Botanical Gardens

Escape Hanoi without leaving

What we say:

Located just above the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex northwest of the Old Quarter, the sprawling Botanical Gardens provide an excellent respite from the hue and cry of Hanoi's busy streets.

They're well landscaped, featuring ample foliage to peep at and some cages with exotic birds and monkeys… that we sort of wish weren't even there, but this is Vietnam, and every park has to have a monkey cage. Ample opening hours mean you can find a time to beat the heat in the summer, and you can't beat the price. The entrance is on the northern side of the park, so to get here, find Hung Vuong St, head north, and take a left on Hoang Hoa Tham. The entrance is in the middle of the park on the left.
