9 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 cultural itinerary includes sights like Old Quarter and Hanoi Police Museum. Visiting Quan Lan Beach and Van Long Nature Reserve will get you outdoors. Change things up with a short trip to Mua Caves in Ninh Binh (about 1h 20 min away). Spend the 26th (Mon) on the water with a fishing tour. The adventure continues: get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour, see the sky in a new way at Lotte Observation Deck, indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, and push the limits with an extreme tour.
