Get lost in Hanoi!

Hanoi is an incredibly atmospheric city for walking, where history, culture, and modern life blend at every turn. It's a city best explored on foot. The main principle: Get lost! And you'll be happy. Hanoi's greatest magic is revealed in its countless alleys (hẻm), where cafes, workshops, temples, and local homes are hidden behind inconspicuous doors. Don't be afraid to turn off the main street. There are must-see places - the Old Quarter (36 streets), the French Quarter, the West Lake area (Tây Hồ) and Truc Bach, the Temple of Literature, the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts. You should definitely try the famous egg coffee. Crossing the road: This is the main quest! Don't stop abruptly. Watch the drivers, plan your route, and walk calmly, confidently, and at a constant speed. The stream of mopeds will pass you. The main thing is not to rush. Don't be afraid of street food! This is often the most delicious and authentic food. Choose places with a lot of locals. Drink bottled water. #Hanoi #Hanoi Opera House #Hang Trong #Yen Phu #Trang Quoc Pagoda #Dong Xuan #Dien Bien
