Explore Hanoi, one of Asia’s oldest and most charming cities, blending traditional Vietnamese architecture with French colonial elegance. Visit Ngoc Son Temple on Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum (open mornings only; closed Mondays, Fridays, and 15 June–15 August for maintenance), the One-Pillar Pagoda, the Museum of Ethnology (closed Mondays), the Temple of Literature, and the bustling Old Quarter. End the day with a one-hour pedicab ride through downtown streets, followed by a traditional water puppet show—a unique Vietnamese art form dating back to the Ly Dynasty (1009–1224), where puppeteers perform behind water-filled stages. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
