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.
