About Travel to Hanoi
Hanoi is Vietnam’s most visited destination, partly because it’s a transport hub for visitors to North Vietnam and partly because Hanoi has lots of interesting historical and culutral attractions making the city a tourist destination in its own right. Hanoi is smaller than Ho Chi Minh City and the most popular tourist attractions in the city are locted within two districts of Hanoi which are within walking distance of each other, Hoan Kiem and Ba Dinh Districts.

Hoan Kiem District, popularly known as the ‘Old Quarter’, is the part of Hanoi where most foreign tourists choose to stay overnight. Hoan Kiem District has lots of hotels, bars and restaurants focussed on catering to foreign tourists all tightly packed in series of narrow streets featuring old residential buildings. Hoan Kiem District also has three major tourist attractions:
- Bach Ma Temple
- St Joseph’s Cathedral
- Hoan Kiem Lake
The central point of the second part of Hanoi popular with tourists, Ba Dinh District, is Ba Dinh Square. Ba Dinh Square is the main public square in Hanoi and the location of the Vietnam Parliament Building. Around Ba Binh Square there also a number of important historical buildings that you can visit including:
- One Pillar Pagoda
- Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
- Presidential Palace
To the south of Ba Dinh Square, heading back toward the Old Quarter, are two further historical sites worth visiting: the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and the Temple of Literature. The Temple of Literature was the higher education facility of the Vietnamese Royal Family and government elites from 1076 to 1779. The buildings in the temple are grouped around five courtyards.
