Things To Do: Old Quarter
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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.

     Thanks for these tips... Hanoi will probably be the start of a trip I hope to make next year through Vietnam!

     I couldn't agree more with your Pros summary, and we only visited the north.
