Your experience
Stop 1
Visit the famous Train Street, one of the city’s most unique and photogenic locations in Hanoi. You will sit at a local café along the narrow railway while learning about daily life in the neighborhood by our local guide. Witness the train pass inches from nearby homes and cafés while enjoining a refreshing drink and taking memorable photos.
Stop 2
Visit St. Joseph's Cathedral, Hanoi, one of Hanoi’s oldest landmarks, known for its neo-Gothic architecture inspired by Notre-Dame Cathedral. The cathedral is in the heart of the bustling Old Quarter.
Stop 3
Take a peaceful walk around Hoan Kiem Lake, also known as the “Lake of the Returned Sword,” in Hanoi. In the early morning, locals gather here to stretch, jog, and practice tai chi. The area becomes especially charming at night, when the surrounding trees and Turtle Tower are beautifully illuminated.
Stop 4
Next, slow down with a handcrafted Vietnamese drip coffee at Dream Bean Café. A local barista will introduce Vietnam’s coffee culture, local beans, and the traditional brewing method known as cà phê phin. Continue to Dong Xuan Market, Hanoi’s busiest market, where stalls overflow with spices, fabrics, local snacks, and souvenirs. It's a perfect place to browse for something unique or simply soak up the energy of the Old Quarter.
