Huế has many attractions spread across the area: the Imperial City within the citadel, the royal tombs in the outskirts, and Lăng Cô Beach to the south. Renting a Carnival by the day allows families to visit all the tombs without having to book multiple car trips.
Huế retained its boundaries after the 2025 administrative reorganization and is a centrally governed municipality.
