Vibrant social scene in Hanoi’s Old Quarter (Source: Internet)Hanoi, Vietnam’s vibrant capital, is renowned for its lively social bars along Ta Hien Street in the Old Quarter, often called “Beer Street,” where travelers gather for affordable drinks, street food, and easy conversations. These social bars serve as perfect meeting points for solo travelers on Vietnam Travel or extending to Cambodia Travel adventures like Siem Reap’s Pub Street. Legend Travel Group’s group tours often include optional evenings at these spots, allowing solos to connect naturally over bia hoi (fresh beer) and shared stories. With flexible payments—deposit just 10% and pay the rest 30 days before departure—you can join with peace of mind.
