6 days in Hanoi Itinerary

The capital of Vietnam, Hanoi has bounded back from the effects of war, and today serves as a bustling commercial and cultural hub bursting at the seams.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Old Quarter and Hoa Lo Prison. Step out of the city life by going to Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) and Kayaking & Canoeing. Spend the 9th (Wed) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, get engrossed in the history at Ho Chi Minh Museum, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Temple of Literature & National University, and indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour.
