Hanoi holds many treasures both found on every must-do list, but there are several can't-miss attractions and activities just a little off the beaten path. You won't have to travel far for a uniquely Hanoian experience. First visit the famous Chau Long Market, then take your wares back to the kitchen to prepare a meal, perhaps street food, traditional Hanoian dishes or coastal cuisine. If you don't want to cook, a five-hour tour of street food and other venues ends with Vietnamese tea and dessert.
