Seasons:
Hanoi has four different seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Spring is from February to April and is mild with a bit of rain – everything starts to bloom. Summer, from May to August, is hot and rainy. Autumn is a favorite for many; from September to November, the weather is cool and dry, making it beautiful with golden leaves. Winter, from December to January, is cooler and can be quite foggy, giving the city a mysterious vibe.
The best time to visit Hanoi is during autumn, from September to November. The weather is just right – not too hot, not too cold, and not much rain. The city feels calm, and you can enjoy walking around and seeing the sights without the big crowds.
Local Food to Try:
You have to try Pho, a noodle soup that’s a big deal in Vietnam. Bun Cha is another great dish with grilled pork, noodles, and herbs. Cha Ca is a bit different – it’s fish cooked with turmeric and served with herbs. Besides, Banh Mi, a kind of sandwich, and Egg Coffee, a sweet coffee drink, are both delicious and unique to Hanoi.
Getting Around in Hanoi:
There are many ways to get around in Hanoi. Motorbikes are everywhere; it’s a fast way to get through the city. You can also rent a bicycle to go through smaller streets and enjoy the city at a slower pace. Or buses are cheap and cover the whole city. Besides, taxis and apps like Grab are easy to use too. For something different, try a cyclo, a pedal-powered cart, especially around the old parts of the city. It’s a fun way to see the sights.

FAQs
As travel agents, we frequently receive a variety of questions before the trip-planning process even begins. Everything from the best period to book to determining if travel insurance is worth it. We love being able to share our professional expertise and personal experience with our clients, offering them confidence that their holiday will be nothing less than exciting.
While it may seem too early to plan a holiday, it's always a good idea to research travel tour prices ahead of time and book as soon as a suitable offer has been identified. "When it comes to the winter holidays from October to February in the next year—the priciest time of the year—your best bet is to book the tour service before this period," according to my own experience. "Look to book between one to two months ahead for domestic travel and two to 6 months ahead for international travel."
It is a good idea to check if you need a visa for Vietnam before applying for one, since this will save you both time and money, especially in times of crisis.
According to official announcements, residents of 25 countries will be able to travel to Vietnam and stay for 14 to 45 days (depending on nationality) without requiring a visa beginning in 2024.
To enter Vietnam, such citizens just require a valid passport with at least two black pages. The complete list of these countries can be found this link : https://www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/
