Book Hanoi hotels

Can’t decide between architecture and history, temples and churches, pho and a good show? Vietnam’s capital is a thousand years old and, appropriately, has about that many attractions. Check out Hanoi hotels on lastminute.co.nz, and you can have all of these things, and more.

Things to Do in Hanoi

Drop your stuff at your Hanoi accommodation and get acquainted with the city with a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake. This body of water is home to an (alleged) thousand-year-old turtle and delicious coffee shops serving up egg coffee—don’t be weirded out, it tastes like tiramisu! Once you’ve got your energy, head to Than Long Water Puppet Theatre to see these 1.5-m dolls in action.

If you need to replenish some brain cells after the previous night, the Temple of Literature awaits. Contemplate your life choices at the “Well of Heavenly Clarity”, though it probably won’t help you remember your night. Either way, this ancient temple of Confucius is sure to teach you some great quotes for your next date.

Getting To & Around Hanoi

Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) is 25 km north of the city centre. City buses are easy to use and efficient, but you can book a shuttle directly to hotels in Hanoi for the price of a tall coffee. Even better, the airport’s metered taxis are cheap and convenient, so you can save your bargaining skills for the markets. Once you’ve dropped your bags, it’s time to try out the cyclos. These three-wheeled bicycle taxis are a roller coaster of fun. Or just walk. It’s the best way to see the sights!

Say goodbye to your worries (and your co-workers). This graceful, dignified city will make you forget how down-to-the-wire this holiday was—and with the Hanoi deals you’ll find on lastminute.co.nz, you’ll never have to admit it. Got some extra time? Check out our Ho Chi Minh accommodation too, and complete your Vietnam tour!
