This cathedral is one of the sights remaining from the French colonial time. It was built in 1886 in neo-gothic style and its interior with coloured windows and religious paintings is still the same.

St. Joseph's Cathedral

Constructed by the French in 1896, the prison was taken over by the Vietnamese in 1954 to house prisoners of war. The original guillotine room and stories told by the ex-inmates themselves make this a gruesome but compelling experience.

Located on an island at the north end of Hoan Kiem Lake, this peaceful temple site honoring scholars and war heroes is best known for its preserved turtle corpse which links to the lake’s mythology.
