Top 6 Travel Blogs About Hanoi You Should Follow
Hanoi has countless neighborhoods, food spots, museums, and day trips—and it can feel overwhelming to plan. One of the fastest ways to build a smart itinerary is to follow a few high-quality travel blogs that consistently publish Hanoi-specific guides (not just generic Vietnam overviews).
Below are 6 travel blogs worth following if you want practical tips, honest recommendations, and ready-to-use itineraries for Hanoi.
1) Vietnam Coracle (Hanoi destination & food/drink guides)
Known for in-depth, map-based guides across Vietnam, with dedicated Hanoi sections and practical transport notes. Great when you want structured exploration beyond the basics.
2) Indie Traveller (Hidden Hanoi ideas)
Helpful for travelers who want a different angle—less touristy spots, local experiences, and “what to do beyond the usual checklist.”
3) Road to Frame (First-timer survival-style guide)
Easy to read, first-timer friendly, and focused on what surprises visitors most—crossing streets, scams to avoid, what to book early, and how to stay comfortable.
4) Roowanders (Hanoi itinerary planning)
Strong itinerary posts with pacing suggestions—helpful when you have 2–3 days and want an efficient plan with food stops and realistic timing.
5) Bucketlist Bri (Multi-day itinerary style)
Good for travelers who want longer stays (4–5 days) and prefer day-by-day structure: what to do first, what to group together, and where to spend evenings.
6) Expat / digital nomad-style Hanoi guides
If you’re staying longer for work or business, these guides often cover practical essentials: SIM cards, coworking, neighborhoods, budgeting, and daily routines.
How to use these blogs effectively
- Pick 1 itinerary post (2–5 days) as your baseline plan.
- Use 1 “hidden gems” guide to add 2–3 unique stops.
- Save locations to Google Maps to reduce decision fatigue on the ground.
- Check update dates for pricing and opening hours (Hanoi changes fast).
Staying near Keangnam (business-friendly base)
If your trip includes meetings near Keangnam Landmark 72 or the western business districts, staying in that area can reduce commuting time. Use the blogs above for sightseeing plans, and choose a convenient base for work/rest.
