Rute
The journey through rich history and timeless culture starts at the artistic Phung Hung Fresco Street, where lively memories of Hanoi’s old days were beautifully recreated in three-dimensional paintings, carvings, etc. Creative murals bring about a nostalgic and immersive ambiance and also perfect backgrounds for unique souvenir pictures
Continue to take a stroll along the vibrant Hang Ma Street and learn about the interesting tradition of burning paper offerings in the form of everyday items for ancestors and deities. The 13th-century street overflowing with colorful crafted paper products and decorations for all festivals and celebrations throughout the year offers a chance to appreciate amazing craftsmanship and a festive atmosphere.
Then, browse through the bustling Dong Xuan Market, the heart of Ha Noi beating with the dynamic rhythm of its busy daily life for more than one century. Rebuilt in a style reminiscent of its French past, the colossal three-story market with its vast variety of products is the best place to watch locals and shop for special souvenirs.
Next, admire a living piece of history, O Quan Chuong City Gate. The only remaining entrance of the medieval city ramparts, named after the general who bravely sacrificed there fighting against French attacks, offers a precious glimpse into the turbulent history and ancient military architecture of Hanoi.
Proceed to visit Hanoi’s oldest building, the 11th-century Bach Ma Temple etched with mystic mythology and historical facts. Worshipping a holy white horse that is said to have guided an ancient emperor to the site where he chose to build Thang Long citadel (present-day Ha Noi), the ornately carved temple which hosts a famous annual procession is the moving testimony to the deep-seated animism in Vietnamese’s psyche.
Go on to explore the hidden gem of Ma May House, nestling in a tranquil corner of the city. The most outstanding of the rare mansions from the 19th century in Hanoi, when French culture was integrated into the fabric of the capital, showcases all the elegance and beauty of a typical upper-class residence with the layout and vintage furniture being preserved almost the same.
Finish the tour at the atmospheric Ta Hien Street, the star of the nightlife in the capital. The tiny old houses characteristic of historic architecture along the cozy street which serve as traditional boutiques selling ceramics, pottery, handmade silk products, and herbal medicines in daytime transform into bustling outdoor restaurants and pubs when the night falls, making the street the perfect end to the tour where you can unwind and savor tasty local foods alongside Hanoi’s famous beer.

About Hanoi
Hanoi, Vietnams hovedstad, blander templer ved søen, franske koloniale boulevarder og en gammel bydel, hvor gademad og scootere fylder hvert stræde.
Den gamle bydels smalle gader, der hver engang var viet til ét enkelt håndværk, ligger lige nord for Hoan Kiem-søen, hvor den røde Huc-bro fører til Jadebjergets Tempel. Gå en tur i daggryet for at se tai chi ved vandet, eller efter mørkets frembrud, når fortovene fyldes med madboder og lave plastikskamler.
Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
