Known as the "Paris of the East", Hanoi is bustling with fast motorbikes, lively marketplaces, and Eurasian architecture dotting almost every corner. Work your way through Hanoi's old town in a cyclo-rickshaw or walk through the chaotic streets at your own risk, either way you'll enjoy a unique, distinctly North Vietnamese experience.
Whether you're shopping for Vietnamese arts and crafts, catching the famous Hanoi Water Puppet show, paddling swan boats on one of her many lakes, taking in a museum tour, or just spending the day at the infamous water park, Hanoi has plenty to offer all tastes and styles.
