Hanoi
If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, Hanoi, the vibrant capital, should be at the top of your list. With over a thousand years of history, Hanoi is the country’s cultural and political heart.
Wandering through the charming narrow streets of the Old Quarter, you can discover hidden temples, old houses, and a way of life that hasn’t changed for generations. This sense of timelessness blends effortlessly with the city’s modern cafes, stylish restaurants, and lively art scenes. As evening falls, the city comes alive with rooftop bars and buzzing local “bia hoi” spots, offering a perfect mix of old-world charm and contemporary energy.
