i like for this answer.
Ho Chi Minh. Because i live in there 😝
Hanoi! Much more traditional
Hanoi for me
HANOI for sure. Much more charming & traditional with the right amount of Vietnamese craziness 🤣
I spent 6 days there first time, wasn’t my favorite, very crowded and polluted in city. Going back in March, only to fly in for couple days transitioning to other cities. Looking forward to Hanoi!
I am a first timer in Viet Nam.
Overall I prefer Hanoi. I like the traditional vibe of the centre and the Vietnamese food is outstanding. Pollution is dreadful so only small doses.
Hanoi for sure if you want a more traditional Vietnam experience..
Both if you have the time, but I preferred Hanoi over Ho Chi Minh.
