Sightseeing Overview
Many interesting sights are within walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake, the tranquil heart of Hanoi. The lake is a magnet for locals and this is the place to join in a session of Tai Chi in the early morning. A lovely temple, Ngoc Son (on the lake) is reached by a small red lacquered bridge.
The Old Quarter with its 36 fascinating streets bustling with activity is to the north of the lake. A small section of the 'Hanoi Hilton' or Hoa Lo Prison remains on Hoa Lo Street, although most of it was destroyed to make way for an office block.
Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum is popular with tourists and there are a number of visitor attractions close by, including Ho Chi Minh's House and Museum and the tiny One Pillar Pagoda, a lotus-shaped pagoda resting on a single stone pillar rising out of a lotus pool.
Note that all museums throughout Hanoi and Vietnam are closed on Mondays and some also on Fridays. There are currently no tourist passes in Hanoi.
