Itinerary

Hanoi, a vibrant, rising city that is making up for years lost to conflict, has a rich cultural legacy that includes influences from Southeast Asia, China, and France. Discover the intriguing history and undiscovered attractions of Hanoi by joining us on our city trip.

Located in the bustling Old Quarter, the Hanoi Cathedral is a must-see destination on any hop-on, hop-off trip. Head to Hoan Kiem Lake, a tranquil haven from the bustling city, after taking a stroll through the winding alleyways, stopping by the Bach Ma Temple, and perhaps grabbing some traditional Vietnamese street food. Discover the history of Hoan Liem Lake, often known as the "Lake of the Returned Sword," as you stroll around the stunning gardens.

Once more, board the bus and travel visit other temples dispersed across the city. The first site is Quan Thanh, a stunning Taoist temple dedicated to "Tran Vo," also known as the "God of the North." The oldest Buddhist shrine in Hanoi, Tran Quoc Pagoda, is another excellent place to stop. The main pagoda, which is surrounded by luxuriant flora, is quite an astonishing sight from 15 metres above the ground.

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum honours the former president and prime minister of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, and you must see it before you depart the city. After getting off the bus and paying your respects to "Uncle Ho," explore the floral grounds.
