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

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

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