Experience the Ha Noi capital. Because you haven't lived until...

... you've seen life that blends ancient and modern features. Besides, Ha Noi has many extremely beautiful sights ranging from museums, historical sites to entertainment venues … like Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi Old Town Quarter and they're all worth seeing.

...you've tasted Pho. It's one of the most popular dishes in HaNoi. Don't forget to try other excellent local specialities and street food - a characteristic of Hanoi, like young sticky rice cake, rolls, noodle grilled pork. It's absolutely delicious!

… you’ve watched water puppets in Thăng Long Water Puppet Theatre or at some festival. It opens a window into local culture, and is a fully realised art form enjoyed by young and old. The musical ensemble who bring the stories to life using their voices and traditional instruments.

We're looking forward to seeing you.
