Hue, The Most Walkable City in Vietnam

Hue City is by far my favorite city in Vietnam. Hue had been the capital of Vietnam during the the rule of Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 until 1945. And this is why Hue is different from any other city in Vietnam.
I took a train from Hanoi to Hue, it was an overnight train so I arrived to Hue at 6am. Sun rises early in Vietnam so it was already bright outside. Since I didn’t have heavy luggage with me, I decided to walk because the railway station is located in the city center.
I was happily surprised with existence of sidewalks in Hue and the cleanliness of the place. I walked along the main road which was heading along the riverside so I decided to visit the riverside. Days start early in Vietnam, because the riverside was full of people at 6am, people were exercising and enjoying cool morning.
After walking for a bit, I got hungry so I went to a nearby coffee shop. I chose Highlands Coffee because they sell cakes and sandwiches as well and I needed to have some breakfast.
Later on I checked into my hotel, dropped off my luggage and headed to explore more of Hue. I walked across the river towards The Imperial City, the historic royal.city. It was very nice to walk around there.
In the evening I headed over to the beer street and had dinner, the beer street was closed off from traffic and turned into a walking street, which was nice.
The next day I took a tour of the Huda Beer Factory and took a private car tour to explore all the nearby temples and tourist attractions.
In the evening I took a walk along the Perfume River and enjoyed the view of colorful bridges.

I enjoyed Hue because it is the only city in Vietnam which is great for walking.

Enjoy your trip to Hue City 😊
