Known as the heart of Vietnam , Hanoi is the country's capital city and is actually one of the most ancient in the world.

With lovely locals, an incredible food scene and a welcoming atmosphere, it is an affordable and fun destination for travellers.

The local currency is the Vietnamese Dong, and one U.S. dollar is equal to roughly around 23,000 Vietnamese Dong.

The best way to get around Hanoi if you need transport is using Grab .

Grab rates were almost half the price of taxis we flagged on the street.

If you are staying in and around the old corner, getting around on foot is no trouble.

Make sure that you have a Maps app that you can use offline.

When it comes time to pack, I would really recommend that you wear clothes in shoes.

You should definitely sample the Vietnamese coffee, including egg coffee, but I know that Matt likes it. Try things like a bunch of Oh my goodness but me yes, make sure you're trying Vietnamese rice paper rolls and immersing yourself in those local flavours.
