Vietnam National Railways has announced a 50 percent discount on entrance fees at five heritage sites in Hue for passengers travelling on the Hue-Da Nang or Hue-Phong Nha tourist trains. The offer applies to both domestic and international visitors.
The five sites are the Hue Imperial Citadel, the Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities, and the tombs of Kings Thieu Tri, Duc Duc and Dong Khanh, all within the UNESCO-recognized Complex of Hue Monuments.
The discount is valid for seven consecutive days from the date of rail travel shown on the ticket, whether paper or electronic. Each ticket entitles the holder to one discounted admission at one of the five sites, and the program runs through the end of 2026. Benefits cannot be combined, so visitors eligible for multiple schemes receive the highest available discount.
The Hue-Da Nang heritage route began operations in early 2024 and takes about three hours, passing landscapes such as the Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system, Lang Co Bay and Hai Van Pass. Condé Nast Traveler ranked the Hue-Da Nang heritage train 10th on its list of the 20 best train trips in the world for 2026.
For travellers, the offer makes combining rail travel with sightseeing in Hue cheaper, and the seven-day window allows time to explore the city's heritage sites after the journey.
