Hanoi, one of the gateways to Vietnam and its respected capital, is a fascinating blend of Vietnamese culture. It served as the capital until 1802 when it was moved to Hue by the Nguyen dynasty. From 1954 to 1976, it was the capital of North Vietnam before reuniting as the official capital. In 2010, the city marked its 1,000th anniversary. Some of its architecture shows French influences, leading to its nickname, the Paris of the East.
The Old Quarter, found near Hoan Kiem Lake, is a favorite area among visitors. Here, you can explore markets, historic spots such as the Temple of Literature and One Pillar Pagoda, and savor tasty street food.
Don’t miss the chance to watch a Water Puppet Show, a traditional type of theater popular in Hanoi.
