Things to do on holidays in Hanoi

• Wander the Old Quarter. Its narrow streets were once organised by trade, and some still are: Hang Gai is Silk Street and Hang Bac is Silver Street. Come for the shopfronts, merchants’ tube houses and small temples, and stay for the street food.
• Join a street food tour. A guide takes the guesswork out of ordering. Expect pho (beef noodle soup), bun cha (grilled pork with noodles), banh mi (filled baguettes) and egg coffee, a sweet, custardy drink invented in Hanoi.
• Circle Hoan Kiem Lake. Cross the red Huc Bridge to Ngoc Son Temple, then watch the morning tai chi crowd. At weekends, the streets around the lake close to traffic, which makes it a pleasant place to stroll in the evening.
• See a water puppet show. This uniquely northern Vietnamese art form is performed in a pool, with a live folk orchestra. It is short, charming and easy to fit in before dinner.
• Step inside the Temple of Literature. Founded in 1070, it was Vietnam’s first national university and is one of the calmest corners of the city.
• Shop at Dong Xuan Market. One of Hanoi’s biggest covered markets is the place for silk scarves, handicrafts and gifts, with food stalls to fuel the haggling.
• Add a day trip. Ninh Binh’s limestone landscapes are about two hours away by road, and Ha Long Bay is a long day trip or, better, an overnight cruise.

When to go: Hanoi holidays by season

Hanoi has four distinct seasons, and the best time depends on whether you value weather, price or festivals. Autumn and spring are the most comfortable; summer is the cheapest.

• Spring (March to April). Mild, bright and green, with temperatures that suit walking all day. This is one of the two best windows for sightseeing, and prices reflect it.
• Summer (May to August). Hot, humid and often above 30°C, with afternoon downpours. In return, you get the lowest prices, fewer visitors and the strongest value in cheap holidays to Hanoi. Pack a light rain jacket and plan indoor stops for the afternoons.
• Autumn (September to November). Widely considered the best season: clear skies, lower humidity and golden evenings. Hanoi holidays in 2026 are still bookable for late autumn and December departures, and demand builds from late October, so book early.
• Winter (December to February). Winter holidays in Hanoi suit travellers who prefer cool weather to heat. Days are typically around 20°C with cooler nights, and the skies can be grey and drizzly in February, so bring a jacket for evenings. Christmas and Lunar New Year push prices up. For Hanoi holidays in 2027, aim for March or April if you want settled spring weather, or October and November for the autumn sweet spot.

Where to stay in Hanoi

Pick the hotel for the neighbourhood and the experience as much as the star rating.

• Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. This 1901 landmark in the French Quarter is the benchmark for luxury Hanoi holidays. Beyond the elegant rooms, guests can tour the wartime bunker beneath the hotel.
• Hilton Hanoi Opera. A polished five-star beside the Opera House, handy for the lake, galleries and the city’s best café streets.
• Lotte Hotel Hanoi. Modern and tall, with a high-floor bar, a pool and a spa. The sunset views over the city are the main draw.
• Hanoi La Siesta Hotel & Spa. A small, warmly run Old Quarter hotel blending Vietnamese design with modern comforts, plus a spa and rooftop bar. It puts you in the middle of the street food scene.
• Grand Plaza Hanoi and JM Marvel Hotel & Spa. Reliable, well-equipped options when you want comfort and facilities without the top-end price.
