Highlights

In this three-hour stroll through the Old Quarter, travelers embark on a nostalgic journey through time. Starting along Hoan Kiem Lake to uncover the myth of the Golden Turtle, you will admire French Indochinese architecture and meander through quiet lanes like Tam Thuong Alley to feel the cadence of an older era. The walk leads you to a secret vintage bookshop—a testament to the intellect and love for learning of Hanoi’s people—where you will savor humble alleyway delicacies like crab noodle soup and freshly steamed rice rolls, before unwinding with a rich egg coffee on the second floor of a charming old apartment building.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
