I recommend the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. This historic hotel offers luxurious accommodations and closed to the Old quarter. There are many options for 4 and 5 stars hotels near by depend on your budget.

haha, that was before the post covid travel rush, and it's a short 4-hour ish flight.

Hi, i booked with Klook all the times and it’s very reliable, i haven’t come across an irresponsible vendors. I always compare prices and i find Klook is more competitive compared to get your guide and Viator in Asia

There are many options for 3 stars hotel ($20 - $40) in the old quarter area which is closed to many attractions.

Thank you 😊

What hotel would you recommend ?

@@tloyou We stayed in a few! My favourite was probably a place called “Camellia” because the area had a local feel to it and also there were nice food and coffee spots nearby. Just depends where you want to stay really! We stayed in the old town for a few nights too but it’s a bit too loud and tourist heavy for our liking.

@@HenryWrideExplores thank you for the tips..

Hi there, happy to share. His WhatsApp is Iwakmangku +62 812-3837-7255. I met him in 2022, hopefully he still have the same numbers.

It was a great city, awesome mix of modern and history, definitely recommend!!

Hi there, Girona old town is a very small so we walked around to check out all the sights. It was very close to the train station. There are bikes you can rent from an app like their local Uber. The popular sites are the main square, the Eiffel bridge, the medieval streets and the basilica, and the old bath house. They offer walking tours, and even one for Game of Thrones fan.

No, turn out you can pay directly by credit card on the bus, they have a POS on the bus, just tell the bus driver how many tickets you need.

Not this bus, the tour will stop at rest stop every 2 hours for bathroom break, they have street vendors selling food there too. The bus i saw with bathroom are the larger bus and sleeper bus for long distance travel

Hi there, I booked the tour via Klook so I can't recommend an actual agency. The tour I went on was very well organized and the guide did a great job. I like Klook because of it's slightly more affordable when I compare the same or almost the same tours on other platform like Getyourguide or Viator. Hope this helps!

Thank you thank you!! 😉

Thank you :)

Thank you so so much!!! Your comment made my day.

Thank you, glad you like it!

Hi there, my hotel is called Hanoi Brilliant Hotel and Spa. There are so many options in the area, pick the best that fits your need.

that's a great time to go, before it gets too hot and school ends. Have a blast!

Hi there, I think it's a personal preference it that give you peace of mind. I didn't get one before travelling to Vietnam and other Asian countries. I would be mindful and refrain myself from petting local animals.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I have put your suggestions into my wishlist. Costa Brava will always have a special place in my heart and i know I’m coming back one day and stay longer.

you can exchange US dollar to local currency. I wont bet on local shops accepting your dollar, if they do, they tend to accept it at a higher rate than exchange.

Greetings!!

Hi, I believe there's a pickup window (8am - 9pm) at SIM card counter. If your phone is unlocked and compatible, i suggest ordering eSIM online and you can do the setup yourself. Also, if you can't do it at the airport, there are vendor stall or phone store in touristy area that you can get SIM card there. Seoul has a lot of public Wifi, I survived 10 days in South Korea and didn't get my SIM card until I landed in Jeju.

truly a historical rich place and full of old and new charms.

Appreciate the kind words, have a great trip :)

There are many money exchange shops in the city so if you’d like, you can exchange some at the airport so you have local changes on you. The best rate is ATM assuming your bank don’t charge you any fees and exchange rate. Honestly, if you want to maximize your time, flying is the quickest. If not, consider looking into sleeping train or buses. Bus is definitely the cheapest but it will take around 15 hours and if you get car sick easily, that may not be a pleasant ride.

thank you, you were very thorough, my bank definitely asks for change but does the ATM take charge for give money? in Thailand yes

@@samp9953 yes, i believe all ATM that’s not from your bank will charge a fee. I’m also lucky my bank refund me the changes at month end. Sometime they will ask for a conversion fee of a small percentage, don’t accept those, your bank will make the conversion, that’s their sneaky way to get more money from you.

Hi, we have no problem speaking English with folks there. It’s not super touristy, i highly recommend checking it out.

Hi, my fanny pack is a no brand bag from Amazon, the selection is endless. ☺️ i don’t wear any bags of value which i hope reduce my chance of being targeted. Bus 86 has a few stops with one being in old town area, near Hoan Kiem lake. You should check the bus route for the stops to find out which stop would be closest to your hotel. Also check the last departure of the day and plan accordingly based on when your plane arrives.

No menu, it’s a buffet with chicken, rice, noodles, other small dishes and fresh fruits

@@hellowinnie Thanks for this, is there any veg option in it? because I'm a vegetarian person.

@@shivanishah4143 hi, i believe the rice and noodles doesn’t have animal protein in them. I would double check with that company you book with to make sure they have veg option. Bring a snack with you just in case.
