By bicycle from Hai BàTrưng to Cầu Giấy

This ride takes you from Hai Bà Trưng, one of Hanoi’s busiest historic districts, to the ever-buzzing Cầu Giấy area. You’ll cover just under 10 km—perfect for a relaxed morning or evening spin. Most of the route is on paved or asphalt surfaces and tends to stick to quieter or side roads, so you can soak up the city’s sights without too much traffic stress.

Starting in Hai Bà Trưng, known for its vibrant markets and classic colonial architecture, you’ll weave northwest as the city slowly transitions from the old to the new. The ride offers a gentle ascent and descent—nothing too dramatic—making it friendly for casual riders. As you make your way toward Cầu Giấy, you’ll notice the vibe shift to a more modern, student-friendly scene (thanks to all the universities and cool coffee shops popping up here).

In short: smooth roads, a great mix of Hanoi’s charm, and a real taste of how the city blends tradition with modern hustle. Happy pedaling!
