St Joseph’s Cathedral

Why go

The cathedral's vertical lines stand out among the smaller streets and shops around it, showing another strand of Hanoi's nineteenth-century built history. The square is also a useful point for noticing how religious, residential and commercial life meet in the center. Pair it with an Old Quarter walk rather than making a long special trip.

What to look for

• Twin towers and a dark stone Gothic Revival façade face a small central square.
• The cathedral creates a clear contrast with the nearby temple and lake architecture.

Useful to know

• Respect worship and check local access before entering the interior.
