Hanoi is a bustling city with noise all around and full of places to explore. This is one of the best places to visit and so, most travellers either begin or end their adventure in Vietnam in Hanoi. The best time to visit this city would be in spring from March to April and in autumn from September to November. A 2 day stay in Hanoi is more than enough to cover all the best spots to visit with your significant other.
The best way to travel and explore Vietnam is certainly on a moped. So, the first thing you do when you arrive is rent a moped which is actually quite cheap as well. Hop on and make your way out of the city, but not too far away. Ba Vi National Park is an awesome place to visit for its stunning scenery, not to mention the scenic route you will be taking to get there.

At the entrance to the park, you will have to pay a small fee to enter.

Booking your cooking class can be done through your resort or even on Airbnb Experiences and Get Your Guide. The experience involves making a trip to the local market with your instructor and purchasing fresh ingredients for the dish you are about to prepare. Once this is done, you can get to learning the steps for preparation. Make sure to take notes so you can prepare the dish at home too.

If you would just like to explore the building together, then taking a small day tour of the place is recommended.
