Lotte Observation Deck (Hanoi Sky): ticket price, opening hours and best time
The Lotte Observation Deck, also called Hanoi Sky, is the panoramic terrace on the 65th floor of the Lotte Center tower in Ba Dinh district. An adult ticket costs about 230,000 VND on weekdays (children 3 to 12: about 170,000 VND, free under 3) according to a guide quoting the official site; weekend and public-holiday rates may differ. The most quoted hours are 9:30-22:30 with last entry at 22:00, but one reseller says 9:00-23:00: check before you go. Allow 1 hour on site. The best time is late afternoon, to watch the city turn from day to night. See also: West Lake, Tay Ho district and rooftop bars.
Highlights
The Lotte Center tower
A glass skyscraper in the Lieu Giai business district. The observatory entrance is inside the complex, at the foot of the tower.
The 360-degree view
The city, West Lake and the bridges over the Red River are visible in clear weather. Aim for clear days: haze and pollution cut the view a lot in winter.
The ticket with a drink
One reseller offers an admission + drink option at about 280,000 VND, to compare with entry alone (about 230,000 VND).
Practical info
Tips
- Reseller prices are often a little below the ticket office and the ticket is used by QR code on the chosen date. Check the weather and visibility on the day: in haze, waiting for a better sky beats a wasted ticket. Arrive 45 minutes before sunset to see both day and night. Weekends are busier. The amounts above come from guides and resellers, not from confirmation by the official site.
