Destinations in Vietnam are among the top 10 most attractive cultural cities in the world.

The vote is based on a survey of nearly 20,000 travelers in cities around the world to find answers to the best cities for art and culture.

Each city was scored on both the quality and affordability of its cultural offerings, with only the highest-scoring cities in each country making the long list. Time Out 's global network of cultural experts then voted on their favourite destinations.

The result is 20 of the most dynamic, exciting cultural hubs on the planet today, where experiencing art in all its forms is affordable and accessible. Here are the world’s 20 most culturally appealing cities:

9. Hanoi

"The charm of modern, youthful Hanoi is that the past is never far away. In the Old Quarter, the Dong Kinh Co Nhac group breathes new life into ancient silk string instruments, while across the city at Hanoi Rock City, emerging local bands dominate packed dance floors. 100km south in the Mai Chau mountains, the 'rave in a cave' Equation Festival, now in its seventh year, is increasingly attracting international attention. Hanoi's fashion scene is equally dynamic - designers are turning ethnic minority fabrics into globally revered haute couture, drawing on centuries-old silk traditions," Time Out commented.

Hanoi is the most affordable city for arts and culture on the list, with 82 percent of locals rating the Vietnamese capital highly for affordability. Take a walk on the weekend walking street – the most recommended of all the city’s cultural activities in Time Out’s survey – where the streets of the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake are cleared of traffic to make way for street performances, traditional dance and live music
