A must-visit is the Vietnamese National Museum of Fine Arts which offers mesmerising exhibits of Buddhist art, silk work, lacquered paintings and a jaw-dropping depiction of the goddess Guan Yin who has a thousand eyes and a thousand arms.
Explore the Old Quarter and visit one of the oldest temples in Hanoi. Bach Ma temple is in the heart of the Old Quarter, and while it has undergone reconstruction, it’s original structure was built in the 11th century.

Travel Tips
Bargaining is a way of life in Vietnam.
