Editor's Choice: Hanoi

Hanoi’s historical depth and cultural vibrancy are showcased through sites like the 19th-century Neo-Gothic Saint Joseph Cathedral and the remnants of Hoa Lo Prison. Explore the city’s military history at the Military History Museum or witness the traditional art of water puppetry. For unique urban experiences, walk along the narrow Train Street where tracks run inches from doorsteps, or visit the bustling Long Bien wholesale market at dawn. The 65th-floor Lotte Observation Deck and the expansive West Lake provide contrasting views of the city’s skyline and natural landscape.
