Hue eSIM

Which eSIM should I buy for Hue?

Choose the AloOui Vietnam eSIM. It starts at $5.49 for 1GB over 7 days and runs on Viettel and VinaPhone (4G/5G), MobiFone and Vietnamobile (4G). Install it before you fly and you're online the moment you land at Phu Bai International Airport (HUI). The same eSIM works across Vietnam, so Da Nang, Hoi An and Hanoi are included.

Arriving at Phu Bai Airport (HUI)

Phu Bai International Airport is about 15 km south of Hue, a 25–30 minute ride into the city. Grab cars and taxis wait outside arrivals. Many visitors also arrive by the Reunification Express train or by road from Da Nang over the Hai Van Pass.

Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land and book a Grab before you leave the terminal, so you know the price upfront.

Getting around Hue

• Grab: cars and motorbike taxis, booked and paid in the app
• Cyclos and bikes: a relaxed way to see the Citadel and the riverbanks
• Dragon boats: boat trips on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda and the tombs

Where you'll use your data in Hue

• The Imperial City: the walled Citadel of the Nguyen emperors, a UNESCO World Heritage site
• Thien Mu Pagoda: the seven-storey tower on the banks of the Perfume River
• The royal tombs: the tombs of Tu Duc, Minh Mang and Khai Dinh in the hills outside the city
• Dong Ba Market: the city's biggest market and the place to try bún bò Huế

The Hai Van Pass and the DMZ

The Hai Van Pass is one of Vietnam's most scenic coastal roads, linking Hue with Da Nang. Day tours also head north to the former DMZ and the Vinh Moc tunnels.

Data tip: download offline maps before riding the pass, and save hotel addresses in Vietnamese to show drivers. Hue's rainy season runs roughly from September to December, so check the forecast each morning.
