Book a cyclo at Dong Ba Market. Three-wheel bicycle taxi. Slow cruise around Perfume River. Bargain first.
Common Scams to Avoid
At Phu Bai Airport, some taxi drivers insist the meter is "broken" and quote inflated flat fares to Hue city. Insist on using the official taxi queue outside arrivals and verify the meter is running before departure.
Motorbike taxi touts inside the terminal may claim the airport shuttle bus is cancelled and pressure travelers into expensive rides. The shuttle typically runs throughout the day and tickets are sold at the clearly marked counter near the exit.
Currency exchange booths in the arrivals area sometimes advertise "no commission" but use poor exchange rates. Compare rates with the VietinBank ATM just outside the terminal or wait to exchange in the city center.
