Big win for Vietnam’s capital! 
According to the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards 2026 – Best of the Best Destinations, Hanoi has soared to #2 in Asia, beating out heavyweights like Bangkok, Siem Reap, and Tokyo, and earning an impressive #4 spot worldwide.
Tripadvisor highlights Hanoi for “aging well” — beautifully preserving its atmospheric Old Quarter and French colonial architecture while continuing to grow as a modern city. With over 600 temples and historic landmarks, including iconic sites like Hoa Lo Prison, Hanoi’s deep history is woven into everyday life.
In 2025 alone, Hanoi welcomed more than 33.7 million visitors, including 7.82 million international travelers — clear proof that the city is having its moment.
