Begin your city adventure in the historic city of Hanoi in the afternoon, not on foot, but aboard a “cyclo”. These traditional bicycle rickshaws offer a unique blend of transportation and travel experience, moving at a relaxed pace ideal for photos and leisurely sightseeing. Sit back and enjoy as your driver navigates through some of the Old Quarter’s busiest streets, skillfully avoiding speeding motorbikes and passing by French colonial houses on the way to your next stop.

Next, disembark your cyclo at The Northern Gate of the ancient citadel, a massive fortress in the city’s heart. Discover the history of this impressive structure and Cua Bac Church, a stunning example of French and Catholic influence in the city.

Proceed to meet at the front of Quan Thanh Temple. This 11th Century Taoist temple is one of the oldest and most culturally significant in the city, located about a ten-minute walk from the citadel. Then, embark on a longer stroll toward West Lake, learning about John McCain and the temple along the way. Take a quieter back road and stop at the historic Pho Cuon Restaurant for a quick snack.

Continue to Chau Long Market for an immersive experience of Hanoian culture amidst the hustle and bustle of a local market. After exploring the street stalls, head along Nguyen Truong To Street, renowned for its desserts, toward Hang Than Street, the hub of Hanoi’s thriving wedding cake shops. Discover Vietnam’s unique wedding culture while sampling some wedding cakes. Shake off your sugar rush with a stroll to nearby Hang Cot Street to explore Hanoi’s mat weaving district. Conclude your walking tour with a traditional Vietnamese coffee, then return to your hotel or spa to unwind (spa fee at your own expense).
