๐Ÿ’ก About Hanoi

Hanoi, the thousand-year-old capital of Vietnam, is a captivating city where ancient traditions, French colonial elegance and communist history swirl together amid the endless hum of motorbikes and the aroma of street-side pho.

The atmospheric Old Quarter is a maze of 36 ancient streets, each once dedicated to a single trade, where tube houses, temples and tiny pavement eateries spill out onto the pavement. Tree-lined boulevards and faded villas recall the French colonial era.

Around the tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake, locals practise tai chi at dawn, while lively night markets and legendary street food draw visitors from across the world. Hanoi is Vietnam at its most authentic โ€” chaotic, charming and utterly unforgettable.
