Ngoc Son Temple sits on a small island in Hoan Kiem Lake and is reached by the iconic red Huc Bridge, so expect a lot of photo stops and short queues.

While you don't need long here, our kids ended up loving this stop with cute cats running around, turtles and koi ponds. Plan to stay anywhere from 15–30 minutes.

Entry Fee: 30,000 VND / adult ($1.70 aud)

At the time of our visit the kids were free.

Planning tip: A visit to the Ngoc Son Temple pairs well with a walk around Haon Kiem Lake and a coffee break at The Note Cafe.
