Itinerary

Old Quarter

Ngoc Son Temple

Discover the heart of Hanoi - a relic that has seen many ups and downs in the history of the captital. You will walk around the lake, visit nearby famous landmarks, as well as learn about the typical culture of the surrounding Old Quarter.

Ngoc Son Temple

Cross the vibrant red Huc Bridge to enter the temple complex, where you will worship national heroes and scholars, and view the preserved specimen of the legendary Hoan Kiem Turtle. You can also admire the symbolic Pen Tower and Ink Slab while enjoying serene views of Hoan Kiem Lake from the tranquil grounds.

Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum

Visitors come to Ba Dinh Square to pay solemn respects at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and witness the daily, precisely-executed Flag Raising and Lowering ceremonies. The vast, historic square is also the gateway to exploring the surrounding Presidential Palace grounds, Ho Chi Minh's modest Stilt House, and the iconic One Pillar Pagoda.

Train Street

Guests gather at the vibrant, narrow cafes lining the railway tracks, where they sip traditional Vietnamese coffee and watch local life unfold right on the rails. The main thrill is experiencing the dramatic rush as cafe owners rapidly clear seating and a train rumbles past, mere inches away from the spectators pressed against the walls.

Bevarage at your own.
