The Property — Khách Sạn An Phú 1
Khách Sạn An Phú 1 is a straightforward three-star hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter, offering clean, functional rooms and a central location. The lobby is modest but welcoming, with a small check-in desk, some dark wood furniture, and a permanent scent of lemongrass. It suits budget-conscious travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city on foot and just need a quiet, comfortable base at night.
Chronicles of Hanoi
Hanoi was founded in 1010 when Emperor Lý Thái Tổ moved the capital to Thăng Long (Rising Dragon) on the site of the present city. Its architecture layers a millennium of influence: ancient Vietnamese temples, French colonial villas from the 19th century, Soviet-style blocks, and modern high-rises. The Old Quarter's 36 streets each historically sold a specific good—from silk to silver—a pattern still visible today. Contemporary Hanoi is a careful blend of tradition and rapid development, where a motorbike swarm shares the road with vendors hawking bún chả and young creatives open cafés in centuries-old tube houses. Its cultural identity is defined by a deeply ingrained reverence for education, family, and phở.
Best Time to Visit
Full Hanoi guide →Best months
October, November, and March: dry, cool, comfortable for walking, with less rain and manageable tourist numbers.
Peak / festival surge
October–December and February–April. Tet (Lunar New Year, late Jan/Feb) fills hotels and causes price spikes. Christmas and New Year also bring crowds. Hotel rates can double in these periods.
Budget shoulder season
May and September: hotel rates fall, humidity is lower than midsummer, and crowds thin after Tet or before the main autumn peak.
Weather & packing
Hanoi has a subtropical climate with four distinct seasons; summer (June–August) is hot, humid, and rainy. Pack light, breathable clothing, a small umbrella or waterproof jacket, and sturdy walking shoes for wet pavements.
Live City Briefing — Hanoi
- The city has restricted motorbikes in the Old Quarter core during weekends (Friday 7pm to Sunday midnight) to encourage pedestrian zones — a bonus for walking but check road closures if arriving by taxi.
- A new extended metro line (Line 3, Nhon–Hanoi Station section) is fully operational, offering a fast, air-conditioned alternative to traffic from the west of the city.
- As of July 2026, the Mỹ Đình National Stadium area is hosting a series of summer concerts (K-pop and local stars); expect some road congestion near the stadium on weekends.

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Vietnamese Dong, VND
Avoid airport and tourist bureaux — they give poor rates. Jewellery shops and gold shops in the Old Quarter offer the best rates for cash USD.
Cards are accepted in mid-range restaurants, hotels, and larger shops, but street vendors, markets, and smaller eateries are cash-only. Contactless and mobile pay (e.g. Apple Pay) are rare outside big chains.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated for good service; round up taxi fares or leave 5-10% at nicer restaurants. Hotel staff might get 20,000-50,000 VND for carrying bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A glass of egg coffee or iced black coffee from a street-side stall or local cafe — about 15,000-25,000 VND.
A bowl of pho or bun cha from a local stall — around 30,000-50,000 VND.
A main of grilled meat or fish with rice and vegetables at a bia hoi corner — roughly 40,000-60,000 VND.
Beer Corner (Bia Hoi Junction) and the alleys around Hang Buom, Hang Be, and Ma May streets are packed with cheap street stalls selling everything from banh mi to seafood.
Chain minimarts like VinMart+ and Circle K are common; for better produce and prices, head to local wet markets like Dong Xuan or Hom Market.
The Old Quarter markets (e.g. Night Market on weekends, Hang Da Market) and streets like Hang Gai and Hang Buom offer affordable clothing, silk, and souvenirs.
Bus (5,000-7,000 VND per ride) is the cheapest; use GrabBike for short trips (around 10,000-15,000 VND). From the airport, take bus 86 (40,000 VND) to the Old Quarter.
Always eat where locals queue — street food is cheap and safe. Haggle at markets but keep it good-natured. Buy bottled water and snacks from minimarts, not tourist shops.

Top Attractions in Hanoi
💡 Start at Hang Bac (Silver Street) around 9am – the silver workshops are fascinating. Avoid motorbikes by sticking to the narrowest alleys. Street food here costs 20-40,000 VND a dish.
💡 Walk the lake at 6am to see locals doing tai chi and badminton. Sunset is crowded with photographers but worth it for the light on Turtle Tower.
💡 Book the 5:15pm show to avoid tourist crowds. Sit in row C or D – row A gets wet from splashes. Arrive 20 minutes early to see the puppets being prepared backstage (ask nicely).
💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid tour groups. The back garden has a banyan tree and koi pond that most people miss.
💡 The outdoor section is the highlight – allow 2 hours. Go on a Saturday when ethnic minority guides sometimes give free tours. Taxi from the centre costs 50,000 VND.
