Nighttime cycling routes: Hanoi’s top 5 most-loved spots

Long Bien Bridge

Long Bien Bridge serves as a historical witness of our nation. It played a significant role in our fight for independence. Designed and built by French architects Henri Daydé and Auguste Pillé, you can fully appreciate the beauty on both sides of the Red River when standing on Long Bien Bridge.

The bridge, with its length of 2.3 km, is a favorite among nighttime cyclists, especially at night when many can be seen riding from dusk onward. Cycling along Long Bien Bridge while enjoying the surrounding scenery and relaxing is simply wonderful.

Currently, Long Bien Bridge is closed to cars, making it safer for walking and nighttime cycling. Ideal times to visit Long Bien Bridge are at dawn, sunset, or at night, all offering breathtaking views. This is truly a beloved and beautiful nighttime cycling route.

West Lake

Whether early in the morning or late at night, you can always find many people exercising by nighttime cycling around West Lake. With its cool and fresh air, it’s perfect for relaxation. You can cycle around West Lake, especially along Thanh Nien and Vong Thi streets, which are popular routes among nighttime cycling enthusiasts.

If you get tired while nighttime cycling, you can rest at one of the roadside cafes or along the lakeside streets. If you’re in the mood for some good food, nearby streets like Hoang Dieu or To Ngoc Van are well-known culinary hotspots in Hanoi, perfect after a nighttime cycling session.

Hoang Dieu Street

Hoang Dieu Street has found its way into poetry and the hearts of many Hanoians. It is one of the most peaceful streets, full of historical charm. Anyone who has walked or cycled down Hoang Dieu Street will never forget the familiar old-world charm of ancient Thang Long. The street is lined with old houses and French colonial-era buildings, serving as historical witnesses to Hanoi’s struggle during the Vietnam War.

Cycling along Hoang Dieu Street under the canopy of old trees at night gives you a sense of tranquility. The green trees provide fresh and quiet air, allowing one to experience the most serene feelings in the hustle and bustle of life during nighttime cycling.

Many people love the tranquility of Hoang Dieu Street and choose to cycle there both day and night. If you’re busy with daily work, nighttime is the perfect time to fully enjoy your passion for nighttime cycling.

Phan Dinh Phung Street

Phan Dinh Phung Street is hailed as the most romantic street in Hanoi, with its shady rows of old trees. The street is always romantic, especially during the leaf-changing season. The street is about 1.5 km long and intersects with several routes like Hoang Dieu and Nguyen Tri Phuong, making it easy to explore other nearby streets during nighttime cycling.

The best time to enjoy Phan Dinh Phung Street is in April when the trees begin to shed their leaves. At night, the fresh and quiet air provides an ideal atmosphere for relaxation and personal enjoyment during nighttime cycling. Imagine cycling down Phan Dinh Phung Street as the golden leaves rustle—a scene that evokes a nostalgic and romantic feeling for old Hanoi. This street has become an inseparable part of life for many Hanoians who enjoy ridge cycling.

Nguyen Du Street

This famous street, named after the great Vietnamese poet, stretches over 1060 meters, with green trees lining both sides. It has been immortalized in poetry and holds a special place in the hearts of Hanoians. What could be better than wandering and nighttime cycling along Nguyen Du Street, feeling the cool breezes from Thien Quang Lake?

Especially during the milk flower season, when the flowers bloom and fill the air with their fragrance, nighttime cycling along Nguyen Du Street and breathing in the scent can evoke many memories. For those who are busy, nighttime cycling on Nguyen Du Street, enjoying the fragrance of milk flowers, is a particularly meaningful gift. You can also take a little time to enjoy a cup of coffee on Nguyen Du Street and relax after nighttime cycling.

In conclusion, nighttime cycling in Hanoi offers a unique and enchanting way to explore the city’s historic streets and serene lakes. Whether you’re drawn to the iconic Long Bien Bridge, the tranquil West Lake, or the romantic avenues like Hoang Dieu and Phan Dinh Phung, these routes provide the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
