Great Value Holiday Packages to Hanoi - A Vibrant City Brimming With History

Vietnam’s capital Hanoi is one of the country’s largest cities, so there’s plenty to do and see here. It’s bustling with street vendors on almost every corner and come evening, cocktail bars and nightclubs are open way into the night. Meals, luxury accommodation and souvenirs are all relatively cheap in Hanoi, so if you have champagne taste but are on a lemonade budget, then this is a perfectly suited destination to you, especially as Brightsun Travel offers cheap holidays to Hanoi, saving you more money.

Hanoi has a fascinating history worth delving into. The city’s Old Quarter is over 1,000 years old, which makes it Vietnam’s oldest surviving neighbourhood. It’s home to wall remains of the Hanoi Citadel, the Red River, many small pagodas, temples, and colonial buildings and the famous Hoan Kiem Lake, a symbolic landmark of Vietnam. Hanoi has many other historical attractions including the Museum of the Revolution, the legendary Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum and the Hoa Lo Prison.

There are so many other exciting activities on offer in Hanoi; visitors can watch a performance at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, discover the best views of the city at the Lotte Tower Observation Deck, visit the Temple of Literature or wander a little further outside the city to the Sapa Mountains to discover colourful hill tribes. We also recommend a day trip to Halong Bay whilst in Hanoi. This breath-taking bay boasts dramatic limestone karsts, emerald waters and lush rainforests.
