Hà Nội

Hanoi is the hub for buses into northern Vietnam and the start or end of most north–south open-tour trips. Long-distance buses use several stations around the edge of the city, and many tourist sleeper and limousine companies collect passengers from offices or hotels in and around the Old Quarter.

Arriving in Hanoi

A ticket that says “Hanoi” may end at a terminal well outside the Old Quarter. If you booked with a tourist company, check whether it drops at its own office or offers a shuttle; otherwise allow time and a taxi or ride-hail fare into the centre.

  • Check which terminal your ticket uses: the four stations are far apart.
  • Some services from the mountains have dropped passengers on the western outskirts. Confirm the final stop when you book.
  • Noi Bai Airport has its own direct buses to several destinations, so you may not need to go into the city first.
