One thing’s for sure, Hanoi is one of Vietnam\u2019s premier destinations to visit. Here, you’ll find a stark contrast between ancient architecture and modern buildings. Amazing museums are scattered around the city, including the important Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, the Vietnamese Women’s Museum located near the Old Quarter, and the charming complex of the Temple of Literature.
