Hanoi

There is no denying that Hanoi is a city with distinctive character, be it the tall and narrow buildings, the flurry of noise to the wafts of delicious street food.

Made up of five distinct districts, this capital city has a fascinating mix of old and new. At its heart is the historic and renowned Old Quarter, often referred to as “36 Streets” – a commotion of narrow streets once arranged by trade. Many will also come across the peaceful Hoan Kiem Lake, the tree-lined boulevard of the French Quarter and the West Lake District, a fashionable new hub with exclusive luxury hotels.
