Hanoi

Hanoi, the quiet capital of Vietnam, is a graceful city of lakes, boulevards, leafy public parks, and countless street-side cafes.

Tour this charming capital city, visiting Ho Chi Minh's former residence; the One Pillar Pagoda; the Temple of Literature, Hanoi's most important religious complex and Vietnam's first university; Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple.

Visit Halong Bay, Vietnam's most precious natural wonder, a vast bay with more than 2,000 limestone islets and cruise through the spectacular bay on a private junk or aboard one of the many cruises offering every modern comfort.
