Before you walk Hanoi
Three things worth knowing before your first morning here, all of which we repeat on almost every tour.
- The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is closed on Mondays and Fridays, and shuts by 11:00 in the cool season and 10:30 in the hot one. Plan Ba Dinh for the early morning.
- The Old Quarter's weekend walking street closes to traffic from Friday evening to Sunday night — the easiest time to walk with children.
- Wear shoes you can walk five kilometres in and clothes that cover your shoulders and knees if pagodas are on your route.
