Reasons why Hanoi won three top world tourism destination awards
Recently, Hanoi was honored in three top global categories at the Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best Destinations 2025 by Tripadvisor, the world’s leading online travel platform.

This year, Hanoi secured spots in the following categories: Top 25 Cultural Destinations in the World (ranked 2nd), Top 25 Destinations in the World (ranked 7th), and the special Top 25 Most Beloved Destinations of All Time in celebration of Tripadvisor’s 25th anniversary (ranked 14th).
Hanoi seamlessly blends ancient charm with modern vibrancy. The city preserves the nostalgic beauty of its Old Quarter, historical sites, and architectural landmarks while embracing continuous urban development as a dynamic and modern metropolis.

“Having withstood the test of time under various names, the thousand-year-old capital has never forgotten its proud history. Landmarks such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison stand as clear testaments to this legacy,” Tripadvisor noted.
The platform further highlighted that Hanoi is not only renowned for its rich cultural and historical heritage but also captivates visitors with its picturesque lakes, lush parks, tree-lined streets, and hundreds of ancient temples and pagodas. Together, these elements create a vibrant and multi-faceted city, adding to its irresistible appeal.

The Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best is a prestigious award from Tripadvisor, recognizing excellence in the travel industry.
