🥰The Beautiful St.Joseph’s Cathedral🥰

🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings 🇻🇳 We visited the St.Joseph’s Cathedral on Nha Chung (Church) Street, it is the oldest Catholic church in Hanoi. It was very convenient to walk from the Old Quarter. This was one of the first structures built by the French colonial government in Indochina when it was first opened in December 1886 and completed in 1888. In spite of the long wars that destroyed major parts of Hanoi, St Joseph’s Cathedral is still in good condition. Today, it is a historical attraction in Hanoi which remains the image of the beauty of the old Hanoi. This Church makes an impression of the ancient beauty of Hanoi and it is definitely a must-visit sight! #timetotravel #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #hanoi #foodie #境外遊

Discover the spiritual and historic heart of Hanoi with this culture-rich itinerary! ⛪️✨ Start your day wandering through stunning cathedrals and finish diving into Vietnam’s legacy—all with seamless organization thanks to your itinerary app reminders (a true game-changer for stress-free travel). Kick things off at the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hanoi (40 P. Nhà Chung). Marvel at the neo-Gothic façade and snap elegant street-view angles as early morning sunlight glows over the spires—perfect for a peaceful intro and striking photos. Next, just a short walk away is the iconic St. Joseph Cathedral (1 P. Nhà Thờ). Swing by between 8:00-11:00 or 14:00-17:00 for dreamy stained glass shots and tranquil garden vibes, especially when the crowds ease (early arrival recommended for solo photo ops). Both cathedrals showcase beautiful architecture and make ideal stops for travelers craving a touch of history or quiet reflection. In the afternoon, head to the Ho Chi Minh Museum (19 P. Ngọc Hà), open 8:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:30 (closed Mondays, Fridays). Wander vibrant halls and capture Insta-worthy moments near the grand entrance and colorful exhibits. Take your time—there’s plenty to digest, so plan about 1-2 hours here. A handy tip: the museum’s timeline-organized displays are especially easy to follow if you’ve got a well-planned calendar to keep track. Precaution: Bring a water bottle and dress modestly for cathedral visits; check opening hours to avoid disappointment (the app reminders are lifesavers here!). #Hanoi #CultureTrail #CathedralVibes #MuseumDay #TravelSmart
