Things to do in Hanoi

Was a really good show, learning the history of Vietnam through puppets and music. Was a great experience and would recommend this to anyone going Hanoi. Only downside is that not everything is translated. The story is translated via the earpiece but the dialogue within the show isn't which is a shame as it is difficult to understand what was happening at times but overall still recommended to visit.

The Hoan Kiem lake in Hanoi is one of the most visited central attractions of the city. The atmosphere is leisurely and relaxing, which makes it an easy-going place to enjoy a nighttime or a daytime stroll, while taking pictures and taking in the views of the streets around, where there are many shops, cafes and restaurants as well as street eateries.

Worth a look. I went when it was raining, still a beautiful view though

แนะนำให้ขึ้นตอนกลางคืน เพราะตอนกลางวันคือร้อนมาก รถผ่านหลายๆ สถานที่ที่เป็นแลนด์มาร์ก นั่ง 1 รอบคือคุ้มเลย กลางคืนบรรยายกาศดี หลายๆตึกเปิดไฟก็สวยงาม ค่าตั๋วไม่แพง

Explore Hanoi’s Old Quarter 🇻🇳, a vibrant maze of historic streets filled with local life, street food, shops, cafés, and the unmistakable energy of Vietnam.

St. Joseph Cathedral is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Hanoi. Its stunning Gothic architecture, peaceful atmosphere, and vibrant surroundings make it a must-visit. Whether you come to admire the exterior, attend Mass, or simply enjoy the nearby cafés, it’s a wonderful place to experience the city’s charm and history.

This is a must in Hanoi. I would recommend going to friends. The locals are very friendly and the coffee was delicious!

Visiting Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum was a memorable experience. The site is peaceful, well-organized, and full of historical significance. Watching the respectful atmosphere and learning about President Ho Chi Minh's legacy made the visit meaningful. It's a must-see destination for anyone exploring Hanoi and Vietnamese history.

One of the places that best reflects the spirit of Hanoi is undoubtedly "36 Phố Phường," the 36 streets of the Old City. This area has been the center of trade and daily life for centuries; each street was once dedicated to a different craft or product. For example, Hang Bac (Silver Street) is known for its jewelers, Hang Ma for its paper decorations, and Hang Dao for its textiles. According to visitor reviews: - Positive: The historical texture of the streets, the colonial-era buildings, and the vibrant atmosphere are very impressive. Street food, coffee culture, and the night market are best experienced here. You can encounter a different surprise around every corner. - Negative: The crowds and motorcycle traffic can sometimes be tiring. Prices in tourist areas are a bit higher than in other parts of Hanoi. In short: 36 Phố Phường is the heart of Hanoi. Wandering here is not just about shopping, but also about feeling the history and culture of the city. Getting lost in the streets, trying different flavors, and observing daily life are the most authentic parts of the Hanoi experience.

It's OK. Although it can't be compared with the royal palaces of other countries, it does reflect the characteristics of Vietnam. Especially the exhibition introducing the history of Vietnam, which may be the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Vietnam.
