Hanoi
Part cool art exhibition space, part chic cafe and bar, Manzi is worth seeking out north of the Old Quarter. A restored French villa hosts diverse exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography, and the compact courtyard garden is perfect for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. There's also a small shop selling works by contemporary Vietnamese artists.
Just round the corner is a second branch of Manzi Art Space, which operates solely as an exhibition space.
