Explore the Soul of the City on a Hanoi Old Quarter Free Tour

Your Hanoi Old Quarter Free Tour begins at the Tượng Đài Quyết Tử, a historic monument just steps from the legendary Hoan Kiem Lake. From here, your journey through Hanoi’s beating heart begins.

Start by strolling around Hoan Kiem Lake, where legends of a magical sword and sacred turtle still echo through the centuries. The tranquil waters and shaded pathways offer a peaceful introduction to the city’s rich mythology.

Next, admire the iconic Ngoc Son Temple from the outside. Perched on a small island linked by the charming red bridge, it’s a symbol of spiritual life and cultural pride in Hanoi.

Then, it’s time to immerse yourself in the buzzing energy of Ta Hien Beer Street — a lively alley where locals and travelers gather over cheap drinks and loud laughter. This is Hanoi nightlife at its most authentic.

Continue to Ô Quan Chưởng, the last remaining gate of the ancient Thang Long citadel, standing as a quiet but powerful reminder of the city’s fortified past.

From there, we venture into local life at Thanh Hà Market, a true hidden gem where residents shop daily for fresh produce, snacks, and street food — raw, real, and full of flavor.

A short walk away is Dong Xuan Market, Hanoi’s largest and most bustling indoor marketplace. Here you’ll experience the commercial heartbeat of the Old Quarter, where everything from dried goods to souvenirs awaits curious eyes.

Then comes a highlight for many: a walk on the legendary Long Bien Bridge, built by the French over a century ago. With sweeping views of the Red River and the city skyline, it’s the perfect spot to slow down and take it all in.

To round off the experience, we take you to the famous Hanoi Train Street, where daily life happens just inches from rumbling locomotives. It’s an unforgettable glimpse into the rhythm and resilience of Hanoian living.

Along the way, you’ll also explore hidden alleyways, discover old tube houses, and witness the daily street scenes that define life in the Old Quarter — chaotic, beautiful, and full of soul.

Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, the Hanoi Old Quarter Free Tour offers a fresh, fascinating look at the city’s culture, history, and street life. Come curious, walk with a local, and leave with unforgettable stories.
