Hanoi is more than a thousand years old and a good place to begin a journey through Vietnam. The capital has its own history to explore, and Ha Long Bay and the scenery of Ninh Binh are both easy trips from the city.

In the city

The Old Quarter is a web of narrow streets, each once known for a single trade, with Hoan Kiem Lake and its red Huc bridge at its centre. Visit the Temple of Literature and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, watch a water puppet show, and try bun cha and egg coffee.

Your trip

Our five nights at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi fly nonstop from Heathrow with Vietnam Airlines, which runs nonstop flights from Heathrow to Hanoi four times a week. Ask our London team about adding time for Ha Long Bay.
