How much does it cost to enter the Old Quarter of Hanoi?

Entry to the Old Quarter of Hanoi is completely free. It is not a fenced-off attraction, but an entire residential and commercial district of the city, where you can freely enter at any time of day and walk through its streets without any tickets or passes.

You only pay for specific services or visits within the district:

• Visiting individual museums or temples: For example, entry to the ancient house museum on Ma May Street or the family jeweler's house may cost a symbolic amount (usually 10,000 - 30,000 dong). Bach Ma Temple is generally free.
• Shopping and food: The main expenses await you in shops, markets (like Dong Xuan Market), and numerous cafes and restaurants. Prices for tourist souvenirs are often inflated, so don't hesitate to bargain.
• Tours: Many travel agencies, of which there are plenty here, offer walking tours of the Old Quarter. Their cost already depends on the program and guide.

Thus, you can plan a budget walk, spending money only on what truly interests you: a street food snack, a souvenir, or visiting one small museum.
