Hanoi Tour Packages

Settled along the banks of northern Vietnam's Red River, Hanoi is the country's capital city and one of the most ancient capitals worldwide. Hanoi is a melting pot of Southeast Asian, Chinese and French cultures, boasting well-preserved colonial buildings, pagodas, unique museums, traditional bazaars and centuries-old historical significance. Discover epic things to do and places to see with Holidify's customisable Hanoi tour packages.

The best time to visit Hanoi is from February to April and September to November, which are Hanoi's spring and autumn seasons with plenty of sunny days. In Hanoi, you can find the UNESCO Heritage Site of Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Vietnam's administrative centre for 800 years, and the 15th-century Perfume Pagoda amidst forests and genteel streams.

It takes two days for a trip to Hanoi. Start your expedition by walking through the historic Old Quarter, packed with narrow streets, tube houses, colonial establishments with street-facing façades and multiple courtyards, local traders and Buddhist temples. Another enigmatic area is the French Quarter, where Parisian-style buildings flaunt ivory-toned columns, balustrades and Gothic domes. Hanoi Opera House here offers live performances and art exhibits.

With Hanoi holiday packages, you can enjoy relaxed cruises of the picturesque Hoan Kiem Lake, where you can spot softshell turtles and elderly monks practising Tai Chi along the candle-lit banks. Ngoc Son Temple sits on a tiny island at the lake's centre. Nearby is the stunning Temple of Literature dedicated to Confucius, West Lake and The Lake of Restored Sword.

Learn more about Vietnam's impactful history with visits to Hoa Lo Prison Relic, Vietnam Military History Museum, Bach Ma Temple, Tran Quoc Pagoda, One Pillar Pagoda, Museum of Ethnology and St. Joseph's Cathedral. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is a must-visit spot, where his body is preserved in a glass case. The sombre structure was remodelled after Lenin's mausoleum in Moscow.

In contrast to the misconception that Hanoi is "conservative", the city has one of Vietnam's most glitzy nightlife and glam shopping districts. Purchase household goods, fashion apparel and sumptuous Vietnamese street food at Đồng Xuân Market, housed in Hanoi's largest Soviet-style building. Some more popular places to see when you travel to Hanoi are the 65th-floor of Lotte Tower Observation Deck, the bountiful Ba Vi National Park and the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre.
