Tips from the community

Look one way and there’s a USSR-style mausoleum holding the remains of revered Ho Chi Minh. Look another and you’ll spy an incense-smoking Buddhist shrine. Take one turn and you’ll be lost in old guild markets where car batteries and lightbulbs and spices all spill from the stalls. Take another and you’ll find bumping backpacker bars and sizzling noodle-soup kitchens. Welcome to Hanoi, the sleepless and enthralling capital of Vietnam. If you ever need a break from it all, mosey across to Hoan Kiem Lake, where joggers move past the handsome 18th-century temples of Jade Island.
