Three Vietnam locales among world's 'best walking cities
Hanoi, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City have made the list of the globe's 100 best cities to discover by foot, as ranked by British tour operator GuruWalk.
Hanoi is well known for its rich history, French colonial architecture, and vibrant markets, all of which are easily experienced by walking. On foot, visitors can explore Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Temple of Literature, Ngoc Son Temple or stroll along the French-built Long Bien bridge.
"While Hoi An is famous for its old town illuminated by colorful lanterns, unique architecture, and custom tailoring, HCMC offers a mix of French colonial architecture, modern skyscrapers, and historical sites like the War Remnants Museum that are well worth exploring on foot," the site added.
Despite the ranking, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's two largest metropolises, have often received complaints from both locals and tourists about the lack of space for walking, given the encroachment of sidewalk by vehicles and vendors.
