Hanoi, a metropolis not to be missed

What would a trip to Vietnam be without a detour to Hanoi, the heart of the country? This capital city welcomes several million visitors every year. Indeed, there’s so much to discover in this city of over 2 million inhabitants. Must-see attractions include a visit to the city’s many temples, the famous Long Bien Bridge, a stroll down Phan Dinh Phung Street or Ba Dinh Square. For your information, this is one of the country’s landmarks, as it was here that independence was officially proclaimed. For your travels in Hanoi, you have a choice of several means of transport: bus, mototaxi (Xe Om), cab, bicycle, scooter, etc.

Other magical places in Vietnam

We also recommend other magical places such as the Mekong Delta or Halong Bay, which should be discovered as soon as possible to preserve their enchanting character. The ancient imperial city of Hue and its seaside resort are just as impressive, as is the beautiful beach of Nha Trang. The southern city of Ho Chi Minh or Saigon is also worth a visit.
