Phú Xuân

Huế, Vietnam

4.5 (0)

Overview

The historic capital of the Nguyễn lords, the Tây Sơn dynasty, and later became the Nguyễn dynasty's capital (renamed Huế).

Why visit: Hanoi's old quarter and Saigon's boulevards — French colonial streets, temple courtyards and the best street food in Southeast Asia.

Things to do

›Eat at the plastic-stool street stalls — that is where the food actually is
›Cross the road by walking slowly and steadily; the traffic flows around you
›Use Grab for bikes and cars rather than negotiating with drivers
›Sit down for a ca phe sua da and watch the street for an hour
