Hanoi, Vietnam: What to Pack

August 15, 2014

Summer time in Hanoi is hot, with temperatures averaging 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so we suggest packing light cotton dresses or pants, a hat and some sunnies. You’re also going to want good walking shoes, a bag that you can go marketing with and a camera. An umbrella is also a good idea since rain showers are not uncommon, especially in August and September.

If you’re traveling in the winter (Oct-March), or planning a trip further North than Hanoi to a mountain town like Sa Pa, don’t forget to take a sweater or a jacket for the cooler evenings. A light shawl can also come in handy to cover up, especially if you’re planning on visiting any temples or shrines.
