===<FONT COLOR="#3366CC">'''Walking'''</FONT>===

The old center is easily walkable. For your [[safety]] look up to the locals' pace, especially when it comes to [http://www.itexpressions.com/games/frogger.shtml crossing the street].

What kind of motobike to get?
With a lot of congestions and stunts on the street, I don't think you would use a motorbike with clutch like the mighty Win/Minsk. A semi-automatic like Wave (S, RS), Jupiter, Dream, 50cc cub is the most popular. Gas-guzzling scooters (Lead, Nouvo, SCR, Air Blade, Click, etc) could be helpful getting you out of jams, but if you're about 1.80m or above, you'll have a bad time. Stay away from those high maintenance Piaggio/Vespa. They cost and they suck, mostly at the same time.
Prices range from 150 - 1000 USD. Rentals could be offered from some motorbike shops.
Don't forget to throw in a helmet and lock(s).
Before buying it's wise to take the bike for an independant mecanic check first.

===<FONT COLOR="#3366CC">'''Mototaxi and taxis'''</FONT>===

Safety: Don't take cyclos at night. If drunk only take taxi. If you're looking for troubles, ask a mototaxi about where to find drugs or hookers..

===<FONT COLOR="#3366CC">'''Buses'''</FONT>===

This [http://www.transerco.vn/hanoibus/ website] shows buslines and helps you calculate your itinerary. Rides between 3000 and 5000VND.
In Hanoi you don't 'get out' of a bus you 'jump out'..
