Info on Huê and the DMZ tour

We stayed at the DMZ Hotel in Hue next to the DMZ Café. It's a good location and only for $14 a night. There are a lot of nearby restaurants that serve very good Vietnamese and Western food.

Food wise, we highly recommend Hot Tuna. Don't be alarmed by its pub-ish look, the cuisine is very refined.
Also recommend Ushi. The lady who owns the place is very nice and modern.


The DMZ tour (100,000 VND) itself is not very interesting. It requires spending 12 hours on an old crappy bus for an about an hour of sightseeing. If you are interested in the subject it might be worth your time, but most people on our bus appeared bored by the experience.

Huê is a very hot and sunny city, so if it gets unbearable you can go to the Saigon Morin Hotel and use the fancy swimming pool for $
