Hanoi is one of Southeast Asia's most elegant cities, deftly blending elements of old Vietnam with strong currents of modernism. Whether it's strolling along the banks of Lake Hoan Kiem or pausing to reflect on a millennium-old pagoda, Hanoi is the type of city that encourages visitors to slow down and enjoy their holiday.
Optional: Cycle around the Old Quarter (extra fee incurred)
Note: Those wearing shorts/miniskirts are not allowed to enter the mausoleum. All visitors' shoulders must be covered with clothes.
