Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital and second-largest metropolis, is the country's political, economic, and cultural hub. Hanoi is a historic metropolis with traditions dating back over 1,000 years.

How many days should I spend for a tour to Vietnam & Laos

For a short trip (6 – 8 days), you can visit the three most popular places in both countries: Hanoi, Halong Bay (Vietnam) and Luang Prabang (Laos).
