Coffee, History, and Architecture of the French Quarter
1.Coffee, History, and Architecture of the French Quarter
Spend 2.5 hours walking Hanoi’s French Quarter with an English-speaking guide such as Mina or Dung. Start with Vietnamese coffee in an old French villa, then connect St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the Opera House, Hoan Kiem Lake, the Metropole, and Trang Tien ice cream through a relaxed conversation about French rule, war, architecture, and daily life.
“Mina my guide has been most informative. She took the time to explain in detail the history and architecture of the old quarter. I would recommend people visiting Hanoi to join this guide, it will provide appreciation for the city.”
