Relaxing Day South of Ho Hoan Kiem
Though this day might begin with an excursion outside the city, don’t let it mislead you into thinking it will be rigorous by any means. After a street-side breakfast with the locals, take in traditional craftsmanship at Bat Trang Pottery Village before returning to dine where Obama and Bourdain once did. Partake in specialty coffee, classic dessert and a lakeside stroll while leisurely wandering around Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem neighborhood before ending the day with an indulgent dinner.
