Am visiting Hanoi Vietnam. What must see must do?

Question

Hey there :-) We're doing a short trip to Hanoi, 3 days, two nights. Spur of the moment thing; so... what are the must do's and must see's, must eat's etc.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Halong Bay is a must. And u can get on the trishaw and see the city itself. It will be a really great experience. U can also try the tapioca wedding cake which is really nice.

Answer 2

If u really wanna understand & live like a vietnamese, don't go by taxi, go by "xich lo". If u know any Vietnamese, tell them to go and buy stuff for u. Cuz when the seller see that u're a foreigner, he/she 's gonna charge u a much higher price. Things to eat: pho, bun cha, bun rieu cua, xoi, nem chua ran, banh bao chien, nuoc mia, banh chung ( the traditional cake of vietnam). Things to see: lang bac ( masolemn of Ho CHi MInh), Hoan Kiem Lake ( the most famous lake in Hanoi), Temple of Literature ( van mieu), Hoa Lo prison ( nha tu Hoa Lo)... They're all for free. Enjoy ur trip!!!!!

Answer 3

i had been to Vietnam start of May ,and stay there for 4days.

Halong bar ,you can't miss it . others i don't think is worth to see.

And i perfer you have some friends there ,or it will hard to communion~~ and as foreigner,you need pay more charge than the locals.

And be carefull with Vietnam Man~~ if you are a gril.

You should definitely head to Halong Bay, which is about a ~3 hour ride (but you should be able to find local tours or arrange it through your hotel).  It's a beautiful area with mini-islands and caves.  The other must-do, even though it is a bit touristy, is to visit the Ho Chi Minh Memorial, where you can see the body of Ho Chi Minh.

Answer 6

Hanoi is a unique city with tree-lined boulevard. French colonial architecture, peaceful lakes and oriental temples will give you the unforgettable imagines.

Must visits : Hochiminh Mausoleum, One Pillar Pagoda, Fine Arts Museum and Temple of Literature and the Lake of the Restored Sword ( center area ) and the Old Quarter of Vietnam’s capital.

If you have got more time, go to the Museum of Ethnology.

Must enjoy a traditional Vietnamese water puppet show in the evening at Thang Long Theatre.

Must taste Cha Ca dish at Cha Ca La Vong

Other vists Near Hanoi: Halong day trip ( contact any Huong Hai Boat, Bai Tho Boat... for the shuttle bus for halong ) as other anserers mentioned.
