Hanoi In Depth and Ninh Binh Day Trip
Slow down in the Old Quarter, Ba Dinh, West Lake and the museums of the French Quarter, with a day trip to Trang An in Ninh Binh.
More museums and local life than the first-time route: the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, Fine Arts Museum, Women's Museum and History Museum, plus Tran Quoc Pagoda and Quan Thanh Temple by West Lake, Dong Xuan Market and the colonial architecture of the French Quarter. On Day 3, visit the ancient capital of Hoa Lu in Ninh Binh, take a boat ride in Trang An and climb Mua Cave. Stay in the French Quarter, where evenings are quiet. This trip suits travelers who love history and culture and prefer a slower pace.
The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is closed on Mondays. Ninh Binh's rice fields turn golden in May–June, but it gets hot.
