I recently spent 3 days in Hanoi and wanted to share my itinerary in case it helps other travelers planning their trip.
Day 1:
Explored the Old Quarter, visited Hoan Kiem Lake, tried egg coffee, and watched the weekend night market. The street food around this area was amazing.
Day 2:
Visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, and Train Street. In the evening, I went to a water puppet show and walked around the lake again.
Day 3:
Spent the day café hopping and trying local food like bun cha and pho. Also visited a few quieter neighborhoods outside the tourist area which I really enjoyed.
Overall, Hanoi felt busy but full of energy and character. Definitely one of the most interesting cities I visited in Vietnam. 😊
