Do buses in Hanoi run at night?

No, city buses in Hanoi do not operate at night. The main operating hours for almost all routes are from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The specific schedule may vary slightly depending on the route, but after 9-10 PM, public bus transport in the city practically stops.

What to do if you need to get around Hanoi late in the evening or at night?

• Taxi (Grab, Be, traditional taxis): This is the most popular and relatively inexpensive option. Taxi apps operate 24/7.
• Motorbike taxi (GrabBike, Gojek): A fast and budget-friendly way for short trips if you are not afraid of traffic.
• Cyclo (rickshaw): More of a tourist attraction for short rides in the Old Quarter than a serious mode of transport at night.

If your flight arrives at Noi Bai Airport late at night, buses No. 86, 17, or 7 will no longer be running. In this case, you will have to take a taxi (cost from 300,000 dong to the center) or book a night transfer in advance.
