Walk to the hum of local traffic and curious tourists in Old Quarter, the business district and downtown hub of Hanoi that dates back to the 13th century. Bearing the names of the businesses that once stood there, the quarter's narrow streets teem with cafes, bars, temples, shops, teahouses, and stalls selling French and Vietnamese foods. Watch a water puppet show, plant yourself at a sidewalk cafe to drink a local beer, or bargain with a smile at shops and street food stalls. Plan to see Old Quarter and other attractions that appeal to you using our Hanoi trip planner.

I love this area, there is so much going on lots of shops, cafes, bars and places to eat. Every Saturday the road is blocked off for a different event each week! Very family friendly and fun

A lovely place to hang around. You'd meet lots of people just hanging there. Evening time is the best time to feel the coolness of this place. Definitely a must visit place.
