In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Hanoi’s famous Old Quarter, where centuries-old streets are lined with bustling markets, traditional shops, and local artisans. Browse handicrafts, textiles, ceramics, and regional specialties before enjoying a peaceful stroll around the picturesque Hoan Kiem Lake.
