Hanoi
A capital of lakes, tree-lined boulevards and a thousand-year-old quarter that still wakes before dawn.
- Best season
- October to April
Hanoi rewards the slow walker. Morning tai chi by Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple of Literature in afternoon light, a bowl of pho on a low stool in the Old Quarter. We plan your days around the city's rhythm, not against it.
