Things to Know Before You Go
Wear comfortable shoes as you'll walk a lot through its winding streets. Keep cash handy for small purchases and street food. Bargaining is common at markets. Watch out for motorbikes, even in narrow alleys, and stay hydrated, especially during warm weather.
How to Get There
The Old Quarter is a central location in Hanoi, easily accessible by taxi, cyclo, or walking if you’re staying nearby. Public buses and ride-hailing apps like Grab are also convenient options for getting there.
When to Get There
The Old Quarter is vibrant throughout the day, but mornings are great for quieter exploration. Visit in the evening for lively markets, street performances, and dining options. Weekends bring a festive atmosphere with night markets and pedestrian-only streets.
Day Trips from Hanoi
While the Old Quarter itself is a full-day destination, it can also serve as a base for day trips. Tam Coc, located about two hours away, is a perfect escape into nature. Guided tours from Hanoi often combine a visit to Tam Coc with nearby attractions like Hoa Lu or Trang An for a rewarding experience.
