Hanoi Street Food Weekend

Eat your way through the Old Quarter with pho, grilled meat noodles, egg coffee and fresh beer, plus a weekend night market and West Lake cafés.

A food-focused weekend getaway. On Day 1, join a guided Old Quarter street food walking tour, visit the weekend night market on the Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian street, then drink fresh beer on Ta Hien Beer Street. On Day 2, enjoy breakfast and coffee by West Lake, then eat pho and visit Train Street in the afternoon before leaving. You stay in the Old Quarter, where restaurants are within walking distance, so it suits groups of friends or solo foodies.
