Hanoi Old Quarter Cultural Exchange Centre
Sight4.6 · 10 127≈ 2 hFree entry809 m from the center
Hanoi's Old Quarter between Hoan Kiem Lake and the citadel is a maze of narrow streets known since the 11th century as the '36 streets of trades'. Each was once reserved for one commodity — silver, silk, paper, bamboo — and street names still remember it. By day: motorbikes, street food and shopfronts; on weekend evenings the lanes turn into a night market. Start at the lake and drift deeper: egg coffee, bun cha and pho wait in alley cafés.
