Озеро Хоанкьем и Старый квартал

Da Nang to Hanoi is about an hour and twenty minutes in the air. The thousand-year capital opens at Hoan Kiem Lake, with the Turtle Tower standing on the water and the Old Quarter’s thirty-six streets right beside it.

At weekends the roads around the lake close to traffic and the district goes on foot. The Temple of Literature and the major museums are all within walking distance or a few minutes by car.

This is the easiest leg to add for international guests transiting Noi Bai before or after the show — no reversing your route.
