How much does it cost to visit the train street in Hanoi?

Visiting the train street in Hanoi is free, but there is an important nuance. During the train's passage, you can only stay on the street if you buy something at one of the local cafes.

Prices at cafes on this street are significantly inflated compared to other establishments in Hanoi:

• Soft drinks - from 60,000 dong
• Beer - from 60,000 dong

This is 2-3 times more expensive than in regular Vietnamese cafes. If you don't buy anything, the vendors and railway traffic controllers will escort you away, sometimes even using force.

Thus, the actual cost of the visit is at least 60,000 dong per person - the price of the cheapest drink. Many tourists consider this a kind of "entrance fee," although officially entry is free.
