Hanoi in 2 days: The Best Itinerary – RooWanders roowanders.com

A comprehensive 2-day itinerary through Hanoi, Vietnam, featuring all the good food, key attractions, lodgings and costing! Check this out!

Well, blame it on the weather forecast I’ve been reading months before our arrival. August is considered one of the hottest and wettest months in North Vietnam with frequent showers and storms. Not suitable for hiking in Sapa or visiting Halong Bay.

Guess what? I had none of that, except an hour of a sudden flash pour on our last evening, just before dinner. Luck maybe?

That aside, two days in Hanoi city sat just nice with me, now that I’ve long completed my trip. My travel buddy and I managed to see all the must-sees and eat all the must-eats before we boarded the one-way night train to Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park for our Hang Son Doong biggest cave expedition.

Besides, Hanoi is so accessible from Singapore that I’m bound to return to explore the rest of North Vietnam.

In this post, we’ll explore the attractions I’ve been to ✨in detail✨ and how I structured them, the eventual cost of my trip, the places to stay in Hanoi, and trips beyond Hanoi.
