Rank : 8.6 (average on 7 votes)

Coordinates : 21.026167, 105.851846 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Street, portraits, oriental architecture. Unlike what I saw spostandomi towards the south of the country (though I have stopped at Hue) I noticed that people in the north is much more open and friendly.

Recommended equipment : Difficult to recommend because of the focal find a bit 'of everything. I would say focal medium-short to long. A versatile zoom can be useful because the humidity is very high and change lenses street is not the best. Even if you bring various optics I suggest you move light as temperature and humidity at certain times of the year are almost unbearable. From the point of view of security is a very quiet town. I felt much safer to roam the streets of Hanoi at night rather than in the late evening in Milan.

Best months : Visited in late August and early September, although the period milgiore should be between November and February, far from the rainy season. I recommend, however, to choose the period based on what you want to see in other parts of Vietnam.

How to get there : Noi Bai International Airport. For those visiting Vietnam the main international airports are the one in Hanoi and one in Ho Chi Minh City.

Visits : Visits to pagodas and museums are obviously not free, but the odds are low. If you organize the trip with an agency and you have a guide you can take advantage of packages that already include several visits. The change is still very favorable and certainly not you give up a visit because of the high price. On the streets of Hanoi you will find several agencies that organize trips of one or more days around the city. Do not miss the street markets (I suggest you get up very early in the morning to see the people who head to the markets with their cargo of goods) and feel free to browse through the streets of downtown in the evening.

Notes : If you visit a city of south-east Asia for the first time you will be impressed by the traffic of scooters. Prepare to immerse yourself in a chaotic environment like probably you've never seen. The first impact can be difficult but once in the way they think might like it too! At the Hanoi city I dedicated a <url = http: //www.duckphoto.net/articles.php? Lang = en & id = 18> Article on my website </ url>, but you found other places of Vietnam.
