Meet at the Fallen Heroes Statue, opposite The Huc Bridge and Ngọc Sơn Temple. Please look for our guide wearing a visible name tag with the red Free Walking Tours logo, your starting point for stories that bring Hanoi to life.

Take in the charm of Ngọc Sơn Temple and walk across the iconic The Huc Bridge. Along the way, hear the legends of Hoàn Kiếm Lake, enjoy the calm waterfront atmosphere, and catch beautiful photo moments, especially in the soft light of sunrise or sunset.

Step into the lively heart of the Old Quarter at Tạ Hiện Street, Hanoi’s famous “Beer Street.” This energetic lane blends tradition and modern nightlife, filled with street culture, local chatter, and the unmistakable buzz of the city after dark.

Pause at O Quan Chuong, one of Hanoi’s best-preserved city gates from the 18th century. Standing proud amid the Old Quarter, it’s a powerful reminder of Hanoi’s former defenses and the layers of history that shaped the city’s streets.

Visit Thanh Hà Wet Market, where locals shop for fresh herbs, vegetables, meat, and seafood. Colorful, fast-paced, and wonderfully non-touristy, it offers a real glimpse into everyday Hanoi—authentic sights, sounds, and aromas included.

See Đồng Xuân Market, Hanoi’s largest indoor market, and feel the city’s trading spirit from the outside. From clothing to local snacks, the surrounding area is always lively, perfect for understanding how Hanoi moves, sells, and lives.

End at the legendary Long Biên Bridge, a historic steel bridge spanning the Red River since the early 1900s. Often nicknamed the “lying Eiffel Tower,” it’s one of Hanoi’s most iconic symbols, weathered, photogenic, and full of stories of resilience through time.
