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.

Do your shopping at 54 Traditions Gallery and The Bookworm Hanoi. Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Vietnam Museum of Ethnology and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. The adventure continues: appreciate the extensive heritage of Old Quarter, look for gifts at Indigo Store, examine the collection at Vietnamese Women's Museum, and steep yourself in history at Hoa Lo Prison.
