Itinerary

Eating on the street is a very typical activity for Hanoians and makes up an important part of the city’s unique culture. From your hotel, walk with our tour guide to the Old Quarter. Our first stop is to taste Pho Bo (beef noodle soup) at a local restaurant. After savouring this quintessential Vietnamese cuisine, visit the wet market and explore the hundreds of weird and wonderful foods for sale, a colourful snapshot of Hanoian daily life. Walk from Hang Be Market to a shop selling many different types of traditional northern cakes such as Com cake (young rice). Next stop is a little “Banh Cuon” shop to see how these are made and to try a few along the way! Leaving the bustling streets behind, your guide will take you to small “tunnel” in Noi Mieu alley to discover lives of residents in the Old Quarter. Take the opportunity to capture this authentic environment with a photo or two – Hanoi is a rapidly modernizing city and what is here today may not be tomorrow. For lunch, stop at a popular restaurant for Bun Cha and crab spring rolls. With a full stomach, go on the hunt for “che” – a typical sweet Hanoi desert. Finish the trip at a café for a traditional egg coffee.
