Hanoi Vietnam Travel VLOG 2023 | sightseeing, cafe hopping, jazz clubs

[@Valent_Nomad_vlog]

Nice one 👍 ❤ I enjoyed also vlogging in Vietnam 🇻🇳 The coffee is so nice … and cafes just everywhere … 😊

[@20luzer52]

Great video of Hanoi, one of the better ones. Just the right balance of verbal comments, music and nice video footages. I agree the cafe culture in VN is on another level, from abundance, to affordability, to unique and distinct cafe exterior and interior decor instead of the stale and sterilize Starbucks we have here in the US, the patrons are true locals doing daily things too. That train street is wild but cool. I remember how it was strange for me to feel so energized and exhilarating while also feeling so calm and serene in those small cafes and villa eateries with courtyards or sitting on the benches around the lakes and especially in The Temple of Literature.

Hope you guys enjoy this vlog 🥰🇻🇳

going to Vietnam in a month and this video really helped me put together a rough itinerary!!! Loved the vibes in your vlog too :)

[@heidisarol]

[@PreludeSon]

It's nice to go to some hidden gems by going to the less crowded area. Such a nice video.

5:41 Hey could you explain which attractions specifically had issues with tripods? I'm travelling solo and plan to carry it in my bag so would this be an issue? :(

[@A55651]

I am Vietnamese so I would say in general in my opinion, in some historical and cultural sites, tripods can potentially damage delicate surfaces or disrupt the environmen if people used carelessly.

[@kofi.addict]

ahhhhhhh! i enjoyed this vlog so much --- as someone who loves cafes

[@heidisarol]

Yayy I'm glad you liked it! 🥰❤️

[@janed4727]

I loved this vlog! Def wanna hit up all the Hanoi coffee shops now ✨

[@heidisarol]

Tysm!!! Enjoy! 🥰💕

[@mydang7949]

i would strongly recommend you check out West Lake neighborhood, calmer and also very charming, in your next visit to Hanoi :D

[@heidisarol]

Thank you so much! I'll definitely come back and check that area out. Hanoi is such a gem 🤗💖

[@munbok]

Thanks for the tour! I'll be in Hanoi in January, next year. I've already booked my hotel accommodation, but after watching your video, I am so tempted to switch hotels!

[@heidisarol]

Oh I think thats a good time to go :) much cooler than when I went 😂 Thanks so much! I love the team at Concon house :)

[@kristineclarissecabansag3752]

Hi! I'm a new subscriber. I plan to go there now that I've seen your vlog. Cafe hopping

[@heidisarol]

Hi Kristine!! Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy! 🤗💕

[@datgal2u]

I absolutely love that you went to so many cafes as I think they have so many awesome ones in Hanoi (and Vietnam in general). I've seen plenty of the Note Cafe and the Hidden Gem, but the ones you went to were just as great in their own way (BTW, saw a couple go to Nola Cafe and it's cool as well). Such a great video of so many different things to do there. Next time, you can try to do a food tour (maybe more than one to see what different companies offer) or do a cooking class. They also have motorcycle tours that I saw Living the Jo Life do in their latest video (there's a jeep version if you don't want to ride the motorcycle). The water puppet show is different if you're looking for something cultural to do.

[@heidisarol]

Thank you so much for watching! Hanoi is such a nice city and I'll definitely look into your suggestions for my next trip 🥰❤️ Have a great weekend ahead!

[@datgal2u]

@@heidisarolAnother suggestion would be the women's museum there to see the history women played in the war.

[@olvanahmackenzie8129]

Hanoi surprised me. it seems good

[@heidisarol]

Definitely!!! Food is great and it has so much charm 🥰

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Hanoi looks wonderful.

[@PascalAgung]

i thin in this video on 17.19 i heard the music was played from the musician and indonesian song? so amazingg!!

[@karenlouisepresent1273]

Hi Heidi, this is one of my favourite Hanoi vlogs that I've come across, thank you. Just wondering what the name is of cafe you were in at the very end of your vlog, I couldn't see the name? We are going to Hanoi in November, can't wait.

[@heidisarol]

Hi Karen! Thank you very much. The cafe at the end of the vlog isnt on google maps 😭 but its very near Concon House and right across Buffalo Hostel. I hope this helps 🥰

[@karenlouisepresent1273]

@@heidisarol Thanks so much, we will have a wander when we are there 👍

[@pamg.3179]

Did you walk from temple of literature to hoan kiem lake? Or did u have to take a grab car? Will be visiting hanoi next month :)

[@heidisarol]

I took a grab! :) It was hot when I went so that's how I justified it 😂

[@pamg.3179]

@@heidisarol thank you!

[@kedsk7160]

May I please know how you managed to get to train street? I heard that there are guards there

[@heidisarol]

Hi! I remember just setting the cafe I wanted to go to on the Grab app. Didn't see any guards while I was there 🤔

[@Stephy_0692]

Is the train street open for tourist? Because I saw a video on tiktok that its close for tourist and there are some security and they blocked the entrance.

[@Stephy_0692]

Because we are going to Vietnam on Feb and I want to visit that train street so bad when I visit Hanoi hehehe

[@heidisarol]

Hi! When I went it was open. Always check a few weeks before going. There are a few blogs that I read through before going. Otherwise, I would suggest going to the same cafe we did :)

[@Vanshaj-z5h]

Which hotel did you stay in, how far is it from the old quarters

[@heidisarol]

Concon House and its right in the old quarter :)

[@JayGurbuxani]

Hi! My friends and I are going to Hanoi on September. When you say tripods are not allowed in some places, can I just hide it inside my bag? Or are they going to check and confiscate it? ☺️

[@heidisarol]

Hi Jay! Enjoy your trip! From my experience they told me to get rid of it, that there weren't any places to store it but I don't think theyll go as far as to confiscate it so maybe best to leave it at home for certain attractions :)

[@atmidnights1106]

how much was the range of expenses for your stay? not including accom and airfare :)

[@heidisarol]

For pocket money I exchanged 200 euro but I still had quite a bit left over :)

[@mvccarlos]

Wow! Is Vietnamese coffee strong? How many hours is it from Tokyo?

[@heidisarol]

Its really really strong and acidic but I liked it! 🥰💕 Its about 4:30 or 5 hours from Tokyo. Might be weird of me to say but the walkability of Hanoi reminded me a bit of Kyoto. Tons of old buildings and unique architecture.

[@mvccarlos]

@@heidisarol oh really? Interesting! I’m sure the food is good and locals seem friendly. Hope you enjoyed. You take care.

[@heidisarol]

@@mvccarlos Yes!! The food is so cheap too 😭💕 Definitely going back hehe

[@letshavebreakfasttonight1220]

What attraction does not allow you to take your tripod inside? I am planning to solo travel in Hanoi, and I will be taking my tripod with me. 😅

[@heidisarol]

Hi! From my experience it was just Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum

[@letshavebreakfasttonight1220]
