Next, the tour stops at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex where visitors can see the embalmed body of Ho Chi Minh, explore the surrounding gardens, and view his two residences from 1954 to 1969. The nearby One Pillar Pagoda is also included. Modest dress covering shoulders and knees is required for this visit. The mausoleum is closed on Mondays and Fridays and also closed for maintenance mid-June to mid-August, but visitors can still take photos outside and explore the area.

If the museum is closed on Mondays, the tour will visit the Women’s Museum instead. Afterward, the group visits the Temple of Literature and National University, established in the 11th century as Vietnam’s first university. The final stop is the Hoa Lo Prison Museum, originally a French colonial prison and later used during the Vietnam War to detain American prisoners, known as the "Hanoi Hilton."
