Get around

Hue is flooded with cyclos and motorbikes, as well as a few meter taxis. Taxi drivers are usually honest, but make sure they turn the meter on: trips start at 15,000 VND for the first 2km and tick upward at 11,500 VND/km. With cyclos and motorbikes, all of the usual disclaimers apply: negotiate a price ahead of time, and don’t be afraid to walk away if they’re asking too much. Hue is quite compact, so you also can reach most of the hotels, restaurants, and the Citadel easily on foot.
