We debated whether we should see the Citadel before leaving Hue. With limited time in each town, it’s hard to decide what’s worth doing & what to skip. We could see the Citadel from our hotel, it was right across the river and easy to walk to by crossing the bridge a few blocks down. We were getting tired of sight seeing, it’s been non-stop since we left LA…but then again, that’s what we came for. So we decided to wander over, thinking we’d be in and out in an hour.
Turns out, the place is huge and it took us 2 hours to explore (would have stayed longer, but they were about to close the place + we were starving). We were amazed how interesting it was. I think we were more intrigued by this than Angkor Wat, maybe because we didn’t know what to expect inside.
It was a fascinating place, many areas to explore, something new to discover with every doorway and archway. Here are a few pics:
