Hue is not a big and wealthy city in Viet Nam, the cost of living here is at the low rate and so is the expense for tourists staying here. This is the approximate budget for 2 days in hue city…
1. Accommodation
There are many choices for accommodations here, from hostel, Homestay or hotels . The cost for a double room at a hostel is from 15 to 25usd/ night, 30-40usd/ night for the homestay or 2-3 star hotel and 100usd/night and more for 4-5 star hotel . If you have the reservation in advance, you will have cheaper price than the late bookings.
2. Tickets
In Hue, the must-see places include royal palace ( entrance fee : 9usd/ person) , Minh Mang tomb, Khai Dinh tomb, Tu Duc tomb ( 7usd/person) . Thien Mu pagoda is opened free for everyone . It is more money saving if you buy the combo tickets for 3 places ( royal palace, Khai Dinh tomb and Minh Mang tomb) with 19usd/ person , or combo ticket for 4 places ( those 3 places above and Tu Duc tomb) with 24usd/ person. One important thing to remember is that the combo tickets are valid in only 2 days ( the day you buy it and the next day). If you want to visit all places in Hue , you can get the combo tickets for all with 27usd/ person and this ticket is valid in 3 days.
3. Transportation
There are many options for tourists to visit Hue : car, motorcycle, cyclo, dragon boat… The most popular way of visiting all places in Hue is using car transfer service ( 40usd/tour).

Besides, you can rent a scooter with the cost of 7usd/day or a bicycle with the same price and discover the city on your own.
