The seat of the Nguyen emperors was in the Citadel, which occupies a large, walled area on the north side of the perfume river. Inside the citadel was a forbidden city where only the concubines, emperors, and those close enough to them were granted access. Today, little of the Forbidden City remains, though reconstruction efforts are in progress to maintain it as a tourist attraction as a view of the history of Huế.

Itinerary in details

Day 1: visiting the Citadel and Tombs (L/D)
8h00 am: our bus and guide will pick you up visit the citadel and royal palace of the Nguyen Dynasty (1800-1945), where you will see the impressive Ngo Mon Gate, the emperor's reception hall, houses for the royal library and the Queen Mother, and the famous dynastic urns.

Day 2: Boat trip on Perfume River (B/L/)
The best way to appreciate the Perfume River is by boat. The first stop is Thien Mu Pagoda, which was dedicated by the Nguyen lords to a mysterious "holy lady" who predicted that they would become rulers of this land.
If you would like, we can take you to the tomb of the first emperor, Gia Long, which is rarely visited by tourists because it is the furthest from the city. Though the temple to Gia Long is modest in scale, the natural setting is one of the most remote and peaceful spots in all of Vietnam. On the way back, the boat will let you off at the tomb of the second emperor, Minh Mang, which is considered one of the most beautiful and best-preserved of the monuments of Hue.
