Things to do in Ba Dinh

Ba Dinh holidays bring history to your doorstep, as some of the country’s most prominent museums are right here! Head for the ornate Temple of Literature, one of the greatest examples of early Vietnamese architecture. It was built in the 12th century as a university to honour Confucius. Wander its pavilions and courtyards to discover more buildings added over the centuries by the Ly and Tran dynasties. A short walk away is the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum, where you can learn about Vietnam’s famous leader.

You’ve boned up on your history, so why not check out Northern Vietnam's natural beauty? It’s easy to reach if you snag one of Wotif’s great Ba Dinh car hire deals. Drive 150 kilometres west and you'll be on the edge of Halong Bay, where you can take a boat cruise. Make sure you grab some snaps of the famed limestone karst islands towering over emerald waters.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Shopping is a must on your Ba Dinh holiday, with lively markets, cosy shops and modern shopping centres at your disposal. Silk Street, in the Old Quarter, is the place to go for dresses and housewares. The Quarter's bustling Weekend Night Market is an event in itself, sprawling over several streets every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. Have fun with some friendly haggling over souvenirs and cheap clothes. At the other end of the scale (but only a few blocks south!) lies Trang Tien Plaza, where you can snap up high-end brand names.

Our Ba Dinh deals will leave you tons of cash to spend on Vietnam's famous cuisine. Devour a bowl of the national dish, beef pho it will have you back on your feet after a hard day's shopping. A simple but flavourful noodle soup, the locals love it at any time of day—even for breakfast! Hanoi's fare boasts Chinese and French influences, and the city boasts several fine French restaurants.

Ba Dinh packages aren’t complete without testing the nightlife! Down a few cold drinks, local-style, on plastic stools outside the shops that line Bia Hoi Junction in the middle of the Old Quarter. A laid-back crowd convenes here most evenings. Take in a display of Vietnam's renowned water puppetry, a captivating art form that dates back to the 11th century. And whether you like opera or just pretend to, attend a performance at the Hanoi Opera House. Whatever your musical tastes, it's worth a visit to admire the grand colonial architecture.
