Take a glimpse into the resilience of Hanoi

Information about Hanoi

Hanoi is an underrated city when it comes to being a travel destination.

However, things are changing nowadays. With a lot of new experiences to offer to its tourists, Hanoi has become as welcoming as ever for people all around the world. From lovely festivals, Here is the Hanoi tour guide to help you with everything that you might need to know:

Weather in Hanoi

This backpacker’s guide to Hanoi suggests that the city enjoys a mix of temperate and tropical climate. The city is divided into three types of terrains: delta, midland, and mountainous. The changes in weather and temperature in the city are only slightly dependent on the type of terrain in the particular part of the city and are mostly dependent on the time of the year or, in other words, the prevalent season.

Hanoi experiences four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn or fall, and winter. The summers are very humid and are characterized by heavy and unpredictable rainfall. The winters, on the other hand, can be biting cold and the temperature may even drop below 10°C. Spring (from February to April) and Autumn (from September to November) are the best times to visit the city as the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear. Hanoi is also prone to cyclones. You can get more elaborate information about temperature, precipitation, and potential cyclonic conditions in the city from a detailed Hanoi travel guide.

Nightlife in Hanoi:

The Old Quarter is the part of the city where most of the nightlife activities are centred in. Hanoi nightlife guide lists a lot of nightclubs like Factory 47, Ne Cocktail Bar and Binn Minh’s Jazz Club. Factory 47 boasts of brick walls and comfortable sofas you can sit and relax in. If you are missing regular fast food like burgers and fries, then Factory 47 is the place to go. It also stays open after midnight, unlike other Hanoi nightlife hubs. Binh Minh’s Jazz Club is the go-to place for jazz lovers, and some international celebrities have performed there as well.

Food in Hanoi:

This Hanoi local tour guide gives a lot of weight to street food. Cafes and diners with cute little-painted tables can be found in every nook and corner of the city. Fruit and rice folded in banana leaves is the most popular Vietnamese street food option. There is also meat on a stick. Hanoi Pho (noodle soup) is a local delicacy that you will not be able to get enough of. The beef variant of it is called Pho Bo, and the chicken variant is called Pho Ga. Grilled fish with rice noodles is also a mouth-watering dish eaten in abundance here.   

Shopping in Hanoi:

Hanoi is a wonderful place to shop in. Everything is readily available. Metiseko is a shop in Hanoi that specialized in silk products. Hanoi shopping guide is vast and covers affordable as well as expensive purchases. Bat Trang Ceramic Village is the place to go for a vast variety of handicraft and pottery shopping. Zeds Threads is a famous place for buying clothing made of natural fabric. If you want to shop for textile goods, then 54 Traditions is the recommended place. If you are looking for designer dresses or tailored suits, then you can pay a visit to Chula Fashion Showroom and Hoa Fashion. Long story short, you will never run out of places to shop from in Hanoi. A Hanoi tour guide will be able to give you even more information about the local shopping destinations to check out. Make sure you don’t splurge all your money on shopping though!

There are many festivals celebrated in Hanoi. Some of the most important ones are the Tet New Year, Co Loa Festival, and Chem Temple Festival. The Tet is the Vietnamese new year and is considered the birthday of every Vietnamese. The Co Loa is celebrated through cockfighting and wrestling.

    Abhishek's 7 days trip to Hanoi

    The overall trip arrangement was very nice. One thing i would really want trip organizer to improve is the flights should be booked as per the hotel checkin timing bcoz we had to wait for long outside the room and we were too tired but did not have any option but to wait outside. And if flight time can't be adjusted then atleast u should book hotel atleast for that time.

    Nithin's 7 days trip to Hanoi

    ✨ **A Heartfelt Shoutout to the SVietnam Team – Especially Anne & Tina!** ✨ We just returned from what we can proudly call *the most memorable trip of our lives*, all thanks to the incredible planning and dedication of **Anne and Tina**. From the very first interaction till the final goodbye, every single detail of our Vietnam journey was handled with absolute perfection. What stood out most was the **personalized touch**. They didn’t just plan an itinerary – they carefully listened to our preferences, customized everything around the locations we dreamed of visiting, and even added their own valuable recommendations that made our trip extra special. Every request, every service, every check-in and transfer was not only arranged but followed up on until completed. The level of coordination was simply *next-level*. Here’s a glimpse of the magical journey they created for us:

    Sindhuvusirikapalli's 7 days trip to Hanoi

    We were extremely disappointed with hotels at Hanoi and Hochi man city. We booked 4 star but the standard was like 2 star. We spoke to travel agent on the Day one, but she said the hotels in Hanoi will be like this. However, in DaNang and halong bay cruise were good. The tour guide and the cab driver were very friendly.
