Is it safe to drink tap water in Hanoi?

Tap water in Hanoi is generally not considered safe for drinking without treatment. Local authorities and health experts recommend using bottled water for consumption. Bottled water is widely available and affordable, usually costing around 10,000 VND ($0.40) for a 1.5-liter bottle.

If you prefer to use tap water, it should be boiled for at least three minutes or filtered using a reliable water purification system to ensure safety. When dining out, opt for drinks made with bottled or boiled water and avoid ice cubes that may be made from untreated tap water.

Ninh Binh to Hanoi Destination Reviews

SN
Everything worked perfectly and smoothly. They called me before departure and when I had trouble being the right place at right time they contacted and waited for me. First a minivan took me to limo, limo drived to Hanoi and a car took my to the right arrival place.

As a solo female traveller, this wasn't the most comforting ride. I booked day of travel (understand that this may have caused the lack of communication) and got a call 1 hour before the scheduled pick up time saying that the bus was at the pick up. Was due to be collected at 6pm (phone call at 4.30pm). I hadn't had any confirmation of numberplate from the company. I rushed back to my accommodation to find the bus wasnt there. It came around 5.20pm and was messaging updates. When the bus pulled up, it didn't check my ticket or name and barely stopped to allow me to get on. I was the only traveller on the bus for the duration of the journey which is fine. The journey was comfortable and I arrived at the expected time just round the corner from my accommodation which was good, the driver directed me as the road was closed.

Bus and seats were good, but nobody advised me to go down at the proper stop to change bus for the final destination, so the bus took me to a wrong spot and I had to call a grab car to go back. The bus is 10 seats and the in the final part we were only 3 on the bus. not realizing there was a unexpected passenger means nobody is taking care of the customers

Car was fine and the driver was nice but constantly on his phone, which was a little unnerving.

We got to our destination on time without any issue. Communication was a bit confusing at time as we had to wait at another stop, but no impact on us.
