Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, is located in the northern part of the country, sitting on the banks of the Red River. It’s a city where ancient history and modern development blend seamlessly. Hanoi is famous for its centuries-old architecture, vibrant culture, and bustling streets. With lakes, parks, bustling streets, and old quarters, Hanoi offers a mix of tranquility and lively urban life. It’s a city that wears its history proudly, with each neighborhood telling a story of Vietnam’s rich past.
Seasons
Hanoi experiences four distinct seasons throughout the year: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Spring (February to April) is warm and wet, a time when the city blooms into vibrant colors. Summer (May to August) is hot and humid, marked by heavy rains. Autumn (September to November) is widely considered the best time to visit, with cooler temperatures and clear skies. Winter (December to January) is cold and misty, giving Hanoi a mystical atmosphere.
Best Time to Visit
The ideal times to visit Hanoi are during the spring and autumn months. These seasons offer the most pleasant weather conditions—warm days in spring and cool, comfortable weather in autumn. Autumn, especially, is perfect for visitors, as the city’s beauty is enhanced by the mild weather and the leaves changing colors, making it a great time for outdoor activities and exploring the city on foot.
Local Food
Some must-try foods include:
Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup): A classic Vietnamese dish that’s perfect for breakfast.
Banh Mi: A Vietnamese sandwich that’s both delicious and convenient for a walk.
Egg Coffee: A Hanoi specialty, this unique beverage combines coffee with egg yolks and sugar, creating a rich and creamy treat.
Bun Cha: Grilled pork served with vermicelli noodles, herbs, and dipping sauce, typically enjoyed for lunch but can be a great start to your day.
These dishes provide a taste of Hanoi’s culinary diversity and are integral to the walking tour experience.
Getting Around
Moving around in Hanoi is pretty straightforward and there are several options to choose from, depending on your comfort and where you want to go. Walking is one of the best ways to see the city, especially if you’re exploring the Old Quarter or around Hoan Kiem Lake. The streets here are full of life and walking lets you take it all in at your own pace.
For longer distances, taxis and Grab (a ride-hailing app similar to Uber) are convenient and won’t break the bank. They’re everywhere and can get you from point A to B quickly. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also rent a motorbike or bicycle. This gives you the freedom to explore as you wish, though remember, Hanoi traffic can be a bit overwhelming if you’re not used to it.
Public buses are another option. They’re cheap and cover most of the city, but they can be crowded and a bit confusing if you don’t speak Vietnamese. However, they do give you a real taste of local life.

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/
