Day 1: HA NOI - ARRIVAL (Nil)
Upon arrival, our driver will welcome you at the airport, pick up and transfer to the hotel for check in.
As the oldest continuously developed area of Vietnam, Hanoi's Old Quarter has a history that spans 2,000 years and represents the eternal soul of the city. A city with a blend of Parisian grace and Asian pace, an architectural museum piece evolving in harmony with its history, rather than bulldozing through like many of the region’s capitals. Hanoi is where imagination becomes reality.
Have your free time to discover the city in the evening by your way. Overnight in Hanoi.
