Great for families

Took the kids to Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and they loved it. Plenty of space, lots to see, and reasonable prices. Will come back.

Crowded but unforgettable

Yes it's busy, but Imperial Citadel of Thang Long is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.

Better than expected

Honestly thought Imperial Citadel of Thang Long would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Hanoi.
