The best things to do in Hanoi

If you are planning to stay 2, 3 or 4 days in Hanoi, you might be asking yourself what are the must-do things. Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam. It is the second-largest city in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh city. However, the atmosphere of these two cities is completely different. Hanoi is more ancient and traditional. Ho Chi Minh, instead, is more modern, dynamic, young, and looks like a western city. Throughout years, the northern part of Vietnam including Hanoi have been influenced by Chinese culture. Following several wars of resistance, the Vietnamese gradually regained the north of the country. This is why Hanoi has a rich historical and cultural value compared to Ho Chi Minh. Let’s take a look at the best things to do in Hanoi.

The red bridge will lead you to the Island of Jade which is home to the temple of Ngọc Sơn built around the XV century.

The old quarter has 76 streets from which 47 have preserved their historical names which start with “goods”. Each neighborhood bears the traces of its history. Street names always remind of the goods that were produced or still produced there. The old quarter of Hanoi is characterized by small streets, and houses-tubes. It is recommended to spend at least half a day, if not a full day to walk around. You can easily enjoy local gastronomy thanks to the many street food stands.
