Vietnam for a week. Hanoi OR Ho Chimih?

Question

which one is nicer, or is it close that we should visit both.

Answer 1

no, HCM is in the south, while Hanoi is in the north....if u travel by car, then i think it would took u about 18 hrs

Answer 2

Of course Saigon (Hochiminh city) but if u prefer to be silence , antique than come to hanoi !

Answer 3

They're both so different its hard to believe they are in the same country! If you can manage it, I'd say hit both and see the contrast...

Answer 4

Ho Chi Minh city...indeed! It rocks!

Answer 5

Ho Chi Minh is soo much better.You should totally go there its really nice and theres more things for you to do.

Answer 6

i have been there back in 1968, the south ,HO Chmih, I think the Southern part was more to my liking since time i spent north was in lock up. so if i was going i would go south, Ofcourse i still have bad feelings about it all but really i belive Ho Chimih would be nicer today. i would like to revivt it one day if able.

Answer 7

I'd go to Hanoi, because that's where my hero Andrew Zimmer went to eat bizzare foods!  LOL.  I'd go there, and just eat & become a fat pig! Mmmm...grubs...
