Loved the citadel although the tour guide was not very good. I suggest you go here on your own rather than with a tour. There is a video explaining the history and some written information which was much more informative than our tour guide

We probably would have gotten more out of it if we had a guide, we attempted to tour this place on our own with the map, would suggest a guide though.

go on your own if you want to really appreciate this place. I spent 2 hours in there just wandering around, taking photos and savouring the atmosphere. You can hire a tour guide at the entrance if you wish and then spend time on your own afterwards looking around in depth

This city goes on and on! So many things to see within the walls. Area near the entrance also serves as community gathering place for families. Kite and toy vendors, with families flying kites in the garden area.

Very impressive, reminscent of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Still being renovated after the war damage, but they are progressing well and still plenty to see, Allocate a couple of hours at least.

Huge complex, very well preserved and being reconstructed after the long battle between US troops and Viet Cong in '68. So much to see it seems to go on and on. We did enjoy an elephant ride on the grounds.

there has been so much damage to this site from the war that you need to use your imagination when looking around. there are still plenty of interesting buildings and it is worth the visit. i can imagine that it would have been very grand in its day.

The Citadel is a must if you are going to Hue, but there isn't much else in the city to commend a visit. Best visit the Citadel on a drive through or stay one night only. The Pagoda on the river is excellent, but unless you really must, the royal tombs further up the river can be missed.
