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 explore the less-touristy side of things at Vietnam Fine Arts Museum and Ngoc Son Temple. Chua Tran Quoc and Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52 are good opportunities to explore the local culture. There's much more to do: explore the activities along West Lake, make a trip to Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic Mural, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at One Pillar Pagoda, and wander the streets of Old Quarter.
