The Place
Hanoi, Vietnam
City introduction
Pho at dawn, French boulevards, and the Old Quarter's motorbike tide. Hanoi is Vietnam's thousand-year-old capital: a Old Quarter of 36 merchant streets, French colonial facades, lakeside morning tai chi, and a street-food scene that turns every sidewalk into a restaurant. It's the gateway to Ha Long Bay and Sapa, and one of Asia's best-value cities.
