I totally felt in love with Hue. The two days we spent there were just perfect. The city and the surroundings are so beautiful, the weather was amazing, the staff from the hotel were super nice to us, and it was probably the cheapest place we visited.
We took the overnight train from Hanoi to Hue, and arrived there around noon. After a quick lunch in a restaurant next to the Perfume River, we went to visit the Citadel, starting with the Forbidden City.

Nowadays, little of the Forbidden City remains, since it was heavily bombed during the war. But anyways, it’s worth visiting. Some of the buildings have been totally restored, but for me, it was the ruins left what gaves to the place a magic environment.
Ngo Mon – Midday Gate.
Dien Thai Hoa – Palace of Supreme Harmony
After visiting the Forbidden City we had a refreshment in this super old bar run by an adorable grandpa.
And we continued exploring the Citadel for the rest of the afternoon.
