Small Group - Morning Hanoi Walking Daily Tour

Hanoi Old Quarter--When I ask myself about my favorite things in the city I’m living and working at, the over-1000-year-old capital of Vietnam, the first thing that came up in my mind was “Phố Cổ” – Hanoi old quarter . Not many places in Vietnam you can see such rapid, globalized development growth on a rich, conservative cultural background. And certainly, there are not many places in Vietnam that have people who come to find modern entertainments, to simply have a blast and people who come to enjoy the peacefulness and to reminisce the old memories. Hanoi Old Quarter can be so different at different times. Yet there is one thing for sure – the quarter has many things to offer, to everyone.

So if you are seeking for a unique and thorough experience in Hanoi in general and in old quarter in particular, this article might be a window for you to understand the Hanoi life a little better.
