Hue’s Citadel is like a smaller, more quaint version of Beijing’s Forbidden City. It’s a quiet complex with more ruins than standing buildings, compliments of some serious bombing during the Vietnam War.

Much of the back buildings are being restored and repainted to better reflect the Citadel’s former splendor. Entrance is 55,000 dong (just over $2) and it’s definitely worth a look. Be sure to bring your own water since the stalls nearer the Citadel are terribly overpriced.
