I have about 6 hours in Hanoi between a meeting and catching a flight.

Any ideas on must sees or must dos?

a walk through the old town...hire a taxi to take you on a drive around town....go to the tomb of ho....

you probably really only have 3 hours or less

I'd visit the Temple of Literature, cross teh street and get refreshments at KOTO, a small restaurant that trains street kids, then shop next door at CraftLink, a fair trade crafts store.

I'd visit Temple of Literature for 1 hour, then take a "xeom" to Hoan Kiem Lake, visit Ngoc Son Temple on the lake,this will take more than 1 hour. Finally take a cyclo tour around the Old Quarter of Hanoi for 1 hour. It is then time to take a taxi to Noibai airport for the flight.

I second Kathie's recommendation.

For me the main attractions were the Old Quarter and seeing Uncle Ho resting in peace.

Thank you very much to all for your responses!
Just saw an episode of Amazing Race in Hanoi... the city looks quite busy
