Today, I will recommend the top 10 most beautiful and attractive tourist destinations in Hanoi. You will be in awe when you visit.
1. Ha Noi Old Quarter Is Our First Choice For Top 10 Things To Do In Hanoi List
Although Hanoi has many busy spots, for the people here, the most beautiful is “Hanoi 36 streets”. So only here you can feel the difference between the daily life of people and other places. Each street represents one commodity (Hang Ma, Hang Duong, Hang Thiec, Hang Trong, Hang Bong,…). This is also the paradise of countless delicious dishes, which are popular Pho, bun cha, hot rolls.
2. The Second Choice Is Hoan Kiem Lake
Hoan Kiem Lake is located in the middle of the city, like the heart of the capital. This is the first destination that you must visit if you do not want to miss the opportunity to be immersed in the beautiful scenery of the intersection of ancient and modern. Surrounded by the streets of Dinh Tien Hoang, Le Thai To, Hang Khay and shady trees, ancient architectural works of hundred years old.
Coming to this Hanoi tourist destination you can also visit The Huc bridge, Ngoc Son temple in the middle of the lake. Especially on the weekends, the surrounding roads will become a walking city, where many interesting activities attract a large number of people and visitors to experience.
3. Coffee shops along Hanoi’s iconic Train Street
Hanoi train street, in my opinion, is the greatest attraction in Hanoi and number one thing you should experience whilst you’re visiting Vietnam’s Capital City, and one of my top experiences world wide! Here’s everything you need to know about the Hanoi Train Street Schedule to the best cafes you need to visit.
One of my top favourite destinations to travel to; it’s situated right in the heart of the Old Quarter near all the other main attractions; Ho Chi Minh Museum, Street food markets, Hoan Kiem and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.
There’s something exceptionally unique about being ushered into someone’s living-room-turned-café, and witness a train thunder past only inches from your knees. But, I would generally like to reassure you that it’s fairly safe; the time tables are very clear and volunteers (staff?) will clear the tracks minutes before the train comes to ensure everyone is safely tucked away to one side. And yes, it is open again after been closed for a short period! Here’s everything you need to know about Hanoi Train street in Vietnam.
You’re going to get some great snaps for social media, trust me!
4. Ha Noi Opera House
This next Hanoi tourist destination that you should not ignore in 2024 is still a familiar name – Opera House. The Hanoi Opera House is a cultural and artistic statue of the city where special performances take place. Here you will enjoy a variety of arts from Tuồng, Chèo, Cải Lương, … If you want to visit inside you have to buy a package ticket of 400,000 VND. This is probably quite inconvenient for anyone who just needs to visit, but if have much time I think you should try the experience.

It is considered to be the first university in Vietnam, a place to worship Confucius, scholars and sages of the country.

7. Dong Xuan Market – The Biggest Tradiational Wholesale Market In Hanoi
And it would be flawed if you do not visit Dong Xuan market – the old market in the old town but crowdedly selling many items, from household appliances, clothes, fabrics to famous Ha Thanh cuisine and specialities. Walking around a night market to witness the daily activities of the people, enjoying some delicious dishes or cool milk is great. In particular, you can still buy many things at affordable prices.

It is on the 72nd highest floor of the Lotte Center building. This tourist destination has not stopped attracting tourists. From the Sky Walk position, you can see the panorama of Hanoi city insight.

In the past, this was the exile of thousands of Vietnamese patriotic and revolutionary soldiers, both physically and mentally. Visiting the prison, you will see with your own eyes many valuable documents and artefacts reflecting the political prison life of our country under the French domination. To be more grateful for their merits.
