Hanoi is one of the most charming cities in Southeast Asia. Years of war and political isolation have combined to keep the Vietnamese capital off the tourist map – at least until fairly recently. Travelers will be surprised and delighted to find that Hanoi is probably the most beautiful capital city in Southeast Asia, combining indigenous architectural treasures with fine examples of French colonial architecture. The people are friendly, the food is excellent.
