Regional Info:
Hanoi is the capital city and second largest city in Vietnam. It is often described as an intriguing mix of East and West where European France meets Asia. Having survived the years of war Hanoi is now emerging as an exciting and developing city. There is plenty to see, do and experience in Hanoi with numerous museums, temples, parks and wartime historical sites, theatres and art galleries. Street food must be experienced and there are hundreds of street vendors plying their trade (some better than others it might be said!) plus a variety of other entertainments such as theatres, cinemas, bars, restaurants, clubs, shops and more shops! The city has a hot, humid tropical climate throughout the year and if it becomes too much then you are perfectly placed to escape to a cooler climate via the international airport.
