Entrance is inexpensive, about 30,000–40,000 VND per adult; student and child concessions are usually available, so carry ID and small change. Card payments may be limited, so bring cash to avoid delays.

Fatos rápidos: Stepping through the ornate gate feels like slipping into a vanished court, where worn stone platforms and dragon-carved bricks still hum with echoes of imperial ceremonies. Archaeologists have unearthed thousands of ceramics, lacquerware, and structural layers across more than 18 hectares, revealing a palimpsest of successive capitals beneath the modern city.
Destaques: Beneath the grassy courtyards archaeologists uncovered nine superimposed occupation layers, with ceramics and timber foundations dating from the 7th century through the 20th century so you can literally trace capital life across a millennium. At dawn you can smell faint traces of old lacquer near the weathered flagpole base, and guides point out a tiny carved stone dragon about 8 centimeters across that once marked the emperor’s private route.
