Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We kick off the tour at St. Joseph’s Cathedral, a neo-Gothic landmark where you’ll hear how Christianity first entered Vietnam—and how it fits into the country’s spiritual landscape today.

Stop 2

Next stop: the Hanoi Opera House. A symbol of French colonial influence, it shows how European architecture shaped Vietnamese buildings—and how the French Quarter stands apart from the maze-like charm of the Old Quarter.

At 186 Specialty Coffee, dive into Vietnam’s vibrant coffee culture. You’ll learn how beans are roasted, try your hand at it, and of course—sip on some freshly made Vietnamese coffee and other popular local flavors.

Stop 4

We cross Long Biên Bridge, the first steel bridge over the Red River—built by the French, scarred by war. It stood strong through both the French and American resistance, and still carries the soul of Hanoi.

At B-52 Lake, you’ll spot the wreckage of a downed American B-52 bomber—left in the water as a bold reminder of Hanoi’s fierce air battles and the strength of Vietnamese defense during the war.

At the B-52 Victory Museum, you’ll see aircraft wreckage and relics from the air war, and discover how Vietnamese soldiers outmaneuvered one of the most advanced military forces on Earth.

The correct location is Cua Bac relic, which is 2-minute walking distance from Cua Bac Church, also known as The North gate, the last gate standing among the 5 gates of the Imperial Citadel. You'll see the remaint of the legendary Imperial Citadel which remains almost complete intact, with 2 canon shots visible on it's construction.

At Quan Chưởng Gate, you’re passing through the last surviving gateway from Thăng Long’s ancient city walls. Built in 1749 as Đông Hà Môn and later renamed to honor a heroic commander who resisted the French, it still rocks the original three‑arch design, a watchtower, and even an 1881 stone stele warning against abuse of power—and was officially preserved as a historic monument in 1994.
