Whether you go for sunrise or sunset, the energy is always next level! Must-See in Hanoi: Hanoi Train Street Location: P. Trần Phú, Hàng Bông, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội 100000, Vietnam (Open all day, year-round) Why it's epic: Sip local coffee just inches away from the rails while trains rumble past. It’s Instagram gold and a surreal slice of city life — but don’t get too caught up in the moment! Insider Tips: - Safety First: Do NOT ignore the risk! When the train’s about to roll in, listen to locals and café staff; stay behind marked lines and clear the tracks ASAP. Don’t try for risky selfies! - Best Time to Visit: Mornings for soft light and fewer crowds, or catch an atmospheric sunset. If the weather’s cloudy or rainy, it’s still photogenic – just bring a light jacket. - Coffee Vibes: Pop into a trackside café for traditional Vietnamese coffee while you wait. Most places will give you a heads up before the train passes. - Street Scene: Expect a mix of pedestrians, zippy motorbikes, and local color in every corner — feels uniquely Hanoi!
