Travel Maps for Navigating Vietnam:

Explore Maps of Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam, including airports, railway stations, and routes to enhance your travel experience. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, having access to accurate maps is essential when navigating Vietnam. While traveling in northern Vietnam, having a map, whether in print or digital format, is invaluable. Many travelers rely on mobile versions of Google Maps equipped with GPS for real-time navigation. Below each area highlighted in our „Places of Interest,“ you’ll find a Google Maps map with detailed information.

However, in remote regions of northern Vietnam, mobile internet coverage may be unreliable, and certain mobile applications may not function properly. In such cases, printed maps become indispensable. It’s worth noting that many locals in Vietnam do not use maps and may not be able to interpret them. In such situations, asking for directions is advisable, but presenting a map, such as the one provided here, can also be helpful.

🚍 Hanoi – Public Bus Map:

Many public buses operate in Hanoi and there is a huge network of bus lines going to anywhere in the city. Ticket will be handed out by a collector and you have to pay him in cash. If you plan to travel by bus, make sure you carry smaller bills. However, this network is complicated, confusing, and not very comfortable when traffic is heavy. Click on the picture below for high resolution of this bus map (2018). I think it is better to use the BusMap mobile application, it is up-to-date and very easy to use, information below.
