Hanoi Pocket Precincts

A Pocket Guide to the City's Best Cultural Hangouts, Shops, Bars and Eateries. A handy pocket-sized guide to the best food, drink and sights to see in Hanoi.

Hanoi is a picturesque mix of the old and the new, with the fading grandeur of its French colonial history juxtaposed against modern architecture. It's a city where early-morning tai chi is followed by the rush of noisy mopeds as they cruise up wide, tree-lined boulevards; and old-style street food vendors are nestled alongside high-end boutiques and shopping malls. In a compact, light paperback format perfect for slipping into your back pocket, Hanoi Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city’s most interesting cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences.

Divided into separate precincts, each section lists the best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area, across 9 precincts covering the four main districts of urban Hanoi. In the centre there's Hoàn Kiếm, which contains the Old Quarter crammed with elegant shophouses and temples; to the south there's the fashionable nightlife and shopping district of Hài Ba Trưng; to the west there's Ba Đinh with its mix of French colonial villas, modern skyscrapers, squares and parks; and to the north you'll find genteel, upmarket Tây Hồ.

This handy pocket-sized guide also includes suggested field trips outside Hanoi, including an overnight stay in Hạ Long Bay, as well as maps of the four districts of inner Hanoi.
