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 Lotte Observation Deck, The Bookworm Hanoi and Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre. Get some cultural insight at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Temple of Literature & National University. Old Quarter and Hoa Lo Prison will appeal to history buffs. There's much more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake), explore the world behind art at Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, take in the spiritual surroundings of One Pillar Pagoda, and contemplate the long history of Ho Chi Minh Presidential Palace Historical Site.
