Hanoi vs Saigon

Hi everyone,

I am visiting Vietnam in December and am looking to fly in to either Saigon or Hanoi. What city has more to offer and will the weather be better in Saigon than Hanoi?

Thanks in advance

Saigon is cool, Hanoi is quite cold
Saigon is better for entertaining

Sai gon is modern and crowed, Ha noi is ancient and antique.
Ha noi is better for visiting and discovering

Would you rather go to New York or Savannah, Georgia? London or Vienna?

If you want to visit a bustling, vital metropolis, that's Saigon; if you want to see an charming old-world ville, that's Hanoi.

Ha Noi is a gem, no doubt about that. So much to see and do. My favourite city of the ones I have visited in SE Asia.
HCMC has a lot to offer too, but it is more of a modern city.
This is a win-win situation. But of the two I would pick Ha Noi

'London where its pretty cold at the minute...'
Actually, today is a beautiful cloudless and surprisingly warm day here in the metropolis. And the golds of autumn are quite magnificent.

i have heard its quite cool in Hanoi

It's 30°C (86°F) in Hanoi at the moment. To me, that's "cool" only in the sense it's "neat-o" to be nice and warm in November.

but its a fantastic place to visit!
