Quick stop in Hanoi? One spot

Quick stop in Hanoi? One spot you can’t miss is the stunning St. Joseph Cathedral—it’s got Paris vibes with a Vietnamese twist! 🏰✨

Top Spot to Visit:
St. Joseph Cathedral
Address: 1 P. Nhà Thờ, Hàng Trống, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội 100000, Vietnam
Opening Hours: 08:00-11:00, 14:00-17:00 (open year-round)
This neo-Gothic gem is a must for architecture fans or anyone who wants that classic Hanoi photo backdrop. The vibe inside is peaceful and the stained glass is surprisingly gorgeous—it’s easy to see why locals love this landmark. Tip: Arrive right at opening to snap photos without the crowds, and swing by a nearby café for an iced coffee after you soak up the ambiance.

How To Get Around:
The cathedral is smack-dab in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, so it’s super walkable. Use local taxis or Grab if you’re venturing further out—traffic can get wild, so pick walking whenever possible!

Food Tip:
After your cathedral visit, pop around the corner to one of the many cool Vietnamese cafés—try an egg coffee at Cafe Đinh for a proper Hanoi treat.

Destination Tips:
• Dress respectfully when visiting the church (shoulders/knees covered).
• Always carry a bit of cash—many small shops don’t take cards.
• Best weather for walking: November to March (cooler & less humid).
