If you mean the Old Quarter of Hanoi then be prepared to have your toes run over by motorbikes. It's congested, over-touristed, noisy and stressful to walk through. In the Old Quarter, the pavements ("sidewalks" to people from Trumpland) are either non-existent or narrow. In any case, motorcyclists treat pavements as parking lots for their vehicles, forcing pedestrians onto the streets, where other motorbikes zoom past with only centimetres to spare, or they make a sudden turn and cross right in front of your feet.
