5 Historic Walking Areas in Hanoi That You Shouldn't Miss
The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off several former names, including Thang Long, or "ascending dragon," but it hasn't forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison attest. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easily explored by taxi.

They have created a brilliant display made up of wreckages of American and french planes that had been downed during conflicts. There is so much information and the museum is really well laid out. It’s really worth a visit and you could spend hours here. There is also then the flag tower which you can climb the base of which gives an awesome view of the exhibits and the citadel.

In our opinion, a visit to Hanoi is not complete without visiting this area. This is also the spot where Ho Chi Minh declared independence from french colonial rule on Sep 1945. It is easy to spend a couple of hours visiting all the sights, the one pillar pagoda as well sites relating to Ho Chi Minh, the mausoleum, house on stilts and the museum.
