Sometimes an artwork can affect you so much that you just have to study its background. See if the staff are available to chat about the works at the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Museum.
Sometimes it's the biggest and best exhibits that stand out. Other times it's an under-valued object sitting in a darkly lit corner. Keep an eye out for both at the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Hanoi War Museum, the Hoa Lo Prison Museum and the Vietnam Revolution Museum.
One of the gauges of a good show is often how powerful the applause is when the curtains go down. See the audience rise to their feet at Hanoi Opera House, the Vietnamese National Tuong Theatre, Thang Long Ca Tru Theatre and the Vietnam National Tuong Theatre.
Hun Tiep Lake, Tay Ho and Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52 are some of the best places for nature buffs to spend time outdoors.
If the fast-paced energy of city life is wearing you thin, recharge your batteries in one of the local green spaces. Thong Nhat Park, Lenin Park and Ly Thai To Park are lovely spots to kick off your shoes and relax.
Quite often, the easiest way to get to know the locals is by hitting the shops. Make sure you drop in at Vincom Center, Trang Tien Plaza, Dong Xuan Market and Hom Market.
Travel back through the mists of time at Presidential Palace, Ba Dinh Square, the National Museum of Vietnamese History and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. These time-weathered sites have lots of educational stories to tell.
If you're interested in different religions, you ought to visit St. Joseph Cathedral, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Ngoc Son Temple and the Tran Quoc Pagoda.
It's time to improve your Mexican wave and work on your singing voice. Come and show your support for either of the local teams, the Vietnam National Football Team and Viettel FC, at My Dinh National Stadium.
Backpackers and shoestring travellers can rest easy. Budget rooms await at the Heart Hotel and the Golden Luxury Hotel. These digs are proof that great service doesn't have to break the bank. But if you'd rather live a life of leisure and luxury while you're here, the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi or the Fraser Suites Hanoi might be more to your liking. Just sit back, relax and let the expert staff do their thing.
