What travellers say about Hanoi
Santiago VL12 November 2026
5.0
An absolute must-see cultural gem in Hanoi! Attending a traditional water puppet show is a wonderfully unique experience that transports you straight into Vietnamese folklore, featuring brilliant live musicians and master puppeteers who bring the wooden figures to life right on the water. It is truly spectacular to witness how beautifully these centuries-old traditions are preserved for audiences of all ages, making it just as enchanting for families with children as it is for adults who appreciate authentic artistic heritage. A wonderfully magical and well-organized performance that you shouldn't miss.

The Hoan Kiem lake in Hanoi is one of the most visited central attractions of the city. The atmosphere is leisurely and relaxing, which makes it an easy-going place to enjoy a nighttime or a daytime stroll, while taking pictures and taking in the views of the streets around, where there are many shops, cafes and restaurants as well as street eateries.

It was a good experience. Though there was no sunset when we visited, watching the city lit up was a good view too. I'd say overall its value for money.

Definitely worth a visit! Catching the double-decker Hop-on Hop-off bus is the best way to see Hanoi's main landmarks in just 70 minutes. Top tip: take a window seat on the upper deck for the best views, take a bottle of water, and hold onto your hats because of the wind!

Hanoi Train Street (Southern section) was an unforgettable experience! Compared to the northern section, it felt more relaxed, less crowded, and had a more authentic local atmosphere. Watching the train pass just inches away while enjoying a coffee was thrilling yet well-managed by the café staff. Definitely the better choice if you’re looking for a quieter and more enjoyable Train Street experience.

Beautiful cathedral and definitely one of the landmarks worth seeing when visiting Hanoi. I came in the evening, and the cathedral looked especially impressive with all the lights on. The old Gothic architecture, stained-glass window and the statue in front give the whole place a lot of character.The area around the cathedral was quite lively, with plenty of people taking photos and enjoying the evening. There are also lots of cafés and places to eat nearby, so it’s easy to include this as part of a walk around the Old Quarter.Worth visiting, and I think it looks particularly beautiful at night.

Visiting Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum was a memorable experience. The site is peaceful, well-organized, and full of historical significance. Watching the respectful atmosphere and learning about President Ho Chi Minh's legacy made the visit meaningful. It's a must-see destination for anyone exploring Hanoi and Vietnamese history.

One of the places that best reflects the spirit of Hanoi is undoubtedly "36 Phố Phường," the 36 streets of the Old City. This area has been the center of trade and daily life for centuries; each street was once dedicated to a different craft or product. For example, Hang Bac (Silver Street) is known for its jewelers, Hang Ma for its paper decorations, and Hang Dao for its textiles.
According to visitor reviews:
- Positive: The historical texture of the streets, the colonial-era buildings, and the vibrant atmosphere are very impressive. Street food, coffee culture, and the night market are best experienced here. You can encounter a different surprise around every corner.
- Negative: The crowds and motorcycle traffic can sometimes be tiring. Prices in tourist areas are a bit higher than in other parts of Hanoi.
In short: 36 Phố Phường is the heart of Hanoi. Wandering here is not just about shopping, but also about feeling the history and culture of the city. Getting lost in the streets, trying different flavors, and observing daily life are the most authentic parts of the Hanoi experience.

Nice aquarium with some older, large fish. They have plenty of room and look well cared for.
