Hanoi / Hoan Kiem

Vietnam National Museum of History

Two buildings in the former French Quarter cover Vietnamese history: 1 Trang Tien runs from prehistory to the end of the Nguyen dynasty in 1945, and 216 Tran Quang Khai continues from the mid-19th century to today. One 40,000 VND ticket covers both; it opens 8:00–12:00 and 13:30–17:00 and is closed on Mondays, and taking photos costs an extra 15,000 VND per camera.
