Hanoi is the city of chaos that works somehow, the city that has all the Vietnamese street food you can imagine. You can spend days after days just wandering around and trying as many dishes as you can possibly imagine.
The nightlife in Hanoi is awesome and surprising. You can drink cheap beer and enjoy the cool atmosphere of the city.
Free tour in the old quarter
Hanoi Free Tours is a company that offers free tours (based on tips). The guides there are Vietnamese students who work in this company in order to practice their English and to earn some money.
Our guide was an 18-year-old guy that speaks English really well. The tour lasted about 3 hours. We were the only ones on this tour (just me and Roman) so it was like a private tour and it was awesome.
Our guide told us about the history of Hanoi and Vietnam in general, he knew a lot of stuff. He shared with us stories about the way he lives. We asked him many questions and he was so nice and answered everything. He even took us to his favorite place to eat sandwiches and to a hidden gem to drink coffee with a view to the lake. He also gave us tips and recommendations.
I really recommend this type of tour. The company offers other tours too, like in the French quarter or a food tour.
Waterpark inside a mall – Vinpearl Water Park
A great option for a rainy day. I wrote more about it in the post “Water Park Inside a Mall in Hanoi, Vietnam”. Also, in the mall, there are other activities, like 3d movies and ice skating so those are also great options.
A Snake meal in the Snake Village
An amazing, exotic, and tasty experience. If you are looking for an adventurous meal this is something you have to try. The whole experience is unforgettable. We went there with an Austrian couple we met in Tam Coc and we had an amazing time.
