Hanoi Train Street Update 2026

Latest status on Hanoi Train Street in 2026: still fully open! View current timetables, cafe recs and entrances.

Rumors about Hanoi Train Street being closed have been going viral online and our messages have been getting flooded asking if it's true 😭 So we went back yesterday to show it's still fully open. You can ignore these fake viral videos lying for views and still safely visit train street.

There have been talks about restricting certain sections for train efficiency, but nothing has been confirmed or implemented yet. Trains still roll through throughout the full iconic street, locals still serve coffee on the tracks, and the magic is very much alive. We keep our guide updated monthly with the latest timetables, best viewing cafes, North vs South entrance comparison, and arrival tips so you can experience it safely and comfortably.
