Vietnam Travel Guide: Hanoi, Halong Bay & Ho Chi Minh City

vietnam

Vietnam stretches over 1,600 kilometres, and that length is part of the appeal — a single trip can cover misty mountains in the north, a UNESCO bay of limestone islands, and tropical city energy in the south.

Suggested Route (10–12 Days)

  • Days 1–3 — Hanoi: The Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake, and street food that’s reason enough to visit.
  • Days 4–5 — Halong Bay: An overnight cruise among thousands of limestone karsts rising from the water.
  • Days 6–8 — Hoi An: A lantern-lit ancient town, tailored clothing, and some of the country’s best food.
  • Days 9–12 — Ho Chi Minh City & Mekong Delta: Modern energy in the city, then boats through the delta’s floating markets.

Visa & Entry Notes

Most travellers will need a Vietnam e-visa, which is straightforward to apply for in advance. We manage this as part of your booking.

Best Time to Visit

Vietnam’s long shape means seasons vary by region — generally, February–April offers the most reliable weather across both the north and south.
