Hanoi, a little piece of France forever kept by Vietnam.
Hanoi is a city of distinct contrasts that requires different modes of travel depending on your destination.
In the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem district, you can spend hours on foot exploring the thirty-six guilds and the scenic lakeside paths. To the south, the business and administrative centres are best reached via the metro or private car-hailing services.
The West Lake or Tay Ho district serves as the lifestyle and expatriate heart of the city, home to trendy cafes and lakeside villas that are most conveniently explored by rented bicycle or motorcycle.
The East and North districts, situated across the Red River, offer a mix of traditional craft villages and industrial parks accessible via the historic Long Bien Bridge or modern highway links.
Wherever you choose to go, Hanoi offers an intense and rewarding mix of cultures that ensures every journey is an urban adventure.
