Recently, Hue City passed a new resolution on adjusting and expanding the policy of waiving or reducing entrance fees at historical sites within the Hue Imperial Citadel complex. This is considered a long-term strategy to stimulate tourism and bring the values of world cultural heritage closer to a wider audience both domestically and internationally.
This decision is expected to give a strong boost to the green economy of the ancient capital region, while affirming Hue's position as a leading cultural destination in the Central region and the whole country.
Hue has updated several new regulations regarding entrance tickets for tourists.
The most significant highlight of this year's tour fee schedule is the introduction of super-saving combined ticket packages. For visitors wishing to see the most iconic structures of the Nguyen Dynasty, the combined 4-point tour including the Hue Imperial Citadel - Minh Mang Tomb - Tu Duc Tomb - Khai Dinh Tomb is currently priced at 530,000 VND per adult per visit. For children aged 7 to 12, the price is only 100,000 VND per visit. Choosing this package significantly reduces costs compared to buying individual tickets at each site, making it easier for families and groups of young people to fully experience the essence of imperial architecture.
The magnificent palace architecture at the Imperial Citadel is where visitors can begin their heritage exploration journey at a discounted price starting in 2026.
If visitors want to spend more time exploring every corner of the heritage site, the all-inclusive ticket to all major historical sites is currently the most economical option. For only 600,000 VND per adult and 120,000 VND per child, the entire system of temples, tombs, and palaces within the Hue Imperial Citadel complex will be at your fingertips. Importantly, this ticket is valid for up to 5 days from the date of purchase.
Besides attractive bundled ticket packages, the Hue city government has decided to maintain the same entrance fees for individual attractions as well as combined 2-point and 3-point tours as before. This price stability is a significant effort by the local tourism industry to affirm its position as a "friendly cultural destination." Tourists can confidently plan their budgets for their trips without fear of price gouging often seen at popular tourist spots. Maintaining the old prices while upgrading service quality is a key factor in helping Hue strongly attract both international and domestic tourists starting in early 2026.
Choosing a combined ticket covering all historical sites is the most economical solution, allowing tourists to comfortably stay and explore Hue for an extended period.
The new resolution also expands the list of those eligible for exemptions or reductions in entrance fees. The preferential criteria have been carefully reviewed and supplemented, ensuring access to heritage sites for all segments of the population, from the younger generation to policy beneficiaries and those who have rendered meritorious service.
Furthermore, all revenue from entrance fees will be used transparently and effectively to reinvest in the conservation of the historical site.
The openness in pricing policies, coupled with the warmth and hospitality of the people of Hue, is creating a "golden formula" for Hue tourism to shine brightly. With reasonable entrance fees and flexible usage times, Hue hopes to change tourists' habits, from short visits to longer stays. This will not only help tourists gain a deeper understanding of its rich history but also stimulate consumption of supporting services such as hotels, food, and souvenirs, creating a sustainable green economic cycle for this ancient capital.
