Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, brings together centuries of history, traditional architecture and vibrant urban life. Its Old Quarter, bustling markets and cyclo tours offer visitors a glimpse of local culture, while Hoan Kiem Lake and the city’s famous egg coffee are among its highlights. Hanoi also serves as a gateway to northern Vietnam’s natural attractions, including UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay and the Trang An Landscape Complex. Turkish Airlines currently operates 10 weekly direct flights from Istanbul to Hanoi using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, with plans to increase the frequency to 11 weekly flights on Jan. 5, 2027.
