7 days à Hanoi, Vietnam Hide the description

The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving its historic district, its monuments and its colonial architecture, while opening up to modern developments. Hanoi may have denied many of its old names, including Thang Long or "Ascending Dragon," but it has not forgotten its past, as attested by sites such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison. Lakes, parks, shaded boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas contribute to the charm of this city, which can be easily visited by taxi, by motobike or by foot.
