Travel Tips

You time is limited so you can only see a few things. I was there earlier this year so here are a few quick suggestions. Spend your first day around the city, check out what the city has to offer. Wake up bright and early and check out the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where you can see his body. Don't worry it is not disgusting either. A tip, there is a huge line up of people who check out his body every day, so the earlier the better. I suggest 7:00am. Also, cameras and cell phones are not allowed. Don't even attempt to bring them in because you will get searched at the entrance. Next, check out the Ngoc Son Temple. It is quite nice, and you may get a change to catch a glimps of the giant sea turtles in the river. Also, if you are interested in history be sure to check out the History Museum and Hoa Lo Prison Museum. Both are excellent! also, be sure to close out your day with a Water Puppet Show. It is quite entertaining and very famous in Hanoi.

Your next days you will want to spend outside the city. Go check out the SAPA rice fields. Absolutely stunning sights. Take the boat trip and try to book one that will let you stay at a local village where you can enjoy some traditional Vietnamese culture.

On your last day. go check out Halong Bay. You can do some hiking, sight seeing, or if the weather is nice, you can go swimming. However I should warn you that the water isn't the cleanest. So, I passed on the swimming. I did take a cruise down the Delta River though. A nice relaxing three hours.

At the end of each trip outside , you will be returned to your hotel at about 7pm. You can do some shopping or check out it's night life. If you like to party, I should warn you that bars in Hanoi close by 11:00 PM. There is one place called the CC Club. It's quite good and has live entertainment, but drinks are quite expensive by Vietnamese standards approximately US. 3-4 dollars each. A tip is to chill out at a Bai Ahoy! They are all over Hanoi and dirt cheap. A glass of beer is only 1500 Dong, which only 15 CENTS each. WOW!!

There are a lot of things to see and do around Hanoi. My only advice is not to keep yourself trapped in the city, unless you know where you are heading next. Source(s): Experience.
Other Travel Tips

a whore house
The Hilton.
You can spend around 1 full day to visit the town including : Hochiminh Mausoleum, One Pillar Pagoda, Fine Arts Museum, Temple of Literature, Museum of Ethnology and the Lake of the Restored Sword and the Old Quarter of Vietnam鈥檚 capital. You can enjoy the Old Quarter by cyclo ride ( 1h30' is enough ).

The second: you can go to Halong Bay in early morning. Enjoy the journey through the rich farmlands of the Red River Delta and the scenery of rice fields, water buffalo and everyday Vietnamese village life. Arrive in Halong take a boat trip for a 4 hours cruise on the emerald green waters of the Bay (famous with among the 3,000 spectacular limestone islands) Enjoy the seafood lunch on board. Back to Halong for returning to Hanoi. Arrive in Hanoi in the evening.
3 days will not give you enough time for Sapa as it requires a night train from Hanoi to save time and minimum 2 nights to see Fansipan Mountain (tallest in Vietnam), Cat Cat Village or Ban Ho Village, etc.

You may want to see green fields in Ninh Binh (a few hours by car or train from Hanoi) and sit relaxing in a boat on the river to Kenh Ga hot spring. This will take one full day from you.

After the first day of city tour to all the temples and tourist sites in the city, you still can go to Huong Pagoda or Halong Bay the next day. It's best if you can stay one night in a boat in the Bay to see the sunrise and sunset, to enjoy fresh seafood and forget all about the modern things.
