Here are a few things no one tells you before visiting Hanoi Train Street?*
? You can’t just walk in anymore
Police often block entrances. The easiest way is to *sit at a café near the tracks. Buying a drink works as your entry ticket.
⏰ Train timings change frequently
Always ask the café staff before sitting.
Typical timings:
Weekends: morning + evening trains
Weekdays → 7:00 PM / 7:45 PM / 8:45 PM / 9:30 PM
☕ 2. Best cafés to watch the train
• Railway Café
• Hanoi 1990s
• Nam Vy Coffee
• Coffee Chill 96
• Beo Coffee
? 3. Best time for photos & reels
6 PM – 8 PM (lights + trains)
For content creators this place is amazing.
But personally the experience felt slightly overrated.
Still… watching a train pass just inches away from you
is definitely something unique.
? Pro Tip
Message cafés on WhatsApp before visiting
because seats fill fast.
