Hanoi Airport to Old Town: Transfers and Taxi

Transfers from Hanoi Airport to Old Town

Also known as the Old Quarter, this district in the Vietnamese capital is one of the city’s top spots. Not only it is the main touristic sight, but also a business center. 

If your holiday or business trip accommodation is located there, you will definitely need to know how to get there from the air hub. You might think of a cab service or public transport, but we recommend you the safest and most convenient option - a private transfer service. 

The air hub you are going to land at is quite big as it is the main one in the capital. To avoid hassle with cabs and struggling with your luggage upon arrival, book a vehicle with us in advance. The price will be known beforehand and will not change, and our driver will be awaiting you in the arrivals hall before you pass the passport control.

The price for a ride will cost 25 euro and last 40 minutes.

Taxi from Hanoi Airport to Old Town

The official cabs at the terminals are usually white with a yellow or red stripe on the side. They belong to different cab companies so the rates may differ. The vehicles should be metered so pay attention to it as soon as you get into the car. The cars are usually lined up on the arrivals level at both Domestic and International terminals. The ride downtown lasts about half an hour and costs around 350,000 VND (13 euro).

While it may seem that taking a cab is more advantageous than a transfer, think about the language barrier and problems with a currency exchange which will not be the case if you book with Kiwitaxi. Besides, we offer additional services such as child seats or extra waiting time which are not available among local drivers.

Public Transport 

Alternatively, you can opt for public transport which is much cheaper than riding by car. There is no train connection, but there is a bus line. You can take a bus N17 which goes directly to the city center. The travel time is around 1 hour and the fare is as little as 2-3 euros. The bus departs quite often but does not operate at night. 

If you land late, you might also be late for the last bus going downtown. In this case, booking our service would be the best solution.

About the Route 

The distance between the air hub and the old city center is 26 kilometers. The route goes through industrial areas and urban areas, crossing the river on the way. Traveling to your destination, you can see the versatility of Hanoi and make your first impressions.
