Hanoi
Hanoi, the country’s capital unfairly overlooked due to the famous Ho Chi Minh City (or Saigon) because of how the War portrayed it towards foreign tourists. When in fact, Hanoi is one of the most picturesque, culturally rich, and has well-laid streets that it one of the world’s most attractive and interesting cities. It’s the country’s cultural heart where its thousand-year history is ever-present and takes centerstage by its centuries-old but well-preserved colonial architecture.
The city of Hanoi is best known for its two main neighborhoods – the French Quarter and the Colonial Quarter which are rich in attractions and are a mere 15 minutes away from each other on foot. The Old Quarter features the beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake in its heart and is surrounded by historical attractions, colonial buildings, and ancient pagodas with a great assortment of shopping streets and local eateries. The French Quarter, on the other hand, features iconic landmarks such as the Hanoi Opera House with hotels and restaurants that appeal to the higher end of the market. So swap your bottled water with possibly the cheapest beer in the world, Bia hơi and take a leisurely walk around the city but do make sure to watch out for the zipping motorbikes which just adds more flavor and excitement to the city.
If you’re into shopping, you should check out the Hanoi Weekend Night Market and Hang Gai Silk Street for local flavor, or the Trang Tien Plaza and the Lotte Center for upscale choices. When in Hanoi, you must try their bún chả and Bun Cha Huong Lien is where Anthony Bourdain and former President Barack Obama had their memorable lunch. And to cap it off, have a drink and an amazing experience at the Bia Hoi Junction or sit back and enjoy the music at Binh Minh’s Jazz Club while you plan your trip to the world-renowned Halong Bay the next day.

The place exudes an air of charm and chic of a bygone era. The architecture is the marriage of romantic French Indochina and modern Asian style displayed in every little details from polished hardwood floors atone by cream walls and dashes of hued colors from Vietnamese silk cushions and tailored carpets. What we really love is the exhibition of oil paintings all over the walls to recreate the old charm of Hanoi and northern Vietnam.
