Hoa Lo Prison Museum Hanoi
Hoa Lo prison museum Hanoi located in number 1, Hoa Lo street on the corner with Hai Ba Trung street, is all that remains of the former Hoa Lo Prison, ironically nicknamed the ‘Hanoi Hilton’ by US POWs during the American War. Those incarcerated at Hoa Lo included Pete Peterson, who would later become the first US Ambassador to Vietnam following the re-establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 1995.
