If you’re planning a trip to the Vietnamese capital, read on for the perfect itinerary on how to spend 3 days in Hanoi.
To say that Hanoi has had a tumultuous history is a vast understatement. French colonialism, Japanese occupation, and the war with the United States all resulted in massive damage to the city.
After the devastation of the American War (as it’s known here), Hanoi once again became the capital of a unified Vietnam.
These days, it’s a bustling capital city that’s home to nearly 8 million people.
The city known as the Paris of the East has a lot to offer travellers. With 3 days in Hanoi, you can check out the museums, parks, lakes, markets, and much more.
In between all of the sightseeing, you can fill up on mouth-watering Vietnamese food.
The country’s famous coffee will keep you going during the day, while its dirt cheap draught beer will fuel your nights out.
Now that you know a bit about the city and travelling there, let’s get this show on the road with a Hanoi 3-day itinerary.

How to Spend a Perfect 3 Days in Hanoi Itinerary
Strap yourself in and down a couple of Vietnamese coffees for an epic travel itinerary for Hanoi!
Day One
Here’s what I recommend you get up to on your first day here.
Morning – Free Walking Tour
The best way to kick off your 3 days in Hanoi itinerary is joining a free walking tour. Spending a few hours exploring the city on foot is a fun and informative way to start your trip.
Local students lead these tours to practice their English and share their city with visitors. It’s the perfect introduction to the city and a great way to meet people.
There are a few different options for free walking tours. The most popular is the half-day tour of both the Old Quarter and the French Quarter. Tours start at either 9 AM or 2 PM.
While the tours are indeed free, it’s customary to leave a tip for your guide if you enjoy the tour.
Even though the tour will give you your bearings and a good introduction, I highly recommend getting lost in Hanoi’s Old Quarter at some point during your trip!
If you prefer a personal guided tour, check out this one on Klook. It gets rave reviews!
