Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam – is an ideal destination for those who love culture and history. The city charms visitors with its ancient Old Quarter, the peaceful Hoan Kiem Lake, colonial-era architecture, and thousand-year-old landmarks. Hanoi’s vibrant street food scene, featuring dishes like pho, bun cha, and banh cuon, offers unforgettable culinary experiences. More than just sightseeing, a visit to Hanoi is a journey into the soul of Vietnam, where past and present blend harmoniously, and where every corner tells a story.
Step into the rhythm of Hanoi with a relaxing cyclo ride through the city’s vibrant Old Quarter. Seated in a traditional three-wheeled bicycle taxi, guests glide past colonial buildings, narrow alleys, and bustling street life. It’s the perfect way to soak in the city’s atmosphere at a slow, photo-friendly pace.
Enjoy a captivating performance of Vietnamese water puppetry, an art form dating back to the 11th century. Set on a pool of water, puppets are skillfully controlled by hidden artists to enact stories of rural life, legends, and folklore – all accompanied by live traditional music.
Tucked away in Hanoi’s hidden alleys and French-era buildings are cafés where you can try the city’s iconic egg coffee – a rich, creamy blend of whipped egg yolk and strong Vietnamese coffee. More than a drink, it’s a taste of Hanoi’s unique café culture and inventive spirit.
