Of the places we visited, we liked Hue the least. Probably a combination of the agressive cyclo/motorbike taxis and the heat when we were there. We found the reputation for excellent food in Hue was not particulary well founded and our food experiences in Hoi An, Nha Trang and Saigon were excellent. We will definitely come back to Vietnam but not Hue.

There are many wonderful things to see in Hue. The East Gate of the citadel, and the Dynastic Urns are "must see".
For some local color and good Vietnamese food, try Am Phu at 35 Nguyen Thai Hoc. This is a place popular with the locals, so do not expect "tourist" amenities, although the menu does have an English translation. The food is simple but excellent. Geckoes scurry freely on the walls. The pork hash and miscellaneous rice were very good.
A train ride down to DaNang to see the Cham museum is a worthwhile adventure. It takes a full day.
The Minh Mang tomb complex is also very interesting. The water gardens were an unexpected pleasure.

Worth going to for a day or two, should visit in conjunction with Hoi An (a nice beach stop). The drive from Hoi An to Hue was great.

Hue is not too big and one can walk to most of the places or take a bike. We took a boat trip to the tombs which we organized from the hotel. The boats are harbouring next to the hotel. We took a bus to Hoi An organized by a travel agency across the hotel. It is easy to book tours when you are in town.

Hue is in a good centralized location to explore the region, but the city itself holds little outside of the Citadel. The Mandarin Cafe is a good place to throw back a few beers and eat good cheap food. As is the case in the rest of Vietnam, the people are fantastic.

Hue offers so much that it should not be skipped over in a day or two, nor should it be just a base for the Demilitarised Zone to the north.
In fact, if you're not a war buff, or have a terrific imagination, I'd be inclined to skip the DMZ in favour of the many old tombs, palaces and Hue's Old Citidel, as they offer far more about Vietnamese history than the DMZ will ever provide.

Lac Thien restaurant near Imperial city is great, food is fantastic the Hada beers were cold and it was so cheap. Graffiti on walls from previous guests makes good reading! Boat trip up the Perfume River to visit tombs is a relaxing way of seeing the sights.

We enjoyed Hue, more for the environs than for the city itself. Hue, a former imperial capital, is surrounded by pagodas, temples, ruins of all sorts as well as majestic scenery that makes it a "must-visit" in Vietnam.
We took a motorcycle tour through the region and, despite the rain, loved everything we saw and did. It's a fascinating region and one will learn much about Vietnamese history from a visit there. We spent two days and that was more or less enough.
We took the recommendation of Lonely Planet about restaurants and they were, as ever, right on. Hue on Thu Wheels was our base for the motorcycle tour, and it was outstanding. They have good food and English speaking staff; a great place.
