Beautiful church in the heart of Hanoi. Such a tall external european style external structure. Inside there are big side altars and the main one. Closes @ 7pm. There are services in the evening but in Vietnamese. Nice quiet place to come and pray before you get back to exploring Hanoi

Lovely, solemn English language mass today (Sunday) at 11:30am. The grounds and the building itself are quite a sight, standing out with its gothic architecture from the surroundings. The inside is quite grand when lighted up. There were a lot of places to light candles with donation boxes but i was unable to find any candles to light🥴 Located within the old quarter with lots of shops, restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood.

The rather brutal looking exterior belies the lovely, but generally simple interior. You enter through the small entrance to the right of the building as you look at the front of the building.

Looks good. Go get some

Nice place to visit in Hanoi! Still better to walk there because you will charge lots of money for parking haha..

It's nice place for sightseeing around center tourist area of Hanoi. It's close from Hoan Kiem Lake and many cafe and restaurant surrounding this area. The church is beautiful with old europe design. The building and area not too big so it's good place for stop by and take Hanoi typical photo.

Its one of the most heritages of the Church of Vietnam.

Lovely cathedral. Beautiful architecture and the interiors are nice too, many altars. I attended French Mass here and it's very reverent. There are small TVs for the text so that you can follow along. The Sunday Vietnamese Masses are very crowded. There is also a store on the left side outside the cathedral. Do note to dress appropriately and be respectful when you enter. Please do not start walking about and using your phone when Mass is in session. Current Mass schedule are as follows in the picture:

Saint Joseph Cathedral in Hanoi has been assigned as the cathedral of the archdiocese, The cathedral was built in 1886 in neo-Gothic style. This church is worth stopping by, especially at night when it is lit up. The next was a rock grotto surrounding Jesus and Mary. I also recommend visiting the gift shop inside.

Beautiful architecture. Got the chance to went in on Sunday 😍👏🏻

When we arrived at 7pm, there were many cozy pubs and lounges in the busy area.

Great building especially in the night. Many people gathering around in front of church for worship on sunday night.

The Architecture was really beautiful, Mass timings should be displayed somewhere for the tourists to see.

One of the beautiful churches in Hanoi, Vietnam. We, as Catholics from Thailand, have a chance to get inside the church on the day we visited because there was pre-wedding rehearsal. It is a really grand, great and holy place. We also prayed and took some pictures.

My go-to Hanoi old quater landmark to start the journey to my favourite part of hanoi. Lots of cafes and restaurants around the square to hang-on & chill

Nice looking church. Make sure to wear long pants/skirt if wanting to go inside

I visited in evening, such a beautiful of view

Very nice and beautiful church. You can click super photos or enjoy the view while sipping your favourite coffee or drink

In Hanoi, this amazing place of worship, brings the youth to sing, pray and celebrate their freedom to profess the Catholic religion. The architecture, from the French colonial times, has left a jewel to be admired. I certainly did. Montserrat 2022.
