Getting there

Walking

If you are in the Phú Hội neighborhood, start at the main intersection at Nguyễn Văn Cừ and Lê Lợi streets. Head west on Lê Lợi street for about 500 meters until you reach the entrance of the Imperial City. The Flag Tower is located inside the Imperial City, so you will need to purchase an entrance ticket to the Imperial City, which costs approximately 150,000 VND for adults and 30,000 VND for children. Once inside, follow the signs towards the Flag Tower, which is a prominent historical landmark.

Bicycle

If you prefer to ride a bicycle, you can rent one from a local shop in Phú Hội. After renting a bike, cycle to the intersection of Nguyễn Văn Cừ and Lê Lợi streets. From there, head west on Lê Lợi street for about 500 meters to the entrance of the Imperial City. Please be aware that you will need to pay for an entrance ticket (150,000 VND for adults) to access the Flag Tower inside the Imperial City. Once inside, follow the directional signs to reach the tower.

Cyclo

Another enjoyable option is to hire a cyclo (a traditional bicycle taxi). You can find cyclos around Phú Hội. Ask the driver to take you to the Imperial City entrance on Lê Lợi street. The fare may vary but expect to pay around 30,000 - 50,000 VND for the ride. After arriving at the entrance, you will need to buy a ticket for the Imperial City (150,000 VND for adults).
