The policy, announced by the municipal Department of Culture and Sports, aims to help the public access cultural values, promote Hanoi’s image, stimulate early spring tourism, and strengthen traditional education while creating a festive, healthy community atmosphere.
The free entry applies to ticketed attractions managed by the city, including:
Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, Temple of Literature, Ngoc Son Temple, Hoa Lo Prison Relic, Co Loa Citadel, Huong Son Complex (Perfume Pagoda), 22 Hang Buom Heritage Site, 87 Ma May Ancient House, Hanoi Museum, Bach Ma Temple, Kim Ngan Communal House, Quan De Temple, Hanoi Old Quarter Cultural Exchange Centre, Quan Thanh Temple, Duong Lam Ancient Village, Thay Pagoda, and Tay Phuong Pagoda.
City officials said the initiative is expected to attract large numbers of visitors during Tet, contributing to cultural tourism growth while encouraging both locals and international travellers to explore Hanoi’s historical legacy at the start of the lunar new year.
