Tatler Traveller Philippines - Volume 15, 2019

In this issue

Philippine Tatler Traveller goes to Hanoi for this issue's cover story as Philippine Airlines
launches its latest routes, opening pathways to more of Asia's cultural gems. With PAL's
new direct flight, the scenic Vietnamese capital is now only three hours away, making it
an easy option for a long weekend-getaway. What makes Hanoi so alluring is that
a visit to this city is like being transported to another world, suspended in time between
a French colonial past and a bustling Asian present.

We were billeted at the Sofitel Legend Metropole—considered the city's most
prestigious address—in the French Quarter, within walking distance to many must-see
sights. Strolling along tree-lined streets and tranquil Hoan Kiem lake, you are
immediately impressed by the seamless dichotomy between colonial-style buildings and
Oriental temples. Behind the doors of many of these finely-preserved heritage buildings
lie the most charming cafés serving up traditional pho, bahn mi, and the ubiquitous
Vietnamese drip-coffee.

Let our pages take you on to other fascinating destinations where wonderful surprises
await beyond closed doors. From the magic realism of San Miguel de Allende's charming
streets and the baroque masterpieces enshrined within Malta's quiet chuches, to the powerful history of the African American people at Washinton DC's Smithsonian Institution and the flood of flavours along the road from Fez to Marrakech, explore new worlds.
