Hanoi – the thousand-year-old capital of Vietnam – is a harmonious blend of ancient charm and modern life. The city is known for its tree-lined streets, serene lakes, and historical landmarks such as the Temple of Literature, the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, and Hoan Kiem Lake, which is steeped in legend and home to the iconic Turtle Tower. Every alley and corner of Hanoi carries deep cultural significance and a sense of timelessness.
Beyond its historical beauty, Hanoi captivates visitors with its rich and refined culinary scene. Here are a few recommended spots:
• Pho Thin (13 Lo Duc Street): Famous for its stir-fried beef pho with rich, savory broth.
• Bun Cha Huong Lien (24 Le Van Huu Street): Gained global fame after hosting former U.S. President Obama, known for its traditional grilled pork with noodles.
• Che Muoi Sau (Ngo Thi Nham Street): A long-standing dessert shop specializing in sweet, delicate Hue-style chè (Vietnamese puddings).
• Ba Hong Grilled Pork Rolls (Alley 44 Hang Bong Street): A popular street food spot among Hanoi’s youth.
• Giang Café (39 Nguyen Huu Huan Street): The birthplace of the legendary egg coffee – a must-try Hanoi specialty.
Hanoi is not just a destination to explore, but a place to truly experience and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of Vietnamese culture.
