Group travel

Great food and even better people! My friends and I visited Hanoi, Vietnam for approximately a week a few months ago, and the experience still sticks with me. The attractions were amazing and we got to experience the local culture. Overall, a very vibrant and aesthetically rich region.

Solo travel

I felt very safe in Hanoi apart from maybe in traffic. Main way to get around is on a moto so be prepared for that. If u travel during winter remember it can be quite cold. I always wore a sweatshirt and a jacket. Food is great! I felt super safe! Sometimes Google Maps works poorly. Over all amazing!

Solo travel

I felt the mixture of Asian and European style in their architecture and food. Also, the Hanoi old quarter is full of beautiful trees which made me so happy and relaxed! Everything is cheap there so you don’t need to care too much about your budget while staying there!

It's okay. I haven't noticed anything dangerous except walking. They drive like crazy. Sometimes I'm afraid to cross the street, afraid I'll get hit by a scooter or a car. 😌😌😌👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀😌😌😌😌

In general, the crime rate is low since people's solidarity is strong. Everyone cares about everyone (two-edged sword tho). If you are pickpocketed, there must be 20 locals jumping in trying to catch the thief lmao. People love being the hero here. We have a fun saying here in Vietnam, "cameras fueled by rice", which are the people.

I used to go very late at night, but nothing had happened. Despite sometimes there was news about catcalling at night, but I have never experienced that. But for safety reason, I prefer to dress more covered and not show too much skin
