2. Boi Tran Gallery

Boi Tran together with Le Thi Luu (1911–88) are the only two female Vietnamese artists whose paintings are sold in Sotheby’s and Christie’s auctions. Boi Tran also owns a collection of masterpieces by artists such as Tran Quang Tran (Ngym), Nguyen Sang, To Ngoc Van, Hoang Tich Chu, Nguyen Trung, and others. The gallery also serves local dishes with artistic presentation. Reservations should be made at least one day in advance.

3. Dong Ba Market
Hue's main market, Dong Ba, situated north of the Citadel just beyond the central Hue bus station, is the place to go for street food, souvenirs, clothing, and knockoff brands. It's enormous and packed to the rafters, so it can feel cramped and hot, especially near the food stalls in the center. Unlike many other local markets in the central region, this one comes alive as the sun goes down, when crowds descend for dinner and a line of bia hoi (beer) stalls set up parallel to the river. Bargaining is expected at the market stalls.
