Amidst the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, have you ever craved for moments of tranquility and peace in your soul? If you're wondering where to go solo in Hanoi, let me suggest the most ideal solo travel destinations in Hanoi for you. With this experience, you'll surely find the most relaxing and enjoyable moments.
Best Time to Solo Travel Hanoi
Among the most suitable destinations for solo travel, we cannot overlook the millennia-old capital, Hanoi. It not only gathers cultural centers, social hubs, vibrant entertainment districts but also boasts beautiful landscapes and famous historical and spiritual landmarks.
Autumn and winter in Hanoi are the best times to explore solo.
Hanoi experiences distinct four seasons, allowing you to venture out solo at any time of the year. However, spring often brings prolonged drizzles and humid weather. Summer sees high temperatures, prompting many to seek relief in the outskirts.
That's why Mytour recommends choosing the best time to solo explore Hanoi, which is during autumn and early winter. During this time, the weather is pleasant and romantic, allowing you to leisurely rediscover Hanoi alone for moments of tranquility.

Means of Transport and Solo Travel in Hanoi
To embark on a solo journey in Hanoi, you can choose various means of transportation for convenient exploration of scenic spots. The best option remains using a motorbike for distant destinations with long travel times.
If not, you can opt for buses to explore inner-city destinations or coaches for suburban areas, both of which are suitable. Cycling around or walking is also a decent idea.
