Hanoi, Vietnam
The best place to start your 3 weeks in Vietnam is in the lively capital city of Hanoi. Here you will be welcomed by the friendly locals and their colorful markets, small temples, little coffee shops, and thousands of scooters. Hanoi is shaped by Chinese, French, and Southeast Asian influences that can be recognized not only by different types of food but also in the architecture of the city’s buildings. The most iconic and authentic area of Hanoi is the Old Quarter where you will stumble upon little coffee shops and food stalls on narrow streets.
