Brief
- Try Hanoi specialties such as phở, bún chả, chả cá, and egg coffee. Street food is generally popular, but choose busy vendors with high turnover and avoid uncooked ingredients or ice of uncertain origin.
- Hanoi's tap water is not considered safe to drink untreated. Use sealed bottled or properly filtered water, including for brushing teeth.
- Traffic is dense and chaotic, especially around the Old Quarter. Take care when crossing roads and use reputable taxis or ride-hailing services.
Safety and health
- Dengue is a year-round risk in Vietnam, including Hanoi. Use repellent, wear clothing that covers the skin, and stay in rooms with screens or air conditioning. (
cdc.gov)
- Avoid mosquito bites more generally because Zika is also listed as a risk in Vietnam; pregnant travellers should discuss Zika precautions with a healthcare professional. (
- Avoid swimming, wading, or bathing in untreated freshwater because of schistosomiasis. After heavy rain or flooding, avoid muddy water and floodwater, cover open wounds, and avoid contact with wet soil because of melioidosis risk. (
- Hanoi has better medical facilities than much of Vietnam, but care can be expensive and may require payment up front. Comprehensive travel insurance and access to a private international clinic are advisable. (
