Full Itinerary 1 Day Tour

Pick up at the hotel in Hanoi, we will have a full day exploring some of the most exciting museums in Hanoi. We first visit History Museum which is behind the Opera House. Here we will have a short stop outside the theatre, considered one of the most beautiful French-style buildings in the city. On arrival at History Museum which is housed in French colonial style, our Museum-guide will show us the history of Vietnam from prehistory to the present.

Continue to the Women Museum, one voted among the best 10 things must-see sites in Hanoi by Tripadvisor, the museum house more than 1000 exhibits, photos, and objects that show the role of Vietnamese women from the past to the present, in the war and their daily life. The next museum is the Fine Arts Museum which first opened in 1966 and also is one the most important museums in Hanoi that house the country’s contemporary arts like paintings, sculptures, and traditional arts. With a little luck, we may see one Art Exhibition which is regularly operated in the museum.

After lunch in a restaurant near the museum, we will drive to the Museum of Ethnology, which is widely acknowledged as the best in the country and has an extensive display dedicated to Vietnam’s 54 Ethnic minority peoples. The last museum on our tour today is the ‘Hoa Lo Prison Museum’. Hoa Lo is also known as the ‘’Hanoi Hilton’’ and was where former US presidential candidate John McCain was incarcerated for over 5 years. We end our tour at around 4.30 at the hotel.
