Travelers' Choice Awards is an annual award to recognize destinations, accommodations and restaurants with excellent service quality from the world's largest online travel platform Tripadvisor.

This year, Hanoi was honored in three important categories of the award, including 2nd place in the Top 25 cultural destinations in the world, 7th place in the Top 25 destinations in the world and 14th place in the Top 25 most favorite destinations of all time.

Hanoi is highly appreciated for having both the bustling, modern, youthful features of a developing city, while still retaining its nostalgic, old features with its long-standing relics, architectural works, culture, and history.

“Throughout the ups and downs of time, with many different names, the thousand-year-old capital of Vietnam has never forgotten its glorious history. Places like Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum or Hoa Lo Prison are clear evidence of that." Tripadvisor commented.
