Vietnam Ha Noi Tours

Vietnam's capital is best on foot and at a table - the Old Quarter's narrow streets, the calm of Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple of Literature, and bowls of pho and egg coffee along the way. Most visits pair Hanoi with an overnight cruise on Halong Bay.

French Quarter Architecture

South and east of Ha Noi's Old Quarter, tree-lined boulevards laid out under French rule hold the Opera House, the yellow-walled Presidential Palace and a scatter of colonial villas now used as embassies and cafes. The contrast with the Old Quarter's cramped shophouses is part of what makes walking the city worthwhile.

When the Weather Cooperates

Autumn, from September to November, brings dry air and mild temperatures that suit long days on foot. Summer turns hot and humid with sudden downpours, while a damp chill settles over the streets in January and February.

Day Trips From the Capital

Ninh Binh's limestone rivers and Trang An caves lie about two hours south, close enough for a single day out. Perfume Pagoda draws Vietnamese pilgrims each spring, reached partly by boat along the Yen Stream.
