Hanoi Itinerary
by a local
Hanoi isn't a tourist pho bowl with a photo menu on Ma May at four times the price. Hanoians eat bún chả at Đắc Kim for lunch, drink egg coffee at Giảng, and cross the road with commitment — the scooters flow around you.
Pho breakfasts, Old Quarter, egg-coffee cafés.
The three swaps a local would make
Photo-menu pho on Ma May
Phở Gia Truyền at 6am (open only until sold out)
Overpriced Ha Long Bay day cruise
Overnight junk with a real operator (Bhaya, Indochina Sails)
Water Puppet Theatre premium
Standing-tier ticket + egg coffee at Café Giảng
