Presidential Palace in Hanoi is the working place for the
President of Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The building is situated inside President
Ho Chi Minh’s complex, beside Ba Dinh Square and Ho Chi Minh mausoleum. It is
the place we welcome Presidents from foreign countries.
Formerly, it was built for French Governor of Indochina and completed
in 1906. The construction consists of 30 rooms in different designs. The
building is one of the largest French Colonial constructions in Hanoi. It was

in a traditional Vietnamese stilt house overlooking to carp pond. The palace
hosts meetings, not open to the public but you can go inside the garden, walk
