Welcome to Vietnam! Your private driver greets you at Hanoi Airport and transfers you to your hotel in the historic heart of the city. Enjoy your first stroll through the Old Quarter, with its cafés, markets, lakes, and vibrant street life.
The next day, begin at Tran Quoc Pagoda, Hanoi’s oldest Buddhist temple, located by the tranquil West Lake. Continue to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Presidential Palace, and the legendary One Pillar Pagoda.
Visit the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, and the National Museum of History.
In the afternoon, walk around Hoan Kiem Lake and visit Ngoc Son Temple, then enjoy a traditional cyclo ride through the charming Old Quarter.
Our recommendation:
End the evening with a water puppet show — a uniquely Vietnamese cultural experience.
