Visit Hanoi

People were so nice and friendly Some areas were not clean quite a culture shook The areas of interest were good Would recommend taking the city tour bus and the puppet theatre also the Vietnamese women’s museum

Very sad to say but the 21 century is catching up with me. I loved the empty tourist spots but HaNoi is full of tourists like nearly everywhere else on the planet. If you don’t mind crowds it must be a fantastic vibe here. I am from rural Australia so I find crowds and diesel fumes daunting. I like open friendly people and most were but some of the tour operators are gushing, over the top, friendly. I did not meet one unfriendly person even border officials were tolerant. Marvellous city to explore and take plenty of time to do it, it is very worth while. At no time did I feel harassed or threatened, except by scooters, look in all direction when you cross the road! The only scammer I met was a taxi driver from the airport. If the hotel will book a taxi for you, use it, they pick you up at a fixed price, about half what drivers quote and you can pay at the hotel in local or international currency or card, very useful if you have just got off a plane.

Friendly city, at first it seems chaotic but you get used to it, and it has a charm after a while Use Grab for getting around. It was so simple. Easy payment, no communcation issues, no concerns of meter scams etc. The entire Ho Kiem lake is traffic free on surrounding streets on Sundays. It's a great way to see locals enjoying their day off.

Hanoi is busy, friendly and takes a little but of getting used to. The Hotel was ideally situated in the old town. It's reasonably clean and we felt very safe and comfortable. There's lots to see and do. We didn't really get hassled at all, just that they would like our business. Lots to see and do.

Beautifull Chaotic City, but it got a special place in my Heart, the locals are incredibly friendly, and the food is Delicious! i myself live in the Mountains, and therefor going to a busy city like Hanoi is complete the opposite of what i am used to!. all in all, Vietnam is Amazing and worth Visiting! so many nice museum's and Tours to take while Staying in Hanoi!
