What You’ll Experience

French Quarter (Pass By)

Learn about the French invasion period and how it continues to influence life in Vietnam today.
1

Old Quarter

See the divide between the Old Quarter and the French Quarter—where modern life meets heritage, and local culture adapts in its own unique way. We'll wander through some of Hanoi's smallest alleys, uncovering the local life hidden behind the city's fancy signs, and gain a deeper understanding of both Hanoi and Vietnam.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
2

Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake)

Our first philosophy lesson begins with the legend of Hoàn Kiếm Lake in Hanoi—a story that has become a guiding compass for the Vietnamese way of life, mindset, and spirit. It’s also a beautiful spot for photos!
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Hanoi Opera House (Pass By)

We’ll make our way through one of the most prestigious landmarks in the French Quarter—the Hanoi Opera House—to reach a hidden modern coffee shop.

Phố Phan Huy Chú

Tucked between towering buildings, major banks, and luxury boutiques lies a quiet yet vibrant alley, bathed in warm sunlight. Here, we’ll visit one of Hanoi’s modern coffee shops featured in the Michelin Guide. You’ll get to watch the pour-over process—crafted by a specialty coffee brewer—using select Vietnamese specialty beans.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
