Hanoi on a Tricycle - May 2027
Don't miss this chance to explore Hanoi during a leisurely cyclo ride. Hop onto the rickshaw early in the morning and travel to Hoan Kiem Lake, the first destination of you trip, which is located in the historical center of the city. Your next destination is Hanoi's West Lake, the biggest lake in the capital and a popular destination in the city among expats.
Stop to see the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Presidential Palace of Vietnam. Take pictures and cycle around the lake before heading for the Tran Quoc Pagoda, after which you travel to the Temple of Literature, the first college in Vietnam and a place dedicated to Confucius.

Next, you can choose between the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, home to the artefacts representing Vietnam's numerous ethnic groups, and Hoa Lo Prison, which was once used by the French to hold political prisoners. Both these places will provide you with the chance to learn more about Vietnamese culture and history.
You also have the option of watching a 45-minute water puppet show or enjoying the fascinating lonah circus (own expense). You will be taken back to your hotel at around 12:00 pm, when the trip comes to an end.
