The Best Way to Discover Hanoi!

bia hoi

Bia Hoi is the cultural and social heart of local Hanoians. Introduced by the Czechs over 40 years ago it remains the favourite pastime of the city's residents. Served everywhere from roadside locations with simple plastic stools and folding tables on the street, to grand bia gardens where you’ll be hard pressed to find a table.

With over 10 years experience in Hanoi and hundreds of Bia Hoi's sampled, we'll show you where to find the freshest beer, the tastiest food, the best views and the friendliest bia hoi's. Along the way we pass many of Hanoi's famous sites and learn about it's people, culture and history.

"Bia Hoi is as much a social experience as a beer, so don't be surprised if you're invited to join your fellow patrons in celebration."


xe lam

Exploring the city in a Xe Lam (a 3-wheeled motorbike, similar to Thailand's Tuk Tuk's) it's safer than a motorbike and quicker than a car, with comfortable seats and protection from the sun/rain. This is the perfect way to negoiate the Bia Hois.
