(Schedule is flexible) Hoa Lo Prison, often referred to as the “Hanoi Hilton” by American POWs during the Vietnam War, is a powerful historical site that offers a sobering glimpse into the country’s colonial and wartime past. Originally built by the French in the late 19th century to imprison Vietnamese revolutionaries, the prison later held American pilots captured during the Vietnam War.

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).
