hanoi
Vietnam’s capital for nearly 1000 years offers the perfect blend of culture, architecture, cuisine and the arts.The intriguing mix of east and west with both Chinese and French influences  enhances an already vibrant Vietnamese culture.
Retaining much historical appeal Hanoi displays her charms readily. Explore the chaotic, tangled web of streets in the Old Quarter that date back to the 13th century. Each street was originally named after the wares traded there such as Silver Street and Silk Street, the names remain even though the merchants have long since gone. Leave your map behind and allow yourself to be drawn into the cultural heart of Hanoi.

Visit the Ho ChiMinhMausoleum and adjacent museum plus the Temple of Literature, which was founded in 1070 and established as the country’s first university six years later.The VietnamMuseum of Ethnology is dedicated to the history and culture of the 53 ethnic minority hill tribes while Hoa Lo Prison built by the French at the turn of the 20th century is now a museum highlighting the struggle of the Vietnamese people.

The gentle atmosphere of this lovely city is enhanced by the lakes, which abound here. Hoan Kiem Lake is in the heart of the city and the perfect placeto steal a moment of peace or take an early morning stroll and see the graceful movements of the traditional tai chi practice.
