Things To Do: Old Quarter

When you are in Ha Noi you have to spend a day wandering the streets of the Old Quarter. Start at the northern end of Hoan Kiem Lake and get immersed into the daily life of the Old Quarter. It is essentially unchanged and if you go to Drum St you will find drum makers, Tin St the same.

Vietnam's traffic chaos is as represented here as anywhere but the streets are narrower so be careful. Even the walk steadily across the road is dangerous here. Footpaths are usually full of parked motorbikes so you often have to walk on the road.

Wild_Orchid Thu Dec 9, 2004 06:58 UTC some nice tips here.	worldkiwi Sat Oct 9, 2004 10:04 UTC Thanks for these tips... Hanoi will probably be the start of a trip I hope to make next year through Vietnam!
aussiedoug Thu Apr 15, 2004 04:25 UTC Gr8 intro info Lee. Vietnam is definitely on my wish list & hopefully sooner rather than later. Looking forward to more tips from you.	SPW Thu Apr 15, 2004 01:36 UTC I couldn't agree more with your Pros summary, and we only visited the north.
