Hanoi
The most interesting street food on the continent.
Travellers come here for food, culture, meeting people and nightlife.
When to go
Aim for October, November and April. Think twice about June, July and August — the wettest stretch of the year.
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High | 11°C52°F | 12°C54°F | 16°C61°F | 21°C70°F | 25°C77°F | 28°C82°F | 32°C90°F | 33°C91°F | 29°C84°F | 24°C75°F | 18°C64°F | 13°C55°F |
What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
Eating
863 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 460 restaurants, 321 cafés and 80 bars and pubs. 95% carry no chain or brand operator.
Of the 323 that record what they serve, the most common are:
- vietnamese 125
- noodle 27
- japanese 12
- bubble tea 10
- asian 7
- indian 7
30 record vegetarian options and 27 record vegan ones.

Getting there
The airport is HAN. Hanoi is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
