This is my digital nomad guide to living in Hanoi. Vietnam’s capital city is a fantastic location for remote workers to consider calling their home base. It offers the perfect mix of dedicated coworking spaces, culture, and social fun; working remotely in Hanoi has many benefits and I’m happy to share them with you here.
I recently spent a month as a Hanoi digital nomad and loved my time there. There’s a pulsating beat to this capital city that makes it an enthralling and motivating place to work from. There are plenty of patches of tranquility too, and in my digital nomad guide to Hanoi, I’ll outline it all.
About Hanoi
Hanoi is Vietnam’s capital and second most populous city behind Ho Chi Minh City. Situated in the north of the country it has a population of just under 8.5 million people.
