This accolade highlights Hanoi’s efforts to create a more bicycle-friendly environment, especially within its historic Old Quarter.

In an initiative to reduce traffic congestion and enhance air quality, Hanoi has significantly cut down the number of cars and motorcycles in key tourist areas, paving the way for a more enjoyable and immersive cycling experience.
