When talking about the best places to take photos in Hanoi, you can't leave out the Train Street. The peculiar scene of a massive train perilously passing through a narrow residential alley is, in itself, a perfect backdrop for pictures. As photos taken here have spread widely through social media, it has now become a must-visit landmark for any trip to Hanoi.
Hanoi Train Street is a place where a real train operates, and it is lined with pretty cafes on both sides of the tracks. In truth, more people visit these cafes to take pictures on the tracks and to witness the scene of a real train passing by. There are outdoor tables right next to the tracks, and a few minutes before the train arrives, you can see the cafe owners skillfully moving the tables inside while travelers come out with their cameras to capture the moment. If you are looking for a special place in Hanoi, be sure to visit the Train Street.
Stop just looking.
