You will take part in a full-day excursion in Spanish through Hue to discover its imperial past through the Citadel, the royal tombs, and a journey along the Perfume River. Throughout the experience, you will move at a calm and well-paced rhythm, accompanied by a Spanish-speaking guide who will help you understand the history and cultural importance of what was once the most significant imperial city in Vietnam.
The day will begin with pick-up from your accommodation in central Hue and transfer to the Imperial Citadel. Once inside, you will walk through the main areas of the complex, passing through the Imperial City and the Forbidden City, and discovering highlights such as the To Mieu Temple, the Dien Tho and Thai Hoa Palaces, the Hien Lam Pavilion, the Nine Dynastic Urns, the Noon Gate, the Pavilion of the Five Phoenixes, the Royal Theater, and the Royal Library.
After visiting the monumental complex, you will enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant, with dishes characteristic of the province of Thừa Thiên-Huế. This moment will allow you to take a break and continue the excursion with a closer perspective on the regional cuisine.
In the afternoon, you will visit the imperial tomb of Minh Mang, known for its decorative architecture and lakes, while learning more about the Nguyen dynasty and the rituals linked to the imperial period. Afterwards, you will sail on a traditional boat along the Perfume River to reach Thien Mu Pagoda, also called the Pagoda of the Celestial Lady, one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the country and a symbol of Hue, before returning to the pier and heading back to your hotel by private vehicle.
