4 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.

Family-friendly places like Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) and Old Quarter will thrill your kids. There's much more to do: steep yourself in history at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, make a trip to Temple of Literature & National University, admire the masterpieces at Fine Arts Museum (Bao Tang My Thuat), and take an in-depth tour of Vietnam Museum of Ethnology.
