2025 Hồ Hoàn Kiếm Area Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Last year, I joined a tour group to Halong Bay in Hanoi. At that time, I planned to stay in Hanoi's Old Quarter. I love its hustle and bustle and leisure. The most important thing for a staycation is to choose a good accommodation. This time I chose a youth hostel as my accommodation. I am not afraid of noise or heat, so I chose Hanoi Solo Youth Hostel. This youth hostel is new, within a 5-minute walk from the night market, with many bars and late-night snacks, it is very lively, you can boil hot water for making tea, the lazy bones in the public area are very comfortable to lie on, the service staff are great, and the air-conditioning in the room is cool enough. When I have experienced youth hostels with cold air-conditioning, this new and cool youth hostel is great! The breakfast in the youth hostel is great and rich. With such breakfast at such a high price, I doubt whether the youth hostel can make money? All in all, except for the lively rock music at night, everything else is great value. The dumpling noodles near the accommodation are delicious at NT$55,000~ The coconut coffee is delicious~ On the day of check-out, I had to go to the airport. There was a No. 17 bus that took me to the airport in 4 minutes on foot. It was only NT$9,000, which was much cheaper than the No. 86 bus at NT$45,000. It arrived only 20 minutes later. If you have a small suitcase, you should choose a closer and cheaper bus. The daytime, sunset and night views of Hoan Kiem Lake are all beautiful, just as I expected. #Hoan Kiem Lake

I just wanted to share a bit of my experience during my first visit to Hanoi, Vietnam during Tet. I didn’t intend on visiting during Tet, my birthday just fell around that time, but it was a very fun experience. What’s open: 90% of the places I wanted to check out were open, some places only had Tet menus/prices, but most were regular service and pricing. You are bound to find places to eat and dine. It was rarely quiet, except the morning after Tet. The roads were still filled with people and traffic, vendors and shops were still open. Even the clubs/bars/restaurants I went to were still filled with tourists/locals, but not so overcrowded. The lake and the city still had so many crowds of locals visiting temples, taking selfies and gathering with their families. None of the previous posts from people who said that most things would be closed and it’s not a good time to visit did not live up to my experience. It was an amazing culture experience to not only see explore the city but see its celebration of the new year. I honesty would recommend visiting during Tet. 🕰️Business Hours: 22:00 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: convenient/nice 📍Address: 78a Đ.

The decor is changed depending on each occasion and event, very new. I experienced acrylic painting at OUR and it was an interesting experience. The tools and aprons are fully set up. During the painting process, there were always instructors following closely. The day I learned to paint, there were also 2 other people who were quite funny, so the atmosphere was very pleasant and fun. The experience price is 399k/person, including framing and taking home. I tried the croissant and it was very delicious, the new bread was hot and crispy with a fragrant butter flavor. The parking area is spacious, with a place to park cars. One thing to note is that the toilet is separate and you need to ask the staff for instructions and to get the key to go to the toilet.

Hanoi vietnam Love this country love the food too

If you visit Vietnam, you should try egg coffee. I recommend Cafe Pho Co, located on the north side of Hoan Kiem Lake. The entrance is set back and a little hard to find. (As long as you don't miss the sign, you'll be fine) It's in a hidden spot that only those in the know will know☺️ If you order at the entrance, they'll bring it to your seat. The shop has an exotic atmosphere and is very photogenic. The top part of the egg coffee is very sweet, but the bottom part is quite bitter. Drink it wisely☕️ It's right next to Hoan Kiem Lake, so if you get tired of walking around the old town, it's a great place to stop by for a break! #0yentravelNovember

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent I want to meet salt coffee again at the Leica Cafe overlooking Hoan Kiem. Stop drinking coffee alone and come with me to Hanoi Hoan Kiem. Let's walk and have a romantic time together! It's the best. Hanoi

#Sign up for October hotel test sleeper A chain of Japanese puff pastry shops at Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi. The cake didn't look very nice due to the lighting and amateur photography, but it tasted delicious. The type I ate had cream on top, a crispy texture on the bottom, and melted cream inside. The cream was not too sweet but very fragrant. Address: 171 P. Hàng Bông, Hàng Bông, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội 110220 Vietnam

Vietnam, which I visited after a few years, has changed so much. I'm planning to do something here for the last time and have some free time, but will I be able to kill two birds with one stone? I'm also planning to travel a lot.

Hoan Kiem Lake, a must-visit for Hanoi travelers A view of the red bridge during the day and night This is my third visit, and I went out at night with the intention of going to the beer street, but the night view of the lake was fantastic with the unexpected lighting For those who like fast food, there are Lotteria, McDonald's, KFC, etc. nearby, and there is also a world-class pizza restaurant During my 4-night stay, I took a walk along the lakeside every morning for exercise. Since it is by the lakeside, the morning air was fresh, and there were many people exercising, jogging, and doing gymnastics At night, it is adjacent to the beer street, so it is a street for foreign travelers Unlike the apple mangoes in Korea, it really looks like an apple, and the red mangoes are ripe. It is a taste on a completely different level There are also many street vendors who sell it so that you can eat it after cutting it I tried the giant fruit for the first time, and it was good because it was moderately sweet In my personal opinion, there is Dong Xuan Market nearby. There is a wholesale market, so if you meet a good owner, you can feel the happiness of 1,000 won. The street vendors near the lakeside habitually shout 50,000 dong. I bought two mangoes for 30,000 dong and giant fruits for 20,000 dong. Ah~ There is a city tour bus at the entrance of the lakeside, so you can see the tourist attractions. I recommend a small minibus rather than a double-decker bus. It is convenient because it is cheap and only 8 people can ride around the tourist attractions. Tips for visiting the beer street nearby - Be careful of stores that do not display price tags and make menus and solicit customers. They think they are cheap because they are Korean, but they are big ripoffs. You can use it I also wanted to eat rice on my first visit, so I ordered squid and vegetable fried rice, morning glory fried rice, and plain rice, and it cost 285,000 dong. I already had food in my stomach and thought it was a waste, but I couldn't help it On my third visit, I had the same squid and vegetable fried rice, and the pineapple in it was a work of art, and I ate hollow vegetable plain rice with bulgogi, but it cost 160,000 dong ㅠㅠ 120,000 dong is 4 bowls of street food, cheap noodles that I eat in the morning. 6,000 won is not a lot of money, but I hope you don't get ripped off 30,000 dong beef rice noodles, 30,000 dong breakfastㅋ I already miss Hoan Kiem Lake. It's been a week since I've been there I'm planning my 4th visit around August, and it's already an exciting Hanoi trip

#VietnamTravel #Hanoi #Hang BuomCultureAndArtHouse Located at 22 Hang Buom, the CultureAndArtHouse was renovated based on the old Cantonese Chinese Viet Dong Assembly Hall in Hanoi. This was once where Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen stayed. A small corner of ancient Hanoi. The former Cantonese Assembly Hall is similar in design and architecture to other Chinese Assembly Halls I visited in Saigon (but the Chinese community in Saigon is bigger and worships more than here). It is a great place for anyone interested in Chinese literature to come and see. I also highly recommend viewing the paintings on display inside. There is no admission fee, so I highly recommend experiencing it.

The day started with rain from the morning. I thought it might not be a good time to explore Hanoi, but I went to Ngoc Son Temple near the hotel. It is a temple floating on Hoan Kiem Lake that anyone who has been to Hanoi will see at least once. The famous red pier that connects to the temple is very beautiful when lit up, but it is also picturesque even in the rainy and cloudy weather. Above all, these cloudy clouds create a mystical atmosphere and show a very beautiful view that is different from a sunny day. This time, there were few tourists due to the rain, so it was a relaxing and luxurious time. It is a spot that is easy to stroll around even on a rainy day. 🙌 #Hanoi #HanoiTourism #Hoan KiemLake

Hanoi Temple of Confucianism - Imperial College It is a traditional Confucian temple building located on the west side of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. It really subverted my stereotype of the Confucius Temple. Vietnam really planned and protected history very well. It is also a highly recommended parent-child attraction. I feel that the time is not enough to stay there for a whole day😚. The most special thing is the DIY rubbings of the temple's representative features. You can make rubbings based on your favorite temple features, and the museum staff will provide guidance and explanations. They are very attentive and patient. It is really suitable for adults and children to experience together, and the cost is very cheap! A5 size is 200,000 dong and A4 size is 300,000 dong. Many of the introductions inside the Temple of Literature are presented in Chinese characters, which shows that the promotion of Confucianism in Vietnam is really long. Come and experience it with your family and children! The cultural and creative merchandise store in the Confucian Temple is really highly recommended. 😂 The works are really high-quality, very representative, and very Confucian Temple-style. They are great for gifts or for your own use! #Hanoi Confucian Temple-Imperial Academy #Hanoi Hoan Kiem Lake area #Hanoi Family Tourist Attractions

Thang Long Water Puppet Theater in Hanoi Water puppetry is a unique art form, just like Taiwan's national treasure, the Taiwanese opera. You must come and see it with your own eyes. The text in my daughter’s second grade Chinese textbook also talks about water puppets. I must bring my daughter to experience it for herself. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are both necessary😊. It is more meaningful to come and see it on the first day of the new year on 2024/1/1. There are really a lot of people. The show starts in the afternoon but the tickets are only for the evening show. I sincerely recommend buying tickets early during the long holidays because Klook does not sell tickets during the long holidays😅! There are translation machines for rent in various languages ​​at the counter outside the theater. The children really enjoyed watching the performance and listening to the plot with the translation machine😎! #Thang Long Water Puppet Theater #Hanoi Family Tourist Attractions #Hanoi Hoan Kiem Lake Area
