When visiting Hanoi be prepared for its hectic, bustling traffic, but know it is also an unmissable stop on your Southeast Asia itinerary. You definitely won’t regret backpacking Hanoi!
So, how much should you expect to spend if you’re backpacking Hanoi? Well, at the cheapest, I would suggest a budget of $25 USD per day.
Explore Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Filled with Buddhist temples and colonial architecture, the Old Quarter is Hanoi’s historic centre.
Tour the charming Temple of Literature. Built-in 1070 for Confucius, the Temple of Literature is a picturesque place of study that highlights Vietnamese architecture.
The best area to stay in Hanoi is definitely Hanoi’s city centre, i.e., the area surrounding Hoan Kiem Lake.
