Han River Bridge (Cau Song Han) and Han River waterfront
Best time to visit
Visit around sunset and stay after dark for the bridge lights and riverside atmosphere, cooler temperatures and stronger colors for photos. Weeknights are calmer while weekends bring more street food stalls and local crowds.

No entry fee for the bridge or waterfront, walking and most viewpoints are free. Save money by bringing bottled water and snacks, use a rental bike or a Grab motorbike for short transfers to nearby attractions.

About
Raske fakta: Neon lights splash across water when the bridge pivots, turning a routine channel-opening into a cinematic moment for photographers and night strollers. Along the waterfront, a lively promenade of cafes, public art and weekend markets invites sampling street food while live music and lanterns coax locals and visitors onto the riverbanks.
Høydepunkter: At night the central span rotates 90 degrees to let ships through, a mechanical ballet that takes about three minutes while more than 1,000 LEDs wash the steel in shifting blues and golds so you can hear gears click and sea spray on your face. Along the riverside promenade, vendors grill sizzling seafood skewers and coconut ice cream, and couples clip tiny engraved padlocks to the railing as paper lanterns bob on the water and the air fills with lemongrass and smoked fish aromas.
Insider tips
- Wear breathable clothes and comfortable shoes for uneven pavements and riverside steps.
- Best photo spots are the riverbank near Bach Dang street, the opposite bank for the bridge span, and rooftop cafes facing the water.
- Avoid major holiday weekends to escape the biggest crowds, arrive 20–30 minutes before sunset for unobstructed views.
- Carry a small mosquito repellent for dusk visits and keep valuables secure when stalls and crowds gather.
