Showcasing sweeping boulevards, tree-fringed lakes and ancient pagodas, Hanoi is Asia’s most atmospheric capital. Development and traffic chaos increasingly threaten to subsume its compelling blend of Parisian grace and Asian pace, but a beguiling coexistence of the medieval and the modern still enthrals.
- experience Asia at its raw, pulsating best in the labyrinthine streets of the Old Quarter
- step into history, and a spiritual retreat from the busy streets, at the Temple of Literature
- get an authentic taste of the city while exploring Hanoi’s intoxicating street food scene
Coverage includes: History, Sights, Activities, Courses, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking, Entertainment, Shopping, and Around Hanoi.
