Getting To Hanoi - Air, Road and Train
Hanoi is connected to the rest of Vietnam and the world by multiple means of transportation.
Getting Around Hanoi - Car, Bus, Bike
Most sights and accommodations are in Hoan Kiem District (downtown), centered around the picturesque Hoan Kiem Lake, and Ba Dinh, Dong Da or Hai Ba Trung districts. Most addresses include a district name. You'll want to plan your travels accordingly because getting from one district to another can be time-consuming.
