Worth every penny, book your tickets online then show up to pay for the seat and watch the show.
The puppets have been performing in water for hundreds of years, and there is even a live orchestra. This is a must when in Hanoi!Activities

One of the best dinners I have ever had! Very affordable, and cheap beer.
They give you a plate of meat and veggies, then you grill them yourself. You also get a plate of fresh bread to use to eat with the meat and veggies.Activities

A nice new spa, in very nice hotel. It is very fancy, but still very affordable.
We did a foot massage that came with tea, and a snack at the end. Hot stones were used, and very comfortable stylish massage rooms.Activities

Good little corner to have a beer and watch the hustle of Hanoi pass by as you drink.
Draft beer was only 15,000 Dong, but was sometimes a little warm. Chair were great because they were bigger than you average little stool that is so often found in Hanoi.Activities

Super popular corner in Hanoi where everyone drinks beer.
Super crowded and busy, try to find a spot and have a beer. It is so crowded, and a little more expensive than other places to have a beer in Hanoi, but worth the experience to have just one beer.Activities

Great for shopping for little trinkets, and clothes. Also nice to walk around shopping and eating with no car or scooter traffic.
Market goes from 7pm to Midnight Friday and Saturday. Usually it was closing down by about 11pm, so arrive before then. All types of cheap stuff for sale from trinkets, souvenirs, and clothes.Activities
