Vietnam has long been a haven for travellers seeking affordable
getaways, but there's one destination that takes it to the next level:
Hue.
According to Agoda, Hue is the most affordable place to stay in
Vietnam during April and May. Surpassing last year's winner, Ninh Binh,
Hue in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue boasts an enticing average
room rate of US$43.
From its ancient citadel to the Perfume River, Hue offers a blend of
history, culture, and affordability. At the heart of Hue is its ancient
citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts breathtaking
architecture and centuries-old secrets.
No visit to Hue is complete without immersing oneself in its bustling
markets, where vendors offer colorful textiles, aromatic spices, and
mouthwatering street food. Travelers can indulge in the culinary
delights of Vietnam as they sample local specialties like banh khoai
(savoury pancakes) and bun bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup).
Travellers can delve into the spiritual heritage of the city by
exploring its revered pagodas and temples. The Thien Mu Pagoda, perched
atop a hill overlooking the river, offers panoramic views and a sense of
serenity.
