Our verdict

Hué, former imperial capital of Vietnam under the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945): 350,000 inhabitants on the Perfume River , UNESCO-listed since 1993 for its monumental Imperial City complex. March is my favorite month (8.6/10): 72-82°F, 32% rain, ideal temperatures before the summer heat.
