Upon your arrival in Hanoi

The most convenient option for getting to the Hanoi city centre is by taxi, which takes around 45 minutes. Local shuttles and public buses are also available, stopping at several different points in the city to get you to where you need to be in between 60 to 90 minutes.

A brief introduction to Hanoi

Boasting gorgeous architecture, remarkable history, and delicious local cuisine, Vietnam’s capital city is truly a feast for the senses.

We recommend starting your trip with a stroll through the French Quarter - an area known for its colourful colonial buildings. The Hanoi Opera House and National Museum of History can also be found in the area, alongside modern hotels and renowned restaurants. While you are here, you will be able to sample Vietnamese specialities, such as seafood spring rolls and sugar cane shrimp. Be sure to pair your meal with a strong yet sweet Vietnamese coffee.

A 15-minute walk away from the French Quarter, you can find the Old Quarter. This area is considered to be the commercial heart of Hanoi, and also has several historical and cultural attractions such as the One Pillar Pagoda and the 1,000-year-old Bach Ma temple. Here, you will also find the Dong Xuan market, the perfect place to pick up a trinket or authentic Vietnamese souvenir.
