Day 1

Welcome to Hanoi

Welcome to Hanoi

Widely acknowledged as one of the loveliest cities in Asia, this one-thousand-year-old city offers you something that is totally different from other Asian cities. Hanoi still retains a small-town provincial charm and unique blend with its French legacy: wide, tree-lined boulevards, parks, grand villas and an artistic, café society.
