Begin your morning with a hotel pick-up and transfer to the historic Ba Dinh Complex, the political and cultural heart of Vietnam. Visit Ba Dinh Square, where President Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on 2 September 1945.
Continue to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum (outside visit when closed), one of the country’s most significant landmarks, before visiting the iconic One Pillar Pagoda. Originally built in 1049 during the reign of Emperor Ly Thai Tong, this unique Buddhist pagoda stands on a single stone pillar, symbolising a lotus blossom emerging gracefully from the water.
The tour continues to the Temple of Literature (Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam), Vietnam’s first national university, established in 1070. This beautifully preserved complex is a symbol of Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and long-standing tradition of learning.
After the visit, return to your hotel. End of services.
