I plan to visit Hue in early Dec but have queries...
Is there any intercity bus from Hanoi to Hue and back to Hanoi?
How long is the travelling time by the bus?
How many days in advance do I need to book the bus ticket from Hanoi?
How many days will it be enough to see Hue?
Thanks :)
I think 3or 4 days in Hue should be enough. There is always open tour bus from Hanoi to Hue and vice versa, it costs not more than 15 usd. You just have to book ticket one day before, really easy. It takes about 12 hours.
The Royal Citadel is located on the banks of the Perfume River. The construction of the square citadel, which was exclusively made from bricks, started in 1805. The wall is 6 m high, 20 m thick and surrounded by a moat.
The citadel has ten gates: Nha Do, Sap, Ngan, Thuong Tu, Dong Ba, Ke Trai, Hau, An Hoa, Chanh Tay, and Huu.

Several places in Hue are historical sites and must be preserved. Sometimes these belong to the public, and the caretaker lives on the premise. Sometimes these belong to locals; enterprising owners may decide to erect a cafe or restaurant around it. We found these in a neighborhood just outside the wall of the Citadel. There's a cafe next to it.
Bronze drums with stylized reliefs of people and animals on top are among the earliest known Vietnamese archaeological artifacts. They appropriately are the country's heraldic symbol. Strangely, the decorative motif is similar to that of objects found from Myanmar to Indonesia, suggesting cultural exchange or even a common ancestral root.
There are sidewalks on Trang Tien Bridge, so you can walk across from the city centre to the market and the Citadel. Cars are not permitted on the bridge, but it is always busy with two-wheeled vehicles.
This is a good place to try some local cuisine. They serve Banh Nam (shrimp and pork with sticky rice in a banana leaf), white rose, and a few others done in the region. The neat thing is to watch the people making the food in the corner.
