Hanoi marked the start of our three week journey through Vietnam. It was a long journey to reach the city from Bangalore but it was one that we were excited to take. My desire to visit Vietnam was a dream that started out three years before and it just kept coming back. So actually spending three weeks in the country was a dream vacation.

Hanoi was our first stop and we had two days to see the city. To say that we had two days may have been a bit of a stretch because we reached in the evening of the first day. That being said, we were determined to make the best use of our time. I proud to say that we covered a large number of things to do in Hanoi. I’m drawing up our two day itinerary in Hanoi to help others who have a short stop in the city.
