Vietnam 3 Nights

Arrival at Hanoi International Airport, transfer by English-speaking driver to the hotel. Free time in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, located in the north of the country, east of the Red River. The origin of its name has undergone several changes throughout history, and currently means "The city between two rivers". Considered one of the main cultural centres of the country, with a rich French-style heritage, the city preserves an 11th-century imperial citadel that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accommodation.

Breakfast. Today we will explore Hanoi, considered one of the few Asian cities with tree-lined avenues, French colonial architecture, peaceful lakes and oriental temples. We will start by visiting the Ho Chi Minh Complex, which includes the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum (exterior) and President Ho Chi Minh's house on stilts. We will then continue to the One Pillar Pagoda, built in 1049 on a single stone pillar by Emperor Ly Thai Tong, who reigned from 1028 to 1054. We will then visit the Temple of Literature, which was Vietnam's first university and is dedicated to Confucius. We will then head to Hoan Kiem Lake, the soul of the city, where we will admire the surrounding landscape, including the old quarters and the statue of King Ly Thai To. Afterwards, we will take a panoramic cyclo pousse ride through the Old Quarter of Hanoi, also known as the 36-street district, since it was once known for the craftsmen who lived there and for the workshops that were there. Finally, we will head to the Tran Quoc Pagoda, located on a small peninsula in Ho Tay (West Lake), known as Lotus Flower, which always surprises its visitors with its poetic beauty and historical values. It is the oldest pagoda in Hanoi, with more than 1,500 years of existence. Today, the pagoda is a place where visitors seek inner peace, immersing themselves in the harmony of natural beauty and ancient architecture. Return to the hotel and accommodation.
