Destination

A main cultural centre of the country, Hanoi has been the capital of Vietnam for almost a thousand years and maintains its position as the country’s second largest city. Meaning ‘Between Rivers’ or ‘River Interior’, Hanoi is dense with lakes and offers a magnificent blend of traditional Sino-Vietnamese style and French flair.

Hanoian summers, from May to September, are generally warm and humid, while winters, from November to March, can be particularly cold and dry. October is the best time of year to visit this charming and elegant city.

Whether you prefer museums and temples or parks and lakes, Hanoi’s vast collection of historical and cultural sites ensures that you will find something to pique your interest.
