Hanoi - Old Quarters

If you want to see the heart of Hanoi, you will definitely need to drop by this area.
The Old Quarter has the original street layout and architecture of old Hanoi. Each street had merchants and households specialized in a particular trade, such as silk traders, jewellery, etc.
The area is famous for its small artisans and merchants, including many silk shops. Local cuisine specialties as well as several clubs and bars can be found here also.

The structures are all old but with character!
