Leaving the sandy shores of My Khe Beach for the thousand-year-old streets of the capital is a move from Vietnam's relaxed, sunny coast to its deep historical heart. Hanoi brings motorbike-filled alleys, steaming bowls of street-side bun cha and the quiet dignity of the Old Quarter. The route covers about 800 km along the narrow waist of the country, where the mountains often meet the sea.
Flying is the standard way to cover that distance, and on a clear day a window seat shows the rugged coastline from above. You can compare options and book on GoAsia.cc.
