Hanoi Highlights Half-Day Tour By Bicycle
Hanoi, Vietnam
Trip Type: Bike & Mountain Bike Tours
Duration: Flexible
Hanoi was founded in 1010, and became the official capital of an independent Vietnam in 1954. Today, ancient crumbling buildings dating from the 11th century lie scattered among grand French colonial residences, while shrines and monuments to Vietnam's first president, Ho Chi Minh, sit in the shadow of modern high-rise buildings. The streets of the Old Quarter preserve age-old customs, where trade takes one back half a century, and temples, pagodas and monuments reflect the historic character of Vietnam. A perfect way to see and explore this part is by bicycle and this tour does exactly like that.
