Start the morning with a walk to the Northern Gate of the ancient citadel, a gargantuan fortress in the heart of the city. Stroll along leafy Phan Dinh Phung Road, in the shade of the ancient dracontomelums trees lining one of Hanoi's most romantic boulevards. Admire the magnificent French-colonial villas along the way before heading to Quan Thanh Temple. After exploring the street stalls, set off along a quieter alley and take a short break at a local restaurant, sampling Pho Cuon, a delicious snack similar to fresh spring rolls. Wrap up this captivating tour of Hanoi with a bike ride. Equal parts transportation and travel experience, these traditional bicycle rickshaws move at a leisurely pace that is perfect for photos and slow-moving sightseeing. Sit back and relax whilst weaving through some of the Old Quarter's busiest streets and end the tour with lunch at a local restaurant.
