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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Old Quarter and Chua Tran Quoc. Step off the beaten path and head to Fine Arts Museum (Bao Tang My Thuat) and Long Bien Bridge. There's lots more to do: contemplate the long history of Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, explore the activities along West Lake, let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour, and learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Hanoi Zoological Gardens.

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