Every morning, at Lang Bac Mausoleum, there is a flag salute ceremony at 6 am (summer) or 6:30 am (winter). Watching the moment the morning sun shines on the red flag with  a gold star is beautiful and proud.

7 a.m .: After attending the flag salute ceremony at Lang Bac's Mausoleum, move to Sword Lake . Visit the Turtle Tower, Ngoc Son Temple, The Huc Bridge,... the entire "brand identity" of Hanoi. Because the time is still early, the view of Hoan Kiem Lake is still not crowded. Walking by the lake is the best!

Another option that is loved by many tourists when visiting the capital is to buy  Hanoi double-decker bus tickets to listen to explanations about each place or take virtual photos with enchanting photo angles on the bus.

9 a.m. – 10 a.m.: This will be  when  the streets start to get more crowded. Visit  Hanoi Cathedral, the hottest virtual living place in Hanoi. This is an early 19th-century French architectural work, located between the Cathedral and Nha Chung streets. If you go on weekends, you will see the church open for believers to pray. Don't forget to enjoy the combo of lemon tea and sunflower seeds!

1.2 Lunch: Eat vermicelli

11 a.m. – 12 p.m.: The stomach starts to rumble. In addition to pho, Hanoi vermicelli is also a famous traditional dish. Fragrant barbecue on charcoal is very addictive. Hoan Kiem District is the "culinary heart" of the capital, let's visit  the  cuisine of the old town right away!

13h30.: Hanoi has many traces of the resistance period, typically Long Bien Bridge  - a historical witness. To carry out colonial exploitation, the French colonialists built the Long Bien Bridge across the Red River. Today, this bridge is the most beautiful photo location in Hanoi.

1.               Serein Cafe & Lounge – 16 Tran Nhat Duat is one of the cafes with the most beautiful view in Hanoi. You can enjoy a fragrant cup of coffee with a direct view of Long Bien Bridge. Take a few minutes to rest and admire the scenery !

3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.:  The Hanoi one-day trip continues with Tay Ho district. The place is known as the most romantic place in Hanoi, especially West Lake.

1.               First of all, you must visit Phu Tay Ho -  the temple of Princess Lieu Hanh. Remember to light the merit incense to pray for a lucky and peaceful year

2.              West Lake is  a familiar dating spot for young people in the capital. You can buy a few sweet beef bars on the sidewalk, set up a stall and enjoy the West Lake breeze. Perhaps you will be captivated when the afternoon falls, the sunset here  is extremely beautiful. If you are stressed or tired, just watch the gentle sunset here.

3.              If it is a hot day, choose a café with a direct view of the lake. Along the shore of the lake there are many beautiful cafes for you to live virtually.

4.             On weekends, young people in Hanoi often come here to play SUP on West Lake, a favorite summer sport . Or go to West Lake Water Park

1.4 Dinner: Dinner – Old Town

Playing all day until night must be very tiring, right? If anyone is too tired, eat dinner and then go back to  rest, see you in Hanoi another day. But, if anyone has enough  energy, recharge your energy to continue "playing". The 1-day Hanoi travel schedule is indispensable for evening activities.

17h - 18h.: Hanoi is the "capital" of delicious, tonic and cheap  snacks.What you need to do is prepare yourself with an empty stomach and a full wallet. If you go in a group, enjoy the sidewalk grilled beef stew is both full and very delicious. This is also one of the "wardrobe" dishes of the capital's young people. The price for this grilled dish will range from 150,000 VND to 200,000 VND/person. Halo would like to suggest some places to grill beef around the Tay Ho area, Hoan Kiem:

1.               Gam Cau Grilled Beef - Gam Cau Street, Hoan Kiem District

2.              Spring Grill – 47 Ma May, Hoan Kiem District

3.              Grilled beef ribs – 200 Pho Duc Chinh

8:00 - 9:00 pm.: Hanoi is at its most beautiful at night, when  the streets are shimmering with lights, especially the Old Quarter. Hurry up to Ta Hien  neighborhood to immerse yourself in the nightlife! Drinking draft beer, sipping hot fried spring rolls and chatting a few sentences will forget the way home. Church Street or Phung Hung Mural Street is also wonderful.

10 p.m .: We 've been traveling all day, so let's go home and rest. This is also the end of the 1-day Hanoi travel journey.

2. What is the most beautiful season to travel to Hanoi for 1 day?

If you intend  to travel to Hanoi for 1 day, first choose beautiful weather to enjoy. The climate in the capital is divided into 4 distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Each season has its own interesting twist.

But, Hanoi calls autumn the most beautiful season, the most romantic and wonderful season. As the last showers of summer pass, the period between August and November is the perfect time to explore  the Capital in a new coat. The yellow and red color of the fallen leaves, the air is extremely fresh and pleasant.

Dry and cold is when Hanoi enters winter . Wearing a warm jacket on a day trip to Hanoi with friends is equally fun ! I definitely have to do a few more Foodtours to fill my stomach because Hanoi cuisine is very delicious. The end of January to March is also the traditional Tet holiday, the spring travel season of Vietnamese people. It will drizzle outside, accompanied by a little chill but sweet and gentle.

3. Transportation in Hanoi

A 1-day trip to Hanoi must have strong  support from transportation. Most students will prefer to travel by motorbike. Or more economically, you can explore Hanoi by bus. Cycling is also an option but you should save energy.
