Put your feet up during your downtime as they have got a pretty kick-ass collection of books and magazines to sink your teeth into and kill some time. Not to mention they have free computers to use as well.

The Train Market

Train Market, Hanoi, Vietnam

One of the main attractions that Hanoi is now famously known for are the train lines that run through the residential areas of the city and tourists have flocked to watch trains slowly pass by and the locals quickly moving their market goods off the tracks. It’s so popular now that cafes and restaurants have sprung up along the tracks where you can buy a beer and watch it all happen from the comfort of a chair.

Visit the Ngoc Son Pagoda

If the lake itself isn’t enough to peak your interest, then make sure to visit the Ngoc Son Temple, a pagoda surrounded by the Hoan Kiem lake. The island on which the pagoda is built is known as Jade Island and is accessible by the famous Rising Sun Bridge. Bridge is built out of wood, colored red in a classical Vietnamese fashion.

The pagoda and lake are probably the most famous places in Hanoi. It’s one of those places where you just come to lay down, relax and enjoy the blissful quiet.

Check out the Old Quarter
