3 days in Vietnam 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.

Get some cultural insight at Old Quarter and Hoa Lo Prison. Get outdoors at Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) and West Lake. And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, take an in-depth tour of Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, take in the spiritual surroundings of Temple of Literature & National University, and explore the world behind art at Fine Arts Museum (Bao Tang My Thuat).
