A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Visiting Hanoi is like hopping through a time tunnel: beyond congested roads flanked by modern skyscrapers, ancient temples and multi-storey pagodas rub elbows with French colonial mansions in the labyrinthine Old Quarter.
With more than a thousand years of history, Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, boasts an extensive must-see itinerary that reflects its many years as the country’s most important political center. You’ll find places in Hanoi that reflect the full breadth of the Vietnamese cultural and historical experience, from the country’s founding as a Chinese vassal state a thousand years in the past to its liberation from French and American colonial powers in the 20th century and its confident stride into the 21st.
