Itinerary
Day 1
Make your way to the Hoan Kiem / Đinh Tiên Hoàng area and be ready to collect your tickets at the theatre ticket office about 10 minutes before showtime.
Arrive in the Hoan Kiem area (pre-show)
Head toward the Hoan Kiem / Đinh Tiên Hoàng area to approach Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre. Use this brief window to confirm your voucher and plan a short walk to the theatre entrance.
Tips from local experts:
- If staying near Hoan Kiem (for example at Lakeside Palace Hotel, 15 Ng. Hàng Hành), allow a short walk along streets leading to Đinh Tiên Hoàng so you arrive comfortably before the ticket pickup time.
- Have your voucher (printed or on your phone) and the booking name ready — tickets are collected at the theatre ticket office about 10 minutes before the show start.
- Sidewalks in the Old Quarter can be narrow and busy in the evening; travel together and allow a little extra time to reach the theatre entrance.
Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre — Ticket pickup & show
Collect your pre-booked tickets at the theatre's ticket office (staff will meet you at the Tickets Office) and attend the water puppet performance. The performance features traditional Vietnamese music and runs for about one hour. Wheelchair accessible.
Tips from local experts:
- Go to the 'Tickets Office' inside Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre and present your voucher and booking name; staff typically deliver tickets about 10 minutes before the scheduled show.
- Doors typically close at the advertised start time; arrive early to avoid restricted late entry and to find comfortable seats together for an intimate viewing experience.
- The venue is wheelchair accessible; if you require specific seating or assistance, mention this when you collect your tickets so staff can advise or assist.
