Money-Saving Tips for Hanoi
- Cross the street with confidence — walk slowly, don't stop, motorbikes will go around you
- Egg coffee at Café Giang or Café Dinh is a must-try local invention
- Book Ha Long Bay as a 2-day overnight cruise, not a day trip — the day trip is rushed
- Use Grab Bike for short rides; it's $1-2 and faster than any car
- Visit during shoulder season (October to April (dry, cooler)) for the best balance of weather and prices
