfee, but plan to spend quite some time to explore. Sunscreen , sunhat, umbrella and water makes the heat more bearable

Great place, you're gonna take a lot of beautiful pictures! Have many spots where you can really enjoy silence

You should spare a whole day to wander about this site. The contrast between restored and destroyed objects is somewhat disturbingly beautiful.

One of the highlights if you are visiting Vietnam !

Awesome place to visit. Don't miss it!

Due to time constraints we took a tuk tuk ride. We agreed a price at start but when we finished the rider tried to double price. Watch for this and stick firm to what was agreed.

The Imperial City was amazing. Too bad the war nearly destroyed everything. But what's left is definitely worth seeing.

It looks majestic from the outside, but it’s not the same inside. It seems it suffered a lot during the war.

Cafeteria is after the Thai Hoa Hall on the left with free Wifi : theonetheone

Must do in hue, 150k vnd entrance fees.

Plan your visit on early morning, otherwise humidity and temperature make Your tour unexpectable short 4/2012

After entrance go left for the most interesting part

150k Dongs completely worth it for this Unesco world heritage place????

Still undergoing restoration but still very impressive and interesting

Don't bail on the one room with all the written information - it's quite interesting really!

In rainy day, Hue will show you her real smile.

Allocate more time to over this area. Closes at 530pm.

An very important place to visit. It's royal charm remains. Learning about the former royal court is a Hue highlight. Despite being bombed heavily, there are some well preserved and intact sections.

To see the best buildings when you enter the main gate head to the left and not straight ahead like everyone else.

Awesome!. No words to describe the magnificence of this imperial city

Did not miss it in the imperial city !

Make sure you get to the National Theatre building, impressive even when not in performance season.

For a change, you can tour the left side of the Citadel on top of an elephant!

Not so impressive comparing to others, but still nice to see and be at.

Impressive due to its huge scale. But most of the buildings did not really do much for me though.

On the way out hop into a cyclo and take it along Perfume River to the market .

Take 2 hrs for this trrip

Small and unsuccessful copy of "Forbidden City " in Beijing.

Morning or evening preferable

Simply marvelous!

Enter via the exit for a free experience ( did it by accident)
