Hanoi Half Day Tour Afternoon Departure

Overview

Hanoi, a city steeped in history and culture, invites exploration of its many significant sites. The Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, stands as a testament to the nation’s long tradition of scholarship. In stark contrast, Hoa Lo Prison, a former French colonial prison, offers a poignant look into a more somber chapter of history. At the heart of the city lies the tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake, with the picturesque Ngoc Son Temple nestled on an islet, embodying a legendary tale. These destinations, alongside the vibrant Old Quarter and other historical gems, weave together a compelling narrative of Hanoi’s past and present.
