Discover Vietnam’s cultural capital
Hanoi, established as Vietnam’s capital in 1010 by Emperor Ly Thai To, has been a cultural and political hub for over a millennium. The city, originally named Thang Long (“Ascending Dragon”), is home to historic sites like the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, founded in 1070. The Old Quarter, with its 36 ancient streets, reflects Hanoi’s trading heritage, while French colonial architecture adds a unique layer to its identity. Hanoi’s history is marked by its role in Vietnam’s independence movements, notably during the 20th century. Landmarks like Hoa Lo Prison and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum narrate stories of resilience and revolution. Today, Hanoi thrives as a cultural melting pot, blending tradition with modernity. This guide explores Hanoi’s rich heritage, top attractions, and amazing tours to help you plan an unforgettable visit.

Spring in Hanoi offers a pleasant climate of 20-24 °C, blooming flowers, and comfortable conditions for outdoor activities like cyclo tours, food walks, and visiting cultural landmarks.
