π‘ Transportations: Nothing beats a scooter for getting around - you can rent one for as little as 5 euros a day. Otherwise, there are buses in Hanoi that cost just a few cents. They're air-conditioned, comfortable and cover the city really well. ππ»
For inter-city travel, the cheapest options are either night buses or "limousines", which are minibuses. For around 11 euros you'll get a 3-hour ride.
π‘ Ohers: Don't rely too much on weather apps; they may predict rain all day when all you'll get is a 10-minute shower in the evening.
Also, make sure you research the best time to visit both the North and the Centre, as the weather is completely different in these two regions, but it's definitely a must to experience both!
If you have more time, I recommend you to explore:
π Sa Pa: Fansipan Mountain, Hmong ethnic villages, Sa Pa Market
π Ho Chi Minh City: War Remnants Museum, Reunification Palace, Ben Thanh Market
π Ha Giang: Ha Hiang loop by motorbike
π HuΓ©:Imperial Citadel, Nguyen Emperors' Tombs, Perfume River
