This is so informative! Thank you so much! I'm planning on going to Hanoi soon. Just want to ask if (in your opinion), is the city safe for a female traveller?

[@ianandmar]

Hello, it is safe but you still have to be extra careful. There are tons of foreign travelers/backpackers (male & female) that you will meet everyday that you won't feel isolated :) you'll be fine, just be smart and avoid danger.

Thanks a lot. Will be in Hanoi in two weeks. The taxi fare is now $18.

That bus looks modern, convenient, clean, and safe. I don't understand why didn't the airport officer told you this. Is it a conspiracy, maybe? She should've told you any options available. Same here in Indonesia, airport taxis are crazy! And they conspire to block online taxis (GoCar, GrabCar) to pick passengers. Yes, I agree that public transport comes first. Do you have any videos about public transport in Hanoi?

[@ianandmar]

Bus was pretty decent and convenient for the price :) We were not sure too but we thought maybe it was because of language barrier and trying to explain to a foreigner would be hard so they'll rather tell you to take a cab, LOL! yeah public transport comes first if you are on a budget and not in a hurry. hahaha Unfortunately, we don't have videos about public transport in Hanoi. When we were in Hanoi, we rented a motorbike to roam around the city (best way to travel southeast asia). If you don't know how to ride a bike, most tourist places can be reached by walking. Or you can take a grab or similar services. Last option would be to take a cab and make sure you don't get cheated. hahaha

Hey, a new subscriber here! You have a nice channel! By the way, how long is it to go to the city from the airport? Is it far? I’d like to visit Hanoi on Feb. I’m gonna stay at Old Quarter as well. How long will it be?

Marcus Wijaya Hi, thanks for your kind words :) If you take the public bus it would take about 40 mins to an hour depending on the traffic. Not the fastest but definitely the cheapest (aside from walking) for only US$1++.

Transport is a good point.how to select restaurant.indian do not eat beaf.clothing..safety..stay..hostel and hotels..safety of luggage...pl..explain

[@ianandmar]

Thanks :) Restaurant for Indians? There are so many things to eat in Vietnam. If you don't eat beef or pork, you can eat chicken with rice or noodles, vegetables, or even eat at Indian restaurants. Clothing? You can wear whatever you like. Safety? Wherever you go, even in your own country, It's always a good idea to be cautious and alert with your surroundings. Use your good sense and sound judgement in practical matters. Hostels and hotels? This will depend on your budget but most of the hotel/hostels in Vietnam are fine. Check the reviews online before you book anything. You can also look around the city, pick the hotel/hostel that you like and book on the spot. Safety of Luggage? Most of the time, when you stay in hotel/hostel, there is a vault that you can place your valuables. Book a private room because if you are not comfortable sharing a room with other tourist then you will have a stressful day worrying about your luggage. Book a nice hotel/hostel. That's all :)
