Head out on a cycling excursion to uncover the backroads and quiet corners around the UNESCO-listed city of Hue. Pass over 18th-century bridges, visit a one-of-a-kind museum, and swing by a market to pick up produce for the second half of your tour: a hands-on cooking class focused on Hue specialties.

Start your day with convenient pickup at your hotel and enjoy the quick ride to your starting point at a local cafe. Consider grabbing a drink while you get fitted for a bike, then snap on a helmet and put your feet to the pedals to take off after your guide down winding country roads.

Cruise by the Thanh Toan tile-roofed bridge, whose supports are covered with inscribed poems collected since it was built in the late 18th century. Continue your ride through pastoral landscapes blanketed in rice fields, and pop into a museum dedicated to cataloging agricultural tools used in rice cultivation for centuries.

Back in Hue, coast into a local market to weave between its produce-packed stalls, picking up ingredients for an immersive cooking class. With full shopping bags, head into the kitchen and get your hands dirty, whipping up Hue classics like fresh spring rolls, bloating fern-shaped cakes, Hue pancakes, and beef noodle soup. Pair your creations with extra dishes and sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor before rounding out your day with a stress-free ride back to your hotel.
