Autumn brings Hanoi a touch of coolness. Between summer’s scorching days and winter’s chill, people look forward to cool autumn, the most romantic time of the year.

Leaves turn red during autumn. Streets filled with yellow leaves mark the end of summer. Wandering through the streets of Phan Đình Phùng, Trần Phú, Ngô Quyền, or Hoàng Diệu is a lovely way to experience Hanoi’s autumn.
