Why visit Hanoi
Hanoi is a thousand-year capital where French charm meets the vivid rhythm of Vietnamese life. Wander the Old Quarter's '36 Streets,' sip egg coffee by Hoan Kiem Lake, then cruise out to the World Heritage wonder of Ha Long Bay. Cool, pleasant winters make it a great time to visit for travelers eager to experience northern Vietnam.

Good to know before you go
Hanoi works well as 2–3 days in the city plus an overnight Ha Long trip or a Ninh Bình day trip. The center is compact and walkable, while day trips are best done by tour vehicle. October to April is the cool, pleasant sweet spot; note that summer (June–August) is hot and humid.
