Ancient House

Built in the late 20th century and restored in 1999, Ancient House offers visitors to Hanoi a chance to travel back in time and experience what life was like for locals in this bustling urban center hundreds of years ago. History buffs will love exploring the small two-block home decorated in old-world style and its quiet courtyard.
Ancient House’s architecture may still speak to a past that’s long gone, but it should be noted that this popular destination has become more souvenir shop than museum, where visitors can find traditional embroidery, games and silk paintings for reasonable prices. 

Practical Info

The Ancient House is located in Hanoi Old Quarter at 87 Ma May Street. It is a short walk from nearby Hoan Kiem Lake. Visitors pay a small entry fee of about VND 10,000.
