The Ideal Itinerary for an Unforgettable Trip
A five-day Vietnam itinerary requires focusing on one region to avoid spending your entire trip traveling. In the North, divide your time between Hanoi’s historic Old Quarter and a breathtaking overnight cruise through Ha Long Bay. For Central Vietnam, immerse yourself in the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An and the imperial history of Hue. If you choose the South, experience the high-energy streets of Ho Chi Minh City combined with a boat day exploring the lush, winding canals of the Mekong Delta.
