Bat Trang Ceramic Village, located about 13 kilometers from Hanoi’s Old Quarter, is Vietnam’s most famous traditional pottery village with a history of over 700 years. Nestled along the Red River, this charming village is renowned for its handmade ceramics, ranging from everyday household items to beautiful works of art.
Visitors can explore narrow alleys lined with pottery workshops, watch local artisans skillfully shaping and glazing their products, and even try making your own ceramic piece on a potter’s wheel. The village also offers a local market, traditional houses, and friendly villagers who proudly preserve their craft through generations.
A visit to Bat Trang offers not only a glimpse into Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage, but also a hands-on, memorable experience of local life and creativity in the Hanoi countryside.

Just across the iconic Long Bien Bridge, only a few minutes from Hanoi’s Old Quarter, lies a peaceful countryside area that feels like a world away from the city. The Long Bien countryside is home to lush guava gardens, vegetable farms, and banana plantations stretching along the Red River.
Here, visitors can experience the authentic rural life of Hanoi, meet local farmers, and learn how they grow seasonal fruits and vegetables using traditional methods. The fresh air, green fields, and warm hospitality make it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A visit to Long Bien’s gardens offers a true “hidden gem” experience — where you can enjoy scenic views, taste fresh guavas right from the trees, and capture stunning photos of Hanoi’s countryside charm.

No trip to Hanoi is complete without tasting the city’s legendary Egg Coffee — a unique blend of strong Vietnamese coffee topped with a rich, creamy foam made from whisked egg yolks, sugar, and condensed milk.
In the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, cozy cafés tucked away in narrow alleys offer the most authentic cup of this iconic drink. Sip your warm egg coffee while watching the rhythm of Hanoi’s street life — a perfect way to slow down and feel the city’s soul.
This experience is not just about coffee, but about Hanoi’s culture, creativity, and charm that you can taste in every cup.
