Wandering around lovely plant life is a quick way to improve anyone's day. Explore the displays at Hanoi Botanical Garden and be sure to stop and smell the flowers.
You'll find this showcase of plants in the lakeside ward of Ngọc Hà. If you're on a budget, you'll be happy to hear that it's free. Toss in nearby sights like Hoan Kiem Lake, Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and get ready for an unforgettable day out.
