Beer Ta Hien

Beers (Bia) at Ta Hien street, Hoan Kiem is always a hot spot at night, especially in the summer. Take a tiny plastic stool to sit, drink some beers, chit chat with the Vietnamese and see the disorder of this lively area!

Old Quarter Walking street
From 7:00 PM on Friday to 12:00 AM Sunday, some main streets close to Hoan Kiem Lake such as Dinh Tien Hoang, Dinh Le, Nguyen Xi, Hang Dau, Trang Tien, Bao Khanh,… will become walking streets 24/24 with no vehicles allowed to get in. People interested in going for a walk could visit these streets in the Old quarter to find such Hanoi peaceful moments in the morning and engage in such fun activities (doing yoga, playing Vietnamese traditional games, singing and dancing along Vietnamese music, etc) with the locals in the evening.

Bars

Easy to find multiple bars along Ta Hien street. Let’s head to Ta Hien and get drunk with your friends in some Vietnamese bars!
