Activity itinerary

Stage of Flag

At the start of the tour, the towering Stage of Flag, the patrol deck guarding the southern side of the citadel, warmly welcomes you to come inside and admire the magnificence of the imperial city.

Nine Holy Cannons

25m
Admission ticket included

Then, pass through the spacious Ngo Mon Square and the century-old Mai Vang Garden, between which lies the display of the Nine Holy Cannons. The masterpieces of ancient military engineering offer a glimpse into the incredible craftsmanship and defensive power of the Nguyen dynasty.

Meridian Gate

25m
Admission ticket included

Continue to cross the external moat adorned with beautiful fragrant lotuses, the symbolic flower of Vietnam, and marvel at the majestic Meridian Gate. The grand main entrance of the Forbidden City was the silent witness of the vicissitudes of Vietnam’s history, including the historic abdication of the last king Bao Dai.

Thai Hoa Palace

30m
Admission ticket included

Setting foot inside the citadel, your eyes will be captivated by the splendor of Thai Hoa Palace. Hosting discussion between kings and important mandarins, the architectural treasure showcases all the beauty of Vietnamese traditional style: ingenious carpentry, goldsmithing, and sculpture with the highlight of all being the ornate gilded throne.

Dien Tho Palace

30m
Admission ticket included

Next, delve into Vietnam’s traditional religious and spiritual life at Dien Tho Palace. Built as the residence for kings’ mothers, the gorgeous complex consisting of elegant buildings, scenic pavilions, landscaped gardens, and a Buddhist chapel reflects the deep-seated tradition of valuing filial duties of Vietnamese.

Can Chanh Palace

30m
Admission ticket included

Proceed to visit the second-most important building in the Forbidden City, Can Chanh Palace. Devastated during the French war, the office of Nguyen kings where important emissary receptions and banquets were held is an outstanding example of historical restoration.

Thai Binh Pavilion

20m
Admission ticket included

To the left of the palace nestles the only intact monument during wartime, the Thai Binh Pavilion. Flanked by the picturesque Thieu Phuong Garden, the royal library sets itself apart from the surrounding ornate structures with its tranquility and a refreshing touch of nature.

Duyet Thi Duong Royal Theater (Pass by)

Right opposite the slender library building is the Royal Theater. Contrary to its simplistic appearance, the theater hides inside an enchanting world of traditional performances and theatrical architecture.

Kiến Trung Palace

20m
Admission ticket included

Go on to visit the striking Kien Trung Palace on the north side of the complex. The residence of the last king and queen of Vietnam stands out with a bright yellow shade and intricate mosaics depicting ancient mythology. The seamless blend between traditional and French styles displayed throughout its interior is a moving testimony to the harmonious combination between Western and Eastern culture.

Museum of Royal Antiquities

30m
Admission ticket included

Finally, take a closer look at the rich heritage of Nguyen monarchies by admiring the priceless collection of artifacts and antiques at the serene Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities outside the eastern borders of the castle. The stunning historic building surrounded by a lovely landscaped garden also provides great opportunities to unwind after a long walk.
