Walking Vietnam April 2026 issue: A stroll through the Old Quarter of Hanoi

This is a historical district that represents Hanoi with its nearly 1,000-year history. It is not registered as a World Heritage Site, but it is protected as a designated heritage site by the Vietnamese government and strict restrictions are placed on building renovations and landscape design. As a result, buildings from the French colonial era and narrow alleys remain, and the old town has been carefully preserved. Many shops still carry traditional crafts such as silk textiles and silverwork.
On weekends, a night market transforms into a pedestrian paradise, where people enjoy food stalls, shopping, and street performances. It is a lively area that is popular with visitors throughout the day and night, making it one of the most popular walking areas in Hanoi.
