Old Quarter

Hanoi's Old Quarter buzzes with centuries of stories along its 36 streets of trades. Watch artisans hammer silver and carve wood in ancient tube houses while motorbikes zip past colonial buildings. Wander to tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake where locals practice tai chi or explore incense-filled temples that offer peaceful retreats from the energetic streets. From plastic stools serving affordable pho to boutique hotels in restored French buildings, the quarter offers authentic experiences at every turn. Most attractions sit within walking distance, though cyclos provide a traditional ride when your feet need rest. Morning visits avoid crowds and offer the gentlest introduction to this captivating area.

Beautiful pagoda in Hanoi... possible to walk but recommend to have a motorbike take you as it’s just outside of the main city area and easy to rent or hail someone to take you. Worth the views!
