Hanoi

The capital of Vietnam and its second most populous city.

Hanoi is buzzing with energy from sun up to sun down, and all through the night. By day, the streets and alleys are a swarm of cars, scooters, and pedestrians going about their daily activities, jobs, commutes, and family needs. The city’s narrow streets blend its pre-colonial heritage with French colonial architecture, and the Old Quarter particularly is a throng of vendors, tourists, locals, and passersby. By night, the city’s Old Quarter transforms into an LED-lit playground with cafes, restaurants, and bars catering to locals and tourists alike until the late hours.
