Hanoi questions
Is three days enough for Hanoi?
Three days covers the main central sites. Factor in extra time for traffic between districts and early closures at the mausoleum.
Do I need to book the water puppet show ahead?
Book Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre tickets online or at the box office the day before. Evening performances often sell out.
How do I get from Hoan Kiem to West Lake?
Use Grab for the 20-minute ride or rent a bicycle near the lake. Public buses run but add 30 minutes in traffic.
What is the entry cost for Temple of Literature and One Pillar Pagoda?
Entry to the One Pillar Pagoda is free. It's next to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, so visit straight after.
