Learn about cultures and traditions of communities from a bygone era at Museum of Ethnology. The artifacts on display tell a story about their daily life.

Museum of Ethnology is an interesting place kick off your day in Cau Giay. This exhibition of human history is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Hoan Kiem Lake, Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, and Temple of Literature to get a complete picture of what the area has to offer.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (30 reviews)

I would like to recognize the staff at the Aurora Hotel, specifically Ms. Mia, Mr. Tee, and Mr. Andy, who were exceptional. The 3 of them went above and beyond. to make my stay enjoyable. Ms Mia was so pleasant and a joy to talk with, Mr Tee gave me some great ideas in my travel plans as an adventurer, and Mr Andy was really interested in how my day went. The rooms were to my liking, and I asked to be placed on a lower floor, which they were able to accommodate. Any restaurant, massage, excursion, etc, was within walking distance or an Uber/bus ride away. Some friends and I are already making plans to come back, and we will be staying again at this hotel. Thank you again Ms. Mia, Mr Tee and Mr Andy. Sincerely Sharon

9/10 Wonderful! (21 reviews)

Even though there was a problem with the dates we booked aligning with their schedule, Catherine Cruises went above and beyond to ensure we were on an equally luxurious cruise ship with another company to suit our schedule. And rather than just handing us over to another company, they proactively managed the whole thing with amazing communications and care levels. This demonstrates an exceptional level of commitment to customer service - even when we're not even on their boat! We hope to revisit them and experience their service on their own boat soon! Defo a big thumbs up to this company.
