Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is a vibrant city rich in history, culture, and modern energy. Located in the north of the country, it blends centuries-old architecture with rapid urban development. The Old Quarter is the heart of the city, known for its narrow streets, French colonial buildings, bustling markets, and street food vendors offering local specialties like pho and bun cha. Hanoi’s cost of living is relatively low compared to Western cities, making it attractive for expats, especially remote workers and teachers. The city has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, rainy summers and cool, dry winters. Public transportation is expanding, though many residents rely on motorbikes. English is spoken in tourist and expat-friendly areas, but learning basic Vietnamese will be helpful for daily life. The healthcare system includes international hospitals. Hanoi is also a gateway to natural attractions like Ha Long Bay and Sapa. While it’s a busy and sometimes chaotic city, many find its charm lies in its contrasts—between ancient temples and modern cafés, peaceful lakes and noisy traffic, tradition and change.
