Hue is a wonderful destination in Vietnam. Highly recommended to spend 2 full days: one day sightseeing in/around Hue. Second day rent a boat for a cruise / sightseeing up the Perfume river.

There are many wonderful things to see in Hue. The East Gate of the citadel, and the Dynastic Urns are "must see".
For some local color and good Vietnamese food, try Am Phu at 35 Nguyen Thai Hoc. This is a place popular with the locals, so do not expect "tourist" amenities, although the menu does have an English translation. The food is simple but excellent. Geckoes scurry freely on the walls. The pork hash and miscellaneous rice were very good.
A train ride down to DaNang to see the Cham museum is a worthwhile adventure. It takes a full day.
The Minh Mang tomb complex is also very interesting. The water gardens were an unexpected pleasure.

Hue is not too big and one can walk to most of the places or take a bike. We took a boat trip to the tombs which we organized from the hotel. The boats are harbouring next to the hotel. We took a bus to Hoi An organized by a travel agency across the hotel. It is easy to book tours when you are in town.

Lac Thien restaurant near Imperial city is great, food is fantastic the Hada beers were cold and it was so cheap. Graffiti on walls from previous guests makes good reading! Boat trip up the Perfume River to visit tombs is a relaxing way of seeing the sights.

We enjoyed Hue, more for the environs than for the city itself. Hue, a former imperial capital, is surrounded by pagodas, temples, ruins of all sorts as well as majestic scenery that makes it a "must-visit" in Vietnam.
We took a motorcycle tour through the region and, despite the rain, loved everything we saw and did. It's a fascinating region and one will learn much about Vietnamese history from a visit there. We spent two days and that was more or less enough.
We took the recommendation of Lonely Planet about restaurants and they were, as ever, right on. Hue on Thu Wheels was our base for the motorcycle tour, and it was outstanding. They have good food and English speaking staff; a great place.

Bicycle in the Citadel. River cruise to the mausoleums is good but make sure you understand costs up front and that you get to see what you want. Stroll around odd neighborhoods, like walk across the Dap Da causeway and along the river.

We took the hotel tour to the Citadel, tombs and pagoda and it was fine ($17 for four of us in one car). Near the hotel were some cheaper (and possibly nicer), backpacker hotels and restaurants serving Vietnamese and Western food (such as La Carambole). Also couple of nice art/artifact galleries.

I took a tour of the monuments in Hue and found that to be very good although Hue is twice as expensive as, say, Hanoi.

Unfortunately the weather was particularly rainy when we visited Hue. But after kitted ourselves up in plastic raincoats and conical hats and explored the Citadel. Probably my best experience was having some clothes tailor made. There are a couple of great vegetarian restaurants too.

Hue has little to offer except the lovely day trip on the Perfume river with stops visiting the Pagoda and the tombs. Consult guide books to decide which of the tombs you wish to visit - not all are worth the trek. Admission to all of the tombs is extra as well as the moto ride (bargain the price of the ride!).
