Hanoi ranks among the world’s most interesting cities to visit – a far cry from its unfortunate reputation as a political outpost during the Vietnam War. Originally called Thang Long (City of the Dragon), today’s Hanoi is a city of constant commotion always offering something of interest to the traveller.
Today, Hanoi serves as the transportation hub of the country. All flights to Hanoi arrive at its airport and travellers heading onward can board trains to further destinations in Vietnam or China. Before you board a Hanoi flight from home, take a look around and consider the impact one airport has on a city. During the Vietnam War, Hanoi’s transportation facilities were continuously bombed and bridges, railways and airports were destroyed. Hanoi’s reconstruction and resurrection as Vietnam’s travel hub serves as a tribute to the country’s determination to survive.

To experience festive holiday atmosphere at its fullest, book a cheap flight to Hanoi during Tet, the lunar new year.
Peak Season: Summer time beckons tourists from around the world to bask in the sun and sweat with the locals between June and August. Outside of those roasting months though, January offers the celebration of Tet (lunar new year) that dresses the city in a guise of elegance, spirit and parties. Find a cheap flight to Hanoi in advance to ensure your spot in the action.
Off-peak Season: Because the city can be considered a year-round location, you can always find cheap flights to Hanoi, depending on your weather preferences. Fewer Tourists seek it out in the winter (except for Tet, in January), and March’s drizzle and chill leave most travellers yearning for the comforts of the indoors.
Getting around Hanoi
Save yourself the hassle of dealing with Hanoi’s traffic and crowds and take a taxi. Cab companies are very competitive, so service is prompt. All the taxis are metred and it’s easy to call a cab or hail one from a taxi stand. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a motorbike taxi. If you want to take it easy, have a tour operator, travel agency or local tourist café hire you a car or driver. You can also rent bicycles from any hotel or café in the centre of town. Make sure the bike has a lock and bring a helmet. If you’re really brave, it’s easy to rent a motorcycle as well. Be careful on Hanoi’s busy streets. Motorcycle accidents are the leading cause of death and injury to foreigners in Vietnam. Walking can also be hazardous, so be aware of traffic and follow locals whenever possible. Try to keep a steady pace and don’t panic when crossing the street. You can flag down a cyclo (pedicab), but you’ll need to determine a fare before boarding. Avoid taking a cyclo at night though. It’s always a good idea to know where you’re going, and bring a map so you can point out your destination. Many cyclo drivers don’t speak English, and this will help both of you get where you’re going. Avoid the public buses altogether. They may be cheap, but they’re also slow, crowded and poorly labeled.
