Hanoi has a long list of sights to appeal to tourists – the Old Quarter with its bustling streets, One-Pillar Pagoda, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum – but to really appreciate the local culture and people; you will want to experience the street food scene. Vietnam's capital has a food scene that completely overwhelms with its mix of tastes and smells, and it is among the most flavourful, healthiest and freshest cuisines in the world. Many of the dishes are fresh and light and draw heavily on chilli, lime juice and herbs.
