Hanoi City Walk (English): the heart of Ba Dinh – from Chu Van An to Cua Bac – FULL

THIS  WALK IS NOW FULL. PLEASE RSVP FOR THE WAITNG LIST. THANKS

This walking tour gives an overview of the changes to Hanoi during the French colonial period in Vietnam, which lasted more than six decades. By the late 1880s, the French controlled Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, collectively known as Indochine Français (French Indochina).  We touch on the development of the education system, town planning and architecture (including that of the political and diplomatic centre) as well as other eclectic information regarding past and present Hanoi . Starting at the back of Chu Văn An school we make our way to Hanoi’s iconic Ba Đình Square and focus on the past and present lives of some important government buildings. We stroll the surrounding avenues of embassies, up to Điện Biên Phủ and Hoàng Diệu street ending our tour at Cửa Bắc (north gate) and Cửa Bắc Church in Phan Đình Phùng street.

Place:   West Lake side – on Nguyen Dinh Thi street not far from Thanh Nien street – exact meeting point will be sent to those who are on the walk

Max:  8 people

NB This walk is an extra long one which normally lasts 3 hours – there is a natural place to break the walk 3/4 of the way
