For tourists in Hanoi, communication can vary. While English is spoken in major tourist areas, hotels, and with tour guides, it may be less common in local markets or smaller establishments.

When exploring Hanoi, visitors should be mindful of personal belongings in crowded areas to prevent pickpocketing.
