Eat & shop like locals

Egg coffee is a Hanoi’s beverage highlight. Giang Café dated back to 1946 when a former bartender of Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi decided to open his own coffee shop and created this signature drink. It was invented in the days when milk was scarce. The bold flavor of coffee put away the raw egg’s taste, while the yolks increase the creamy flavor.

Hanoians also love drinking tea at sidewalk iced tea shops, which are everywhere, from busy streets to small alleys and pavements. On summer evenings, young people gather at tea vendors around St. Joseph's Cathedral to enjoy tea and chat the entire evening.

Early birds, can come to the authentic Quang Ba flower market - one of Hanoi's places to visit. Surrounded by fresh colorful fragrant flowers with all sorts of varieties, the market is bustling of people coming and going with flowers on motorbikes and cycles. It's not only a place for visitors to pick up some pretty lilies, orchids or daisies, but also a chance to understand how important flowers are in Hanoian's daily life.

Last but not least is a thrilling experience on a bike around the city. Vespa Adventures Tour stands out of many typical city tours as they provide a combined viewpoint of both a tourist and a local, and a thrill sitting on the back of vintage Vespas. From the historic St. Joseph’s Cathedral or Old Quarter to Long Bien Bridge or Ngoc Ha Market. The Hanoi After Dark Tour is a gastronomy tour, that Vespa Adventure take travellers to popular local restaurants to enjoy must-try Vietnamese dishes like grilled pork noodles, fried spring rolls, and wraps.  The tour also adds in places to enjoy old-school Jazz and traditional Vietnamese music.

No matter what travellers are looking for, Hanoi has something for everyone. We hope you are spoilt for the brilliant things to do in Hanoi as much as we are. Enjoy!
