Hanoi, a city steeped in history, has evolved from its war-torn past to a vibrant metropolis. The blend of colonial and modern architecture, buzzing streets filled with scooters, and an array of cafes and galleries create a dynamic urban scene.

With a diverse mix of Chinese, French, and Vietnamese influences, Hanoi offers a unique architectural journey. The Old Quarter preserves its ancient charm with Buddhist temples, while the French Quarter boasts elegant villas and the grand Hanoi Opera House.

Amidst the bustling city, find tranquility in a Parisian-inspired cafe, a hallmark of local culture. Explore Hanoi’s culinary scene through bustling street markets like Thanh Ha and Dong Xuan offering a variety of local delights, from crispy Banh xeo to famous egg coffee.

Wake early to experience the city’s vibrant morning life – fresh markets, exercise classes in parks, and the solemn flag-raising ceremony at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Visit historic sites like the Temple of Literature, a symbol of Confucian learning and peace in the heart of the city.

End your day with a unique experience at the Hotel Metropole’s preserved bomb shelter, an emblem of Hanoi’s wartime history. Relax at a ‘bia hoi’ corner, savour the freshly brewed draft beer, and mingle with locals in low-lit bars.

Immerse yourself in Hanoi’s lively culture and hidden gems, savouring each moment of your journey through this enchanting city.
