Lotte Observation Skydeck
While Hanoi is famous for its ancient architecture, there are modern high-rises joining the scene as well. If you are looking for a way to take in all of Hanoi at once, head to the Lotte Center’s 64th floor at sunset. There are two glass skydecks; one comes with an official photographer that will snap photos of you for a fee, but feel free to take your own. Note that entry to the rooftop cocktail bar is free, while the observation deck costs 230,000d. Hanoi's beauty is in its details and views from here may border on dystopian, but the elevated view enables sightseers to see how Hanoi's neighborhoods are pieced together.
