Hanoi - The metropolis of history

If your starting point is Hanoi, there are many kinds of experiences a traveller with a family can do to amaze and capture the spirit of this historical city.

We would strongly suggest you see the The Vietnamese Famous Puppet show as part of a day’s activities as it is close by to the famous Hoan Kiem lake, and as it is based on water inside an airconditioned theatre it makes for a welcome reprieve from the heat on a hot day.
 
We would also suggest hiring bicycles to ride around the lake, or maybe taking in a small trip, only 13 kms away to visit the Bat Trang porcelain and pottery village. Please see more information on our blog.
There are of course famous museums around the city and the Cathedral is a main feature in the centre of the city. One museum we know will be fascinating to children and young women is the Women’s Museum , where you can see costumes and models of clothing worn by many of the minority tribes in Vietnam, still living as they did hundreds of years ago. To see these in real life, you will be overwhelmed by their colour and artistry.

For something to capture the creative spirit of your family why not look into the art of traditional mask painting as it is lots of fun and makes for a lovely souvenir to take home with you.

Your stay in Hanoi would never be complete without a walk around the Old Quarter to see and explore the local stalls, and maybe try some street food by sitting on the little red chairs that Vietnam is so famous for.
