Stay another day in Hanoi to uncover the city’s deeper cultural layers and rhythms, beyond the usual tourist path. An extra day not only eases jet lag but also opens up opportunities for experiences that cater to personal passions.
Vietnam’s capital is a delight for the senses. From its famously chaotic motorbike traffic to the fresh tastes of its cuisine, there is no city quite like it on earth. And the longer one stays, the more wonders the city reveals.
A typical introduction to Hanoi – covered in a two to three night stay- includes a walk through the atmospheric old quarter, a visit to Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum and historic house and perhaps a tour of one of the city’s remarkable museums.
One more day in the city allows for time not only to recover from jet lag but to also truly appreciate the rhythms of local life, the hidden corners and cultural nuances that are overlooked by most quick visits.
From culinary secrets to other encounters that reveal the true essence of Vietnam life, EXO’s Hanoi experiences deliver a more profound, genuinely local experience.
