Full Day Exploring Hanoi Group Tour

Hanoi is located in the Red River Delta, in the center of North Vietnam. It is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam and the center of culture, politics, economy, and trade of the whole country. Throughout its thousand-year eventful history, marked by destruction, wars, and natural calamities, Hanoi still preserves many ancient architectural works, including the Old Quarter and over 600 pagodas and temples. Let us join our tour to explore all the highlights in one day.

Your day begins from the central Old Quarter. Embark on a journey to the iconic Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, delving into the life and legacy of the revered leader, Ho Chi Minh, and his profound influence on the nation's history and identity. It was inspired by Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow but incorporates distinct Vietnamese architectural elements, such as the sloping roof. The exterior is made of grey granite, while the interior is grey, black, and red polished stone.

Next, delve into the spiritual side of Hanoi as you visit Quan Thanh Temple and Tran Quoc Pagoda, steeped in ancient traditions and architectural splendor. These sites offer glimpses into Vietnam's rich cultural heritage and religious practices. Depending on the day, you can explore the charming Bat Trang pottery village (available on Mon, Wed & Fri). Delve into the captivating exhibits of the Ethnology Museum (available on Tue, Thu, Sat & Sun). This is the most recent yet probably the largest and undoubtedly the most interesting Museum in Ha Noi and Viet Nam. There are both indoor and outdoor sections; while the in–house exhibition is particularly informative, the outdoor display and activities make the museum stand out from the rest. Immerse yourself in the intricate artistry of Vietnamese ceramics or gain insights into the diverse ethnic groups that call Vietnam home. Step back in time as you visit the Temple of Literature, popularly known as the Ngoc Son Temple, the country's first university. Marvel at its architectural grandeur and delve into the scholarly pursuits that have shaped Vietnam's intellectual landscape for centuries.

Conclude your day with a leisurely stroll through the enchanting streets of the Old Quarter. Discover the stories behind its 36 narrow lanes, each bearing a unique name and history. Experience the vibrant pulse of Hanoi as it seamlessly intertwines its rich heritage with contemporary life. As the day draws to a close, you will find yourself enriched by the timeless allure of Hanoi Capital. From its historic landmarks to its bustling streets, this charming city offers a captivating blend of tradition and modernity, promising unforgettable memories at every turn.
