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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Chua Tran Quoc and Long Bien Bridge. Bring the kids along to Old Quarter and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Temple of Literature & National University, admire the masterpieces at Fine Arts Museum (Bao Tang My Thuat), explore the activities along West Lake, and steep yourself in history at Hoa Lo Prison.

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