Trang Tien Bridge
Best time to visit
The best time to come is just before sunset, when the bridge lights up and you can see the whole scenery transform. An evening walk between 7 and 10 PM offers the most impressive color show.
Budget tips
Walking across the bridge is completely free. If you want the best photo, it is worth renting a boat with a rower for 50,000 VND (about 50 CZK) for 20 minutes. You will ride directly under the bridge.

About
Quick facts: Every evening the bridge lights up in seven alternating colors, attracting over 10 thousand visitors daily to walk along its 402 meters. Dozens of cruise boats glide under its arches, offering views of the illuminated city from the Huong River.
Highlights: During the Vietnam War, the bridge was bombed twice and each time the local residents rebuilt it with their own hands from the original materials pulled out of the river. At night, young couples gather on the bridge to share their first kiss in the glow of colorful lights, locals call it the "bridge of lovers".
Insider tips
- Photographers should arrive at 6:30 PM to capture the blue hour and the first lighting of the bridge in one shot.
- Instead of walking on the bridge, sit in the tea house on the left bank. From there you have the whole bridge in perspective and the crowds are not pushing you.
- Avoid Saturday evenings, when the bridge is most crowded with locals and tourists.
- Take a light jacket even in summer. In the evening a pleasant cool wind blows from the river.
