The mausoleum is closed until August 15th. Very unclear information from our hotel and when we searched online.

Still worth while visiting the grounds and premises where Ho Chi Min lived and worked.

Closed for annual maintenance in summer 22

Everywhere I read that the mausoleum is open, but in fact closed to the public from June 13 to August 15 (2022) for annual maintenance, no clear information about that 😅 you can walk around, and continue with the presidential palace and Hô Chi Minh house (not free) and finish by the one Pilar pagoda.

Thank u to the English tour guide Huyen
Family
Our family with young children visited the Ho Chin Minh museum on 19 June, Monday. We took up the free tour guide service provided by the museum and was assigned to Kelsey. She spoke fluent english and explained each of the exhibits clear enough for the children to understand. Kelsey was really passionate when bringing us around the museum, and was very warm and friendly towards us tourists. Our visit to the museum was very educational and informative because of this tour!

Must visit in Hanoi
Family
There were atleast a thousand people in queue when we reached and it took around 30-40 minutes of dragging to reach to chamber where the body of their great leader is preserved. The time and the pain was worth at the end and I will recommended visitors to definitely include this place in their itinerary.

One should start early when the mausoleum opens to get quicker access. Also visitors with sleeveless tops or short pants/skirts are not allowed entry. Men with knee length shorts are Ok. Will recommend sober full clothing to avoid disappointment.

We’ll worth the waiting.
Very interesting visit to see the preserved body of the revered leader of Vietnam.
Strict control and run by the military. No loitering or talking photos inside the chamber.
Cannot take photos inside. But outside of the building & gardens ok

A monolith of impressive scale.

If you want to go inside you will need to come early - check the hours on Google Maps.

I looked at the outside only. The building and the grounds outside are quite impressive in scale, all watched over by White-uniformed guards.

As you wilk see from all the picture, the Mausoleum is a very stark edifice. The wide open space and straight, clean edged structure contrast quite a lot with the rest of central Hanoi.

Historical Mausoleum
I went here before the pandemic - Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the resting place of President Ho Chi Minh. You can enter the mausoleum to view his embalmed body on a glass guarded with soldiers. You must be quite early to get in the queue. I didnt go inside and just took a photo outside

Interesting place worth a visit
Peaceful and lovely place to visit, which locates right in the center of Hanoi capital. Our walk there was so interesting, with a connection visit to Westlake and Tran Quoc pagoda
