Hanoi is an excellent choice of destination, and it’s definitely possible to see the city in two days. I would recommend staying in the city centre to minimise travel time and maximise your sightseeing time each day.
The best way to see Hanoi in two days is to start the hop on hop off bus tour. You’ll be taken through the key sights in the city with the option of getting on and off whenever you like. Hanoi is famous for its ancient architecture, so what better way to get a whistlestop tour than by bus. Make sure you don’t miss the perfume Pagoda – a variety of Buddhist temples built into the rock and the Dong Xuan market where you can buy souvenirs and try the local street food.
If you’re not a fan of bus tours, I’d highly recommend that you book a walking tour or something that will get you fully accustomed to the city.
After the first day, you should look back and go back to any places you may have missed or visit anywhere that looked interesting. You could see an attraction or book onto a local food tour.
