City tour at Vietnam’s capital from the top of a City Sightseeing, is an opportunity to learn & experience more about city’s fascinating history.

Boasting a rich cultural heritage with Chinese, French and Southeast Asian influences, Hanoi is a bustling, developing city which is trying to make up for many years that were lost to war. Take our city tour to discover Hanoi’s fascinating past and explore its hidden gems.

An essential stop on your city tour is the Hanoi Cathedral which is nestled in the chaotic Old Quarter. Stroll through the windy streets, visit the Bach Ma Temple and maybe grab some typical Vietnamese street food before heading to Hoan Kiem Lake, a peaceful escape from the frenetic city. Walk the gorgeous grounds and learn about the legend of the Hoan Liem Lake, which means “Lake of the Returned Sword”.

Make your way to a handful of temples scattered throughout the city. First up is Quan Thanh, a beautiful Taoist temple honouring ‘Tran Vo’ the ‘God of the North’. Another great hop-off choice is Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest Buddhist temple in Hanoi. Surrounded by lush greenery the main pagoda is quite an impressive sight standing at 15 metres above the ground.

You cannot leave the city without visiting Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, which was built to honour Ho Chi Minh, the former Prime Minister and President of Vietnam. Hop off the bus and pay your respects to “Uncle Ho”, before wandering through the botanical gardens.
