The bustling old town is filled with flea markets and stallholders, colours, flavours and aromas.

Hanoi Old Town is a vibrant area full of history, heritage and activity. It is one of the city's most visited destinations, where visitors can experience the atmosphere of a past living in the present.

The area is famous for its narrow streets, surrounded by traditional houses dating back to the French colonial era. Each alley has its own unique history and is often dedicated to specific merchandise such as handicrafts, silk, jewellery or ceramics. This tradition dates back to the 11th century, when the area became an important commercial centre.

Beyond the architecture, the Old Town is filled with old pagodas, temples and historic buildings that offer a glimpse into the spiritual and social life of the past. Important monuments, such as the White Horse Temple (Bach Ma Temple), bear witness to the long history of the area.

The market and daily life is one of the main features of the Old Town. Open-air markets and street vendors fill the streets with colours, aromas and flavours, creating a unique combination of cultural experience and commercial activity. Here, you can sample local delicacies such as pho and banh mi, or discover unique items and gifts.

Old Town is not just a destination, but an experience that combines the old and the new, offering visitors the chance to feel the pulse of Hanoi and connect with its cultural heritage.
