What it changes for your trip
- Tet (February): many shops and restaurants close for several days, especially from Tet day to day three, and transport fills up weeks ahead. The streets are quiet and full of flowers and decorations. More in the best time to visit Hanoi.
- 30 April and 1 May: a very busy weekend towards Ha Long, Sapa and the beaches. Book trains and hotels early.
- 2 September: central Hanoi is lively and some streets close to traffic; see National Day in Hanoi. The Mid-Autumn Festival (mid-September 2027) has its own guide: Mid-Autumn in Hanoi.
- Prices: hotel rates and tickets rise on break days and are lower outside them.
To lock in an area before rooms go, see where to stay in Hanoi.
Booking
If your stay overlaps one of these breaks, book a hotel with free cancellation as soon as your dates are fixed, then compare. The Hanoi Authority editorial team.
