Hanoi Christmas 2025: Unmissable Romantic Check-in Spots

Unlike the mild sunshine of the South, Christmas in Hanoi brings the crisp chill of winter winds, the lingering scent of late-season milkwood flowers, and warm golden lights weaving through the ancient streets of the Old Quarter. If you are planning a perfect Christmas night in the capital, be sure to save these "golden" locations!

1. St. Joseph's Cathedral (Nhà Thờ Lớn Hà Nội)

This is always the epicenter of every Christmas season in Hanoi. With its ancient Gothic architecture, a giant sparkling Christmas tree, and elaborately designed Nativity scenes, the Cathedral is an unmissable destination.

The Vibe: Sipping a glass of "lemon tea" on Nha Tho Street while watching the bustling crowds is a quintessential "Hanoi experience."

2. Hang Ma Street & The Old Quarter

Right from the beginning of December, Hang Ma Street is dyed in vibrant red with countless decorations, wreaths, and Santa Claus costumes. This is the most brilliant and free "Instagrammable" background you can find in the city.

Note: Hang Ma Street is usually very crowded; it’s best to park your vehicle outside and walk in to enjoy taking photos comfortably.

3. Hoan Kiem Lake Walking Street

A festive atmosphere fills every corner around Hoan Kiem Lake. Street music performances, K-pop dance covers, and traditional folk games /p>

4. Lotte Mall West Lake (Lac Long Quân)

As the newest and hottest shopping mall in Hanoi today, Lotte Mall West Lake leads the way in grand decorations. Artistic Christmas trees reaching tens of meters high and the indoor aquarium make this a fantastic destination for both families and couples.

5. Ham Long Church

Renowned as one of the most beautiful churches in Hanoi, Ham Long features a spacious area and unique architecture with decorative lines inspired by traditional folk materials. It offers a more peaceful and solemn atmosphere compared to the bustling vibe of the Cathedral.

6. Vincom Center Ba Trieu & Royal City

If you are looking for "massive" Christmas trees and spaces flooded with European-style lights, Vincom shopping centers are the top choice. In particular, the square at Royal City is often decorated like a fairytale snow town.
