Detailed itinerary
A Sovaba Travel vehicle will pick you up at the designated meeting point and depart for Hue. Along the way, you will enjoy scenic views of Central Vietnam with its vibrant green fields and rolling hills.
Upon arriving in Hue, the tour guide will take you to visit the Imperial City. Featuring refined architecture, the Imperial City is enclosed by a formidable system of citadel walls. Inside, you will discover remarkable structures such as the Palace of Supreme Harmony (Dien Thai Hoa), where coronations and imperial ceremonies were held, along with areas such as the Purple Forbidden City, once the residence of the royal family. The unique murals and motifs adorning the complex reflect the extraordinary artistic talent of ancient Vietnamese craftsmen.
The Imperial City is not merely a historical destination, but also a sanctuary of profound cultural value that leaves visitors astonished by both its architectural splendor and the enduring spirit of an illustrious era. Touring the Imperial City feels like stepping back into the past, where tales of emperors, royal palaces, and cultural heritage come alive in your mind.
Stop at a renowned local restaurant to savor Hue cuisine. You will get to sample famous culinary specialties such as Hue spicy beef noodle soup, baby clam rice, and steamed water fern rice cakes—dishes that deeply reflect the distinctive culinary heritage of this imperial land.
Our vehicle and tour guide will escort you to Thien Mu Pagoda, home to the towering Phuoc Duyen Tower rising gracefully amidst peaceful surroundings.
As the temple bell tolls, you will feel an extraordinary sense of tranquility. Take time to admire the Buddhist statues and listen to the rich history behind this sacred pagoda.
Standing beside the banks of the Perfume River, you can take in the poetic scenery, where the gentle river waters wash away all worldly cares.
Continuing the journey, you will arrive at Khai Dinh Tomb—one of the most celebrated royal mausoleums of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors.
Distinguished by its one-of-a-kind architecture blending classical Vietnamese and modern Western styles, the tomb will leave you in awe with its elaborate decorative details. Every staircase, relief, and mosaic piece conveys a sense of grandeur and artistry.
Next, you will visit Thuy Xuan Incense Village, renowned for its time-honored traditional craft of making incense. Here, you can rent traditional royal attire and take memorable Hue-inspired photos.
