Getting to & around Hanoi

Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) serves as Hanoi’s primary airport for international and domestic flights. Many hotels near the airport offer convenient shuttle service for pick-up and drop-off.

Motorcycles rent for $5–10 a day, but Hanoi’s traffic can overwhelm first-timers. Pedicabs (traditional cyclo) cost $4–9 for quick Old Quarter rides. Grab, taxis, and buses are cheap—$1–5 for rides and $0.30–$0.50 for buses, though routes may be confusing.
