Taco & Nacho’s Möm
★★★★★4 months agoVisited the Lotte Sky Observation Deck on a weekend. Pro tip: just book via Klook, It’s cheaper lol. We arrived around lunch time so surprisingly not that crowded. It actually rained before we got there, but the view was still nice. Though honestly, I feel like this place would hit more during sunset or at night. We got the ticket with a free drink, you can choose from beer, iced coffee, wintermelon tea, honey tea, ice cream, etc (forgot the rest 😅). Nice little add-on. They also have hanbok rental, plus some cute souvenirs. There’s also a VR game if you’re into that, kinda fun since you’re already in a super high building, might as well go all in I’ve been to a lot of observation decks already so nothing super wow or unique here, but still worth checking out if you’re in Hanoi. Especially if you’re already around the area doing a grocery run at Lotte Mart lol. Overall it was a chill experience. Not mind-blowing, but relaxing, clean, and a nice break from the busy streets. Good for a quick stop, take some pics, enjoy the view, then go on with your day 👍

★★★★★3 months agoAn incredibly good place. Seeing Hanoi from 300 meters high, on the 65th floor: phenomenal. I bought a combo ticket, so I not only enjoyed the incredible view, but also sweated in a 10-minute VR shooting game. Afterwards, I enjoyed the drink, which was also part of the ticket. Then they took a few photos of me in a slightly battered state. Finally, I received a small gift as a souvenir of my visit. This is a sight not worth missing!
