Highlights

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - Located in Ba Dinh Square, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is one of Hanoi’s most frequented landmarks. It serves as the final resting place for Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam’s most revered leader, affectionately known as ‘Uncle Ho’. His body is preserved in a glass case here, despite his wishes to the contrary.
Presidential Palace Historical Site - Built in 1900 by French architect Auguste Henri Vildieu, the Presidential Palace in Hanoi was meant to be Ho Chi Minh’s official residence. However, he chose to live in a traditional Vietnamese stilt-house instead. This three-story, mustard-yellow building boasts 30 rooms designed in colonial French architectural style, an orchard, a carp pond, and a 91-meter long boulevard surrounded by lush gardens.
Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) - Hoan Kiem Lake is a serene escape in Hanoi, attracting both tourists and locals who seek a break from the city’s hustle and bustle. The tranquil lake encircles Ngoc Son Temple, a pagoda situated on a small island in its center.
Ngoc Son Temple - Built to honor the 13th-century military leader Tran Hung Dao, famed for his valor against the Yuan Dynasty, Ngoc Son Temple draws many visitors. The temple also pays homage to scholar Van Xuong and Confucian master Nguyen Van Sieu. Situated on Jade Island, the temple is accessible via the iconic Huc Bridge, a charming scarlet-painted wooden bridge of classical Vietnamese design. The pagoda is guarded by two towering posts adorned with Chinese inscriptions. The lake and temple are among Hanoi’s most famous spots for relaxation and sightseeing, offering a perfect place to observe local life.
Temple of Literature & National University - Often regarded as one of Hanoi’s most beautiful tourist spots, the Temple of Literature was originally established in 1070 as a university dedicated to Confucius, scholars, and sages. The well-preserved building is an excellent example of traditional Vietnamese architecture.
Vietnam Museum of Ethnology - The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi provides insights into the country’s 54 different ethnic groups, aiming to preserve cultural heritage and promote socio-cultural diversity.
