Continue to visit to the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first national university founded in the 11th century, renowned for its well-preserved traditional Vietnamese architecture and its tranquil courtyards.

Enjoy lunch at local restaurant.

Then, explore the fascinating Museum of Ethnology (closed on Mondays), which houses a diverse collection of traditional costumes and artefacts from Vietnam’s 54 ethnic minority groups, then return to central Hanoi for a walking tour through the historic Old Quarter, renowned for its ‘36 streets of 36 wares’ dating back to the 13th century, and conclude your day with a lively water puppet performance before driving back to your hotel.
