A capital with tremendous character, Hanoi is exotic and hectic. For decades, bicycles were ubiquitous but civilisation played quite a role and Hanoi short after became a city of motorcycles. Surprisingly, road crossing requires a protocol and nobody waits for vehicles to halt. Simply ignore their existences and keep marching, the drivers will find ways not to crash into you.
On a more touristy side, there are numerous war-related places including Ho Chi Minh Museum. On the way to an amusing Water Puppet Theatre, rest your legs by the shore of legendary Hoan Kiem Lake and watch the locals gather. In the Old Quarter, Hang Gai and Hang Bong are excellent for silk, custom tailoring, lacquerware as well as good value souvenirs. Wishing to support the local artists? Hanoi offers throngs of art galleries and no harm done browsing those striking paintings even if you do not intend to ship them home.
