The ancient streets, long-standing relics, traditional craft villages and unique festivals have created a unique identity, attracting all visitors from near and far. Experiencing Hanoi's culture and heritage is not only a journey back in time, but also an opportunity for you to deeply feel the beauty of the Vietnamese soul through each house, street corner and simple stories in the daily life of Hanoians.

One of the highlights is the organization of a tour to visit the relics in Ha Mo (O Dien commune) - an ancient land with strong cultural and historical imprints, closely associated with the formation of Thang Long - Hanoi. At the same time, the "South Thang Long - Hanoi Heritage Road" route is designed to connect a series of typical destinations in terms of architecture, history and culture, giving visitors the opportunity to go back in time to explore the ancient beauty of the land of thousands of years of civilization.

Not only stopping at heritage factors, Hanoi tours also expand to community tourism with many close and authentic experiences. In My Duc commune, the craft village tourism model is being effectively exploited, combining activities such as visiting traditional villages, enjoying local cuisine and interacting with local people. In addition, the agricultural tourism program in Tich Loc commune is also a new highlight, bringing visitors the experience of farming, harvesting agricultural products and learning about the process of creating traditional agricultural products - contributing to enriching the cultural experience map of Hanoi.

2. Join the night tour "Tran Vu Bell"

On the evening of May 28, 2025, the launching ceremony of the night tour "Tran Vu Bell" - "Touching the sacred, Living with the legend" took place at the Quan Thanh Temple National Special Relic (Hanoi). The tour was developed by the People's Committee of Ba Dinh District, the Management Board of the Quan Thanh Temple National Special Relic in coordination with researchers and travel agencies; expected to be put into operation and welcome visitors from August 2025.

As a highlight of the Hanoi tour, the "Tran Vu Bell" program at Quan Thanh Temple brings a unique experience to visitors with the combination of ancient spiritual space, traditional music and modern sound and light effects. Here, visitors not only admire the sacred place in the heart of the capital but also have the opportunity to enjoy elaborately staged art performances, contributing to honoring the cultural values of Hanoi and creating an unforgettable impression in the hearts of viewers.

3. Explore the “Subsidy Street”

Besides familiar destinations such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Temple of Literature or President's Mausoleum, Hanoi tours today also impress with products bearing the mark of creativity and local culture.

A typical example is Truc Bach Street, which has been "dressed in a new coat" with the image of a Subsidized Street, recreating Hanoi in the 80s through sidewalk cafes, Phoenix bicycles and trading shops - creating a lively space for tourists who want to explore old Hanoi.

Equally unique is the experience at “Train Car No. 6 – Leng keng di gia”, which simulates the old tram that was once a symbol of the capital’s transportation in the memories of many generations. This is an ideal stop for those who love Hanoi’s urban heritage.

In particular, if you are looking for cultural experiences in Hanoi associated with nature and national identity, visit Ban Mien (Ba Vi commune), where there is a tour of the Dao people's traditional medicine village. Here, visitors will learn about the quintessence of traditional medicine, directly participate in the process of making medicine and immerse themselves in the peaceful mountain and forest space.

Along with product innovation, Hanoi is actively promoting regional connectivity to expand the experience space for tourists. Many river tourism routes are being developed to connect with localities such as Hung Yen, Bac Ninh and Hai Phong, taking advantage of inter-provincial transportation as well as the unique cultural values of the Red River Delta. This is an attractive option for those who love privacy, flexibility and want to explore the North in a new way - a trend that is being prioritized by the younger generation when choosing tours to Hanoi and its surrounding areas.
