The Cathedral is within the old quarter and is very impressive in terms of it's size, the stark contrast with the neighbourhood and the fact it survived the American/Vietnam war bombings.

Not much to look at from the outside but worth entering the cathedral, quite a moving experience

It's beautiful. You can't go inside so take some photos and avoid the touts trying to sell you things. I don't really know what else to say.

Even as an atheist, i found it nice sit down for while and escape from the chaos outside.
Except of the school right next to the church, full of screaming children, it is a nice calm place.

Nice neo-gothic architecture. The altar and ceiling design was also very good, but you aren't allowed to take pictures inside. Had to enter the church from the back entrance as they were setting up something in the front and it was barred off.
Still, it's a typical Catholic church. I've definitely seen more impressive ones.

It's the Cathedral in Old Hanoi. It's a standard, neo gothic church. Unless you are Catholic and want to attend servives, I don't know what interest this would have for you.

We visited this cathedral and attended part of an Easter Sunday service in french. It is beautiful and well worth a visit. It has gorgeous leadlight windows and an ornate ceiling.

Wasn't sure whether to bother with this but as we were passing, went in. It has the most fabulous stained glass so well worth a visit

But wasn't open to see the inside on any of the days we were in Hanoi, so that was disappointing. Also, there is a chain link fence around it so it doesn't show so well in a picture.
