Hanoi questions
Is 4 days enough for Hanoi?
4 days covers the main sites if you group walks in the Old Quarter and use short taxi rides between locations. Book the water puppet show ahead to avoid sold-out shows.
Do I need to book the water puppet show ahead?
Book tickets online or at the theater the day before. Prices start at 100,000 VND per seat and shows run multiple times daily.
How do I get from the Old Quarter to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum?
Walk 20 minutes or take a 50,000 VND taxi ride. Arrive before 10 a.m. to join the queue on open days.
What is the best way to visit Train Street in Hanoi?
Enter via a side alley near the Old Quarter and stay off the tracks. Go in the morning to avoid tour groups and cafes that charge for seating.
