In addition, Hostels Worldwide expects also picked Vietnamese Women’s Museum is one of the best destination you should know.

In addition, if you want the perfect photograph capturing local life in Hanoi, you can’t miss visiting the famous Train Street. “You’ll see women tending to their sail side garden, children playing on the tracks and men using it as a place to sit and relax. Of course when the train is arriving people scatter quickly to their doorways, wait for the train to pass and carry on with their daily activities once again,” Hostels Worldwide added.
