Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street

Nice area to take boat ride see city views; park like setting along the river. Best time to go 20:00 most vendors are open and more people watching.

Nguyễn Đình Chiểu Walking Street in Huế is a hidden gem that offers a delightful mix of local charm, culture, and relaxation right in the heart of the city. I spent an evening here during my recent trip to Huế and was absolutely enchanted by its peaceful ambiance and riverside beauty. Stretching along the Perfume River, this walking street is smaller and more intimate than some of the more commercial pedestrian streets in Vietnam, but that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s clean, well-maintained, and has a uniquely calm and romantic atmosphere — especially around sunset, when the sky turns golden and reflects off the water. What I appreciated most was the blend of local life and gentle tourism. You’ll find local families taking walks, street performers playing traditional Vietnamese instruments, and small stalls selling art, souvenirs, and light snacks. There are also several charming cafés and teahouses where you can sit and enjoy the view while sipping a cold drink or Vietnamese coffee. The street is beautifully lit in the evening, with colorful lanterns and tasteful lighting that enhances the cozy and poetic feel. It’s the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll, unwind after a day of sightseeing, or just people-watch and feel the rhythm of Huế. If you’re visiting Huế, don’t miss this spot. Nguyễn Đình Chiểu Walking Street is the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard — it simply lets Huế’s gentle soul speak for itself. Five stars without a doubt.

Loved walking along the boardwalk in the evening. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Hue. Beautiful views of the river and bridges, while watching how the locals enjoy the weekend. We also passed by a row of museums along the way and enjoyed the outdoor exhibits

There is a nice breeze and it is particularly beautiful at sunset! The bridge is lit up at night and adds to the beauty! There are palm trees and the path is smooth!

Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street is a charming riverside promenade that blends local culture, scenic views, and relaxed energy. Located along the southern bank of the Perfume River, it stretches from Phu Xuan Bridge to Truong Tien Bridge and opens daily from late afternoon into the evening. As the sun sets, the area comes alive with street vendors selling snacks, drinks, and handcrafted souvenirs. The LED-lit bridges and river breeze create a peaceful backdrop for strolling, people-watching, or catching impromptu street performances. The street is compact but full of character—ideal for a short walk or a casual night out. It’s pedestrian-only, making it safe and quiet compared to busier city zones. Locals gather for music, games, and evening hangouts, while visitors enjoy the mix of food stalls, art displays, and photo spots. It’s not a major shopping hub, but it’s a great place to soak in Hue’s laid-back nightlife and riverside charm.

Super fun to walk down, lots of restaurants and boba tea places to stop off at. Went during Tet 2025, absolutely manic and so busy. Saw the apartment cafe which is close to here as well as the Saigon Opera House.

Very vibrant. Everything is open bars 🍸 , shops. A lot's of music 🎶

Hue’s walking street comes alive at night with colorful lights, street performers, and local vendors. It’s a great place to enjoy music, shopping, and local snacks. The lively atmosphere makes it unforgettable. I had so much fun here and will definitely encourage my friends to visit.
