Hanoi

"Originally a French hill station, this location is a fascinating destination for a weekend getaway. Must-visit spots include the Cactus Garden, Old French Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh Temple, Thuong Temple, several pagodas, and a waterfall."
If your perfect day includes a few hours in the mountains, add Ba Vi National Park to your Hanoi vacation itinerary. Just about 60 kilometers west of the city, the park boasts more than 2,000 plant species and more than 300 animal species — a naturalist's dream. There's also an ancient French church and two temples on the grounds, giving you a glimpse into the area's culture and history.
