Step back in time as you visit the oldest pagoda in Hanoi, a 1,500-year-old sanctuary perched peacefully on a small island on the eastern shore of West Lake. Beyond its ancient gates, you'll experience a profound sense of tranquility, where the majestic, time-worn architecture blends seamlessly with the shimmering lakeside landscape. Once the Buddhist heart of Thang Long under the Ly and Tran dynasties, this sacred site offers a serene escape from the city's bustle, inviting you to connect with Vietnam's deep spiritual roots.

Embark on a deeply moving journey through the Ho Chi Minh Complex, a sacred space dedicated to the 'Father of the Nation.' Your visit begins at the grand Mausoleum, an architectural marvel where the great leader rests in eternal peace. Following this, you will wander through the lush, tranquil gardens to reach the President’s Stilt House. It was here, amidst the rustic simplicity of a traditional wooden home, that Uncle Ho lived and steered the country's destiny until his final days. This experience offers more than just history; it provides a profound glimpse into the legendary humble lifestyle and the unwavering spirit of a man who dedicated his entire life to the freedom of Vietnam. NOTE: with departure days on Monday and Friday, the Mausoleum Management Board will carry out maintenance of the mausoleum, you will visit only outside of Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, stilt house, and One Pillar Pagoda.

This is the most recent yet probably the largest and undoubtedly the most interesting museum in Hanoi and Vietnam. There are both indoor and outdoor sections, while the in-housed exhibition is particularly informative, the outdoor display and activities make the museum stand out from the rest. There are several houses modeled after the traditional architecture of ethnic minorities, especially those who live in Northern and Central highlands.

NOTE: On Monday, the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is closed, instead of the Vietnamese Women's Museum.

Als alte Schule von Thang Long und erste Universität Vietnams gilt der Literaturtempel als altes historisch-kulturelles Erbe, das Touristen ein tieferes Verständnis für die langjährige Kultur und Tradition Hanois vermittelt.

Erbaut im Jahr 1899. Die Franzosen hielten hier hauptsächlich politische Gefangene fest, aber auch solche, die auf ihre Verurteilung am nahegelegenen Gerichtshof warteten, sowie amerikanische Piloten, die abgeschossen und als Kriegsgefangene gefangen genommen worden waren. Die Piloten nannten es sarkastisch das „Hanoi Hilton“. John McCain wurde hier während seiner fünfeinhalbjährigen Kriegsgefangenschaft mehrmals festgehalten.
