Wanderlust, FOMO, fernweh. Whatever you prefer to call it, there's only one way to fix it — head to Ba Dinh. No matter what type of incredible adventures you want to have, this Hanoi 'hood has plenty going for it. One of the best things about travelling is the people you meet on the way. And with 1,400,000 locals living in the capital of Vietnam, there's loads of opportunities to gain some new BFFs. From Noi Bai International Airport, Ba Dinh is about 20 kilometres to the south. If you're headed there from the city centre, the neighbourhood is 1 kilometre to the west.
A good deal of this city's attractions are sprinkled near Ba Dinh, and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Hoan Kiem Lake are some of the most impressive. Don't forget to put the Temple of Literature and the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre on your list too. For a different perspective on Hanoi, organise an outing to Hanoi and Lieu Giai, nearby neighbourhoods that are definitely worth a peek.
A few fantastic cultural attractions are waiting for you. Start off at the Red Moon Gallery, the Old Quarter Gallery, the Ha Noi Gallery and the Friendship Cultural Palace.
Take some time out as you potter through the thought-provoking artwork on display at the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Museum. Later, why not grab a coffee from a local café and ponder your time there?
Sometimes it's the most talked about exhibits that jump out at us. Other times it's a neglected gem that's been stored away in a dim corner. Keep a lookout for both at the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Hanoi War Museum, the Hoa Lo Prison Museum and the Vietnam Revolution Museum.
Witnessing a first-rate performance can be a wonderful experience. Reserve a seat at Hanoi Opera House, the Vietnamese National Tuong Theatre, Thang Long Ca Tru Theatre and the Vietnam National Tuong Theatre for an unforgettable night out.
Turn off your phone, disengage from the stresses of modern living and soak up the beauty of nature at Hun Tiep Lake, Tay Ho and Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52.
Whether you're hoping to relax with a book or hang out with some friends, the nearby green spaces are great places to be. Take your pick from Thong Nhat Park, Lenin Park and Ly Thai To Park.
Sometimes the best way to meet the locals is by checking out the shops. Don't forget to stop by Vincom Center, Trang Tien Plaza, Dong Xuan Market and Hom Market.
Presidential Palace, Ba Dinh Square, the National Museum of Vietnamese History and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology have many stories to tell. History nerd or not, you'll be sure to find out something at these time-weathered sites.
Learn all about the region's spiritual aspects at St. Joseph Cathedral, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Ngoc Son Temple and the Tran Quoc Pagoda. These sites are worth checking out whether you're a religious person or not.
No stay here is complete without a visit to My Dinh National Stadium, the home ground of the Vietnam National Football Team and Viettel FC. If it's match day when you're in town, kit yourself out in your favourite team's colours and get set to excitedly cheer them on.
Whether you're looking for a basic room to spend the night or one with all the extra bells and whistles, Ba Dinh has your back. For a great night's sleep that won't break the budget, book in at the Heart Hotel (11b Hang Hanh Street) or the Golden Luxury Hotel (08 Hang Bac St). However, if you'd rather spare no expense on holiday, the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi or the Fraser Suites Hanoi might be more to your taste.
