VietNamNet Bridge – The Old Quarter preserves the cultural lifestyle of Hanoi. At night, walking on the streets here, you will enjoy the music, cuisine and relaxing moments with friends.

In early October, Hanoi turned the six streets of Hang Buom, Ma May, Hang Giay, Luong Ngoc Quyen, Ta Hien, and Dao Duy Tu in the Old Quarter into roads for pedestrians.

These streets are open for pedestrians on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, from 7pm in summer and 6pm in winter. On these nights, traditional and modern music will be performed outdoors, at the intersections of Dong Thai – Ma May – Dao Duy Tu – Hang Buom, Ta Hien – Luong Ngoc Quyen and Hang Giay – Hang Buom.
