💰 How far does your money go?
A bowl of pho on a Hanoi street corner costs under £1.60, and bun cha barely clears £2. A glass of bia hoi, brewed fresh daily, runs as little as £0.20, so a night out costs less than a single pint back home. Down in Ho Chi Minh City, prices sit much the same: a full plate of street food for under £2, a cold beer for under £1. A whole day of eating and drinking in either city comes in well under £15.
☀️ The weather
Hanoi in October and November is mild and dry, sitting around 25°C by day and dropping to a cool 19°C at night, perfect walking weather for the Old Quarter. By December it cools further, hovering between 16°C and 21°C, so pack a light jacket for the evenings. Ho Chi Minh City stays warmer throughout, around 30–32°C by day in October and November, with the dry season kicking in properly by December, when highs settle near 31°C and humidity drops. Whichever city you land in, you are trading a British autumn for guaranteed sunshine.
