Hanoi 11 - 14 May
As the second part of our pre-conference tour, Hanoi offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore a captivating blend of history, culture and gastronomy. Enchanting remnants of French colonial architecture that dot the city's landscape stand testament to a bygone era and give Hanoi its unique streetscapes.

Wandering through Hanoi's charming neighbourhoods, you are transported back in time. The iconic Opera House, with its striking blend of French and Vietnamese architectural styles, stands as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. Nearby, the St. Joseph's Cathedral, a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture, beckons visitors with its imposing spires and intricate stonework.

But Hanoi's history extends beyond its architectural wonders. This city was the epicentre of the Vietnam War, a conflict that left an indelible mark on the nation's psyche. From the famous Hỏa Lò Prison, where American prisoners of war were held, to the historically significant Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, Hanoi offers a poignant glimpse into the country’s turbulent history.
