Vietnam Museum of Ethnology
Plan to spend at least 3 hours there if you want to see everything. I didn’t expect it to be so extensive and ended up rushing through some exhibits.
Make sure to take your time to explore the outdoor exhibits. They’re super cool and you might miss them if you rush inside first! I suggest starting outside when you arrive.
Hanoi Hilton
Plan on spending at least 1.5 to 2 hours there. I rushed through and totally missed some cool details.
I think taking a few minutes to read about each exhibit beforehand can help a lot. It made the experience so much richer for me!
Pack some water and snacks. You might not find a good place to chill after the museum, and a quick snack can make all the difference!
Check out the little gift shop at the end of the tour. They have some cool local crafts. Prices are usually better than the tourist traps, too!
Vietnam Military History Museum
Vietnamese Women's Museum
If you want to save a bit of cash grab lunch at the nearby street stalls instead of the museum cafe. The local food is delicious and way cheaper than the sit-down place!
