Well-preserved colonial buildings, ancient pagodas and imposing citadels will give you a poignant snapshot of its history. You will be amazed to spot towering edifices dotting the city centre starkly juxtaposing the precious relics even though the city is more than a thousand years old.

Make sure to visit the Old Quarter to soak up the sights and sounds of the ancient city. The maze of streets also brims with instagram-worthy cafes for you to spend time sipping away a cuppa while idly observing Hanoians getting about their day.

Well after the sun sets, Hanoi has a myriad of attractions to beguile locals and tourists alike. Groove the night away at one of Hanoi’s glitziest nightclubs. If partying is not your thing, make your way to Dong Xuan market instead.
