Recommended itinerary

Days 1-2

Hanoi

Upon arrival in Hanoi, you’ll appreciate the warm welcome at the luxurious Melia Hanoi, a central yet surprisingly quiet city retreat. You can venture out to explore the narrow streets of the Old Quarter and savour authentic Vietnamese cuisine like Phở and Bánh mì at one of the local eateries. We suggest starting the day early with a peaceful visit to Hoan Kiem Lake, where you can witness locals practising Tai Chi. Afterwards, we recommend delving into the capital’s rich culture by exploring key attractions, including the historic Temple of Literature and the Water Puppet Theatre to witness a performance that brings Vietnamese folklore to life through captivating puppetry.
