Better than expected
Honestly thought Old Quarter would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Hanoi.

Great for families
Took the kids to Old Quarter and they loved it. Plenty of space, lots to see, and reasonable prices. Will come back.

Crowded but unforgettable
Yes it's busy, but Old Quarter is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.
