After living in Hanoi for almost two years, I wanted to share some of the places I always take my family and friends to when they visit.
In this three-day Hanoi travel guide, we explored the busy streets and small cafés of the Old Quarter, tried some of the city’s best egg coffee, visited the Temple of Literature, wandered around Hoan Kiem Lake, found hidden bookshops, and ended our days around West Lake at sunset.
This is a more relaxed itinerary for anyone visiting Hanoi for the first time – with local food, cafés, a few places that are easy to miss, and plenty of time to simply enjoy the city in between.
