Holidays To Hanoi

Hanoi holidays take you to Vietnam’s capital, where you’ll find history and culture that will delight, as well as beautiful scenery around every corner. This is your time to relish the chance to observe, hear and feast on French and Chinese influences throughout Hanoi’s landscape, architecture and attractions. Hanoi retains much of its original charm and traditions through its mix of bustling tourist hubs and peaceful escapes. Leave your Hanoi hotel behind for a day and spend time exploring architectural highlights such as the Tran Quoc Pagoda or the Temple of Literature. You can also learn more about the local folklore at the famous Thang Long Water Puppet show. For a change of pace head to Hoan Kiem Lake (the lake of the restored sword) and enjoy the views of the picturesque Jade Island, while discovering the origins of its famous 18th century temple.

Discover The History Of Hanoi’s Old Quarter

The ’36 streets’ in Hanoi’s Old Quarter were all named after the specific trades plied within them, and have evolved into a bustling mix of traditional and modern shopping opportunities. These passages blends seamlessly with historic temples such as Bach Ma, one of the architectural delights tucked away in a side street. Immerse yourself in Hanoi’s culture, with the chance to sample dishes such as Cháo Suon Quay (rice porridge with pork and deep fried breadsticks). Alternatively, visit the cavernous Dong Xuan Marketplace on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening for the best choice of souvenirs. Pair your city break with a coastal adventure at the French colonial port of Da Nang. Just an hour and 20 minutes away from Hanoi by plane, it’s home to the famous Dragon Bridge. Head further afield to Halong Bay and take a sea kayak expedition through the Garden Of Islands. Alternatively, take in the scenic mix of architecture in Hoi An, which boasts colourful houses and a rich history.
