Hue City ranks among world’s top honeymoon destinations for 2026

Nestled along the poetic Perfume River, the former imperial capital offers a romantic blend of history, culture and tranquil landscapes that continue to enchant visitors from around the globe.

According to Tripadvisor, Hue stands out for its wealth of historical treasures, many of which have been recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among the city's highlights is the majestic Imperial Citadel, a sprawling complex that once served as the political and cultural heart of the Nguyen Dynasty. Within its walls lies Tu Cam Thanh (Forbidden Purple City), formerly reserved exclusively for the emperor, empress and royal concubines.

Visitors are also encouraged to explore the ornate Thanh Toan Tile-Roofed Bridge and the elaborate royal tombs scattered across the city, each reflecting unique architectural styles and the legacy of the Nguyen rulers.

The Travelers' Choice Best of the Best distinction represents the highest level of excellence awarded by Tripadvisor. The honor is based on a high volume of outstanding reviews and opinions from travelers worldwide over a 12-month period. Of more than eight million listings on the platform, fewer than one percent receive this prestigious recognition.

The recognition further affirms Hue's growing appeal as a romantic getaway, where timeless heritage and serene scenery create an ideal setting for newlyweds seeking both cultural depth and intimate charm.

Hue City joins a diverse list of globally renowned honeymoon spots in 2026, including Bali (Indonesia), Mauritius, Maldives, Saint Lucia, Galle (Sri Lanka), Napa Valley (the U.S.), Positano, Watamu, and Antigua and Barbuda./.
