About Hanoi

A thousand-year-old capital of lakes, French boulevards and street food

Hanoi is Vietnam's capital, a city of narrow Old Quarter streets, tree-lined French colonial boulevards and Hoan Kiem Lake. It is known for its food, from pho and bun cha to egg coffee, and for the motorbikes that fill every street.

Visitors can see the Temple of Literature, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Hoa Lo Prison museum. Day trips go to Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and the Perfume Pagoda.

Best time
October to April, with cooler, drier weather. Summer is hot and humid, with rain from May to September, and winter can be chilly and damp.
How long
Three days.
Getting around
Walking is best in the Old Quarter. Grab taxis and motorbike taxis are cheap, and tours include transport to outlying sights. Crossing the street takes confidence: walk slowly and steadily.
