Hue City Tour

The Hue City Tour includes the Citadel, 3 tombs (Tu Duc, Khai Dink & Minh Mang),a garden house and a Perfume River cruise stopping for a look-see at Thien Mu Pagoda, from thence a short ride to the Tourist Boat docks where the tour terminates.

The Entrance cost for citadel and tombs are extra. My favorite tomb is last one / Tu Duc. Tomb of Tu Duc was Constructed from 1864 to 1867, and the complex served as a second Imperial City where the Emperor went for "working vacations". Tu Duc has a contemplative nature and poetic spirit reflected in the landscape. The Emperor's tomb is tucked away in the back with just a stone coffin in the middle.
