    Begin your day with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Complex, where you will walk through serene gardens and historic landmarks. Visit the beautiful Presidential Palace, then stop by the modest Stilt House where Ho Chi Minh lived. Nearby is the One Pillar Pagoda, a small but famous temple nestled in a lotus pond.

    Then go to the Temple of Literature, built almost a thousand years ago to honor Confucius. This lovely complex was Vietnam’s national university at one point, and its courtyards still have an air of reverence for study and tradition.

    In the afternoon, visit Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the “Hanoi Hilton.” This museum offers an emotive insight into Vietnam’s history under colonial occupation and the prisoners’ lives during the Vietnam War.

    Next, head to Hanoi’s Old Quarter, where the city is very lively. Each street was named for what was being sold on it, like silk on Hang Gai or silver on Hang Bac. You’ll be dropped off at Dong Xuan Market, the biggest city market, where residents buy everything from spices to household goods.

    Return to your hotel late in the afternoon. Overnight in Hanoi. Meals are at your own expense.

    Note: The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is closed on Mondays and Fridays and in the afternoons, but the nearby attractions are open.
