Hanoi Old Quarter

Hanoi's Old Quarter is a living historic district of 36 streets, each traditionally specializing in a particular trade, from silk to tin to traditional medicine. The maze of narrow streets dating from the 15th century is packed with shop-houses, street food vendors, local cafés, and small guesthouses, creating one of Southeast Asia's most atmospheric urban environments. The evening street food scene around Hàng Bè Market and Bùi Viện Street reflects Hanoi's vibrant culture.
