Hanoi is known for its rich history and culture, yet it's also dynamic and modern.
The city has bustling streets filled with motorbikes and street vendors, but also serene spots with beautiful lakes and ancient temples and pagodas.
The Old Quarter, with its shady trees, old French architecture, and lively cafes, is a must-visit for any traveler.
Michelin suggests that if you have just 48 hours in Hanoi, you should explore traditional Hanoi and then spend a day immersing yourself in the city's vibrant life.
