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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Vega Travel, Swan Cruises and Lotte Observation Deck. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Chua Tran Quoc and Indigo Store. Family-friendly places like Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum will thrill your kids. There's much more to do: get to know the fascinating history of Old Quarter, get to know the resident critters at Hanoi Zoological Gardens, explore the activities along West Lake, and savor the flavors at Food & Drink.

Wrap up your sightseeing on the 25th (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
