Despite its being Vietnam’s modern-day capital, Hanoi still retains the mystery and charm of past centuries. Narrow lanes and traditional shophouses invite exploration, while public spaces - lakes, parks, tree-lined boulevards and monuments - give the city an air of elegance and harmony with nature which is unique among Asian capitals.
This tour will include stops at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and his former residence, the One-Pillar Pagoda and the Temple of Literature, which was founded in 1070 by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong and honours Confucius. It has also hosted Vietnam's first university. You'll enjoy this serene retreat from the busy streets outside.
Finally, you'll have a short walk in Hanoi's famous Old Quarter, once a centre of commerce. Still a thriving community of sellers today, where historical homes and temples are intertwined with stores in a souvenir hunter's paradise.
