Activities are easy-paced to help you recover from travel.

Full-Day: Imperial Citadel & Forbidden Purple City

Spend the day exploring the Hue Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the Forbidden Purple City, the Royal Enclosure, and the Museum of Royal Antiquities. Learn about Nguyen Dynasty history, royal ceremonies, and ancient architecture. Afternoon free time to stroll the old quarter or relax at your hotel.

Tip: Carry water and wear a hat — parts of the Citadel are exposed to the sun.

Board a traditional wooden dragon boat for a scenic Perfume River cruise. Stop at the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda for a guided visit and enjoy panoramic riverside views. Continue to a local village to see traditional crafts and sample street food. Evening at leisure — optional cultural performance (traditional Hue music).

The cruise is typically 1–2 hours; weather may affect schedule.
