Vietnam Travel
A guide to itineraries and costs in Da Nang, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc
Explore northern bays, central beaches, southern city life and Phu Quoc island stays. Compare routes, seasons and costs for a trip that fits you.
Vietnam travel essentials: what to check before you leave
On your first visit to Vietnam, you do not need to cover the north, central region and south in one trip. With only 3 to 5 days, choosing one region and nearby sights usually makes for a more relaxed visit. With 7 to 10 days, you can consider combining two regions, but factor in domestic flights, luggage and travel days.
- Entry requirements and documents
- Check your visa eligibility against your nationality, passport and full flight itinerary. Another traveler's visa exemption may not apply to you. Your name, passport number and entry date must match the approval documents. Keep digital copies and backups.
- Time and payments
- Vietnam uses UTC+7, which is 1 hour behind Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. The main local currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND). Check each merchant's and product's terms for card acceptance, payment and cancellation conditions.
- Transport and luggage
- Plan city travel, airport transfers and intercity transfers separately. When booking a vehicle, provide the number of passengers and bags, child-seat requirements, flight details and hotel location. Private car hire usually includes a driver, but that does not mean a guide is also included.
- Travel companions and pace
- When traveling with older adults or young children, limit hotel changes, long drives and midday walks. Assess whether motorbike rides, high-altitude cable cars, tunnels and sea activities suit everyone in your group. Do not choose an itinerary on photos alone.
- Seasons and backup plans
- Northern and southern Vietnam have different climates, so there is no single best month for the whole country. Sea conditions, heavy rain, cable car notices and attraction announcements can affect activities. Prepare indoor alternatives in the same area when planning outdoor days.
- Connectivity and reservations
- Check whether your phone supports eSIM, how your data SIM is activated and whether you need voice calls. Confirm bookings early for peak seasons, long holiday weekends, Tet, cruises and popular restaurants. Supplier confirmation and booking vouchers determine the final arrangements.
Vietnam travel costs: understand how prices are calculated
When comparing prices, check the pricing unit and inclusions before looking at the total. A private tour's reference price per person, the total charge for a group, a one-way transfer and full-day car hire are not directly comparable. The product listings below link to packages on the official website. Check airfare, single-room charges, optional admission tickets and special-date charges individually.
Read the budget guide for 3, 5, 7 and 10 daysWhere to go in Vietnam: choosing among four destinations
Head north for history, mountains and bays; choose central Vietnam for old towns and beaches, Ho Chi Minh City for urban life and the Mekong Delta, or Phu Quoc for resorts and family time. Compare attractions, food, seasons and bookable services together to build a practical route.
Central Vietnam | Beaches, old towns and mountain scenery
Da Nang and Hoi An
For a first trip to central Vietnam, use Da Nang as your transport base, set aside a day for Ba Na Hills, then spend a night in Hoi An or visit for an evening walk. Beach hotels, old-town strolls and mountain cable cars each call for a different pace. Around 5 days makes it easier to leave time to rest.
Top attractions

Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills
The bridge supported by giant sculpted hands, framed by mountain views, is an iconic Ba Na Hills sight and pairs well with a walk around the park. Fog can obscure the mountains, and cable cars are weather-dependent. Clear mountain views cannot be guaranteed.

My Khe Beach
A good place for an early walk, a seaside meal or some unstructured holiday time. Check lifeguard flags and local notices before entering the water. When waves are rough, choose an ocean-view cafe or city activity instead of swimming.

Hoi An Ancient Town
Explore the old streets, assembly halls and riverside on foot, then combine dinner with lantern-lit streets in the evening. Hoi An is outside central Da Nang, so allow time for transfers. Avoid wading through floodwater during flooding or heavy rain, and adjust your route according to local notices.

Mi Quang noodles (Mì Quảng)
Rice noodles with a little broth, fresh herbs and a choice of meat toppings make a good introduction to central Vietnamese flavors. Choose chicken, shrimp or another version from the menu, adding chili and other toppings separately.

Seafood and seaside dining
Seaside restaurants often offer fish, shrimp and shellfish cooked in several ways. Before ordering, confirm the weighing unit, cooking method, preparation charge and total price. Mention any allergies or dietary restrictions in advance.
When to visit and rainy-season alternatives
For beaches and outdoor activities, start by comparing March to August. For more comfortable temperatures, consider March to May, while checking the weather for your travel year.
Around September to December, pay particular attention to rain, strong winds and tropical cyclone updates. Flooding can also affect Hoi An. Mountain views, cable cars, sea activities and outdoor shows may be affected.
Nearby alternatives include the Museum of Cham Sculpture, indoor markets, cooking experiences and cafes. Follow operating notices for Ba Na Hills and beach activities; rain does not mean every facility will remain open as usual.
Suggested trip length and route
5 days, 4 nights: arrive in Da Nang and rest, visit Ba Na Hills, explore Hoi An Ancient Town, enjoy Da Nang's beachfront and city, then head home. With 6 days, add another night in Hoi An, a craft activity or more beach time. There is no need to change cities every day.

Northern Vietnam | Historic culture, lakeside walks and bay cruises
Hanoi and Ha Long Bay
Get to know Vietnam at an easy pace through Hanoi's Old Quarter, lakes and historic sites. Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh are extensions that require intercity travel. Avoid squeezing city sightseeing and a full-day bay trip into the same day.
Top attractions

Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter
Walk around the lake, then head into the Old Quarter's lanes for a meal: an easy route for a first visit. Mornings and evenings suit a leisurely stroll. Weekend traffic restrictions and local events may change pickup and drop-off points.
Rungbachduong at vi.wikipedia · Photo credits and licenses · Public domain
Temple of Literature and Imperial Academy
Courtyards, stone steles and traditional buildings offer an introduction to Hanoi's educational heritage. Combine a visit with other city monuments for a half-day outing. Follow local dress and photography rules, and allow time to read the displays and rest.

Ha Long Bay cruise
Limestone islands, caves and views from the deck are highlights of a northern Vietnam trip. Day cruises and overnight cruises offer different paces. If sailings are canceled or routes change, follow notices from the port authority and cruise operator.

Pho noodle soup (Phở)
Beef or chicken pho showcases each eatery's approach to broth, rice noodles and herbs. It works well for breakfast or a simple meal. Confirm the meat and toppings when ordering; flavors vary from one shop to another.

Grilled pork with rice noodles (Bún chả)
Grilled pork, rice noodles, herbs and dipping sauce arrive separately, so you can balance each bite to taste. Lunch near the Old Quarter fits easily into a route taking in the lake, historic sites and cafes.
When to visit and rainy-season alternatives
For city travel, start by comparing March to April and September to November. Spring and autumn still feel different. Winter can be damp and cold, while summer is hotter, so do not pack solely on the assumption that Vietnam is tropical.
Around May to September, watch for heat, showers and storms. Ha Long Bay sailings may be canceled because of sea conditions. Winter fog can also obscure the scenery, so clear bay views cannot be promised on every departure.
City alternatives include Hoa Lo Prison Relic, the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, coffee experiences and water puppet shows. Check opening hours for the day. If bay sailings are suspended, customer service will coordinate alternatives under accommodation, transport and supplier policies. Free changes are not guaranteed in advance.
Suggested trip length and route
5 days, 4 nights: explore Hanoi, take an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise, return to Hanoi for Old Quarter walks, then head home. Add a day for Ninh Binh. For Sapa, compare a separate 6-day route to avoid repeated long drives on a short northern Vietnam trip.

Southern Vietnam | City history, street food and delta experiences
Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta
Start in Ho Chi Minh City to combine historic buildings, local food and lively nightlife. Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta each require additional travel time. Plan city half-days, countryside day trips and evening experiences separately for a more relaxed visit.
Top attractions

Saigon Central Post Office
Stop to admire the vaulted interior and facade during a city walk, combining the visit with nearby streets. The building still functions as a post office, so follow the on-site visitor flow when taking photos, shopping and entering or leaving.

Independence Palace
Exhibition rooms, meeting spaces and gardens help visitors understand the city's modern history. Allow time to see the exhibitions as well as photograph the exterior. Access to some areas may change because of events or maintenance.
trungydang · Photo credits and licenses · CC BY 3.0
Cu Chi Tunnels
Learn about history through tunnels, exhibits and a guided visit above ground. This outing outside the city needs at least a half-day of its own. The narrow, damp spaces may not suit every traveler; you can focus on the above-ground exhibits instead.
Niels Aage at English Wikipedia · Photo credits and licenses · Public domainMust-try food

Vietnamese baguette sandwich (Bánh mì)
A crisp baguette filled with meat, pickles and herbs makes an easy stop during a city walk or motorbike food tour. Fillings vary by shop. Check vegetarian options, spice levels and allergy requirements directly with the vendor.

Broken rice (Cơm tấm)
Broken rice with a grilled pork chop and side dishes is a common meal in Ho Chi Minh City. Check menu prices before adding an egg, meatloaf or other extras. It fits easily into a walk around District 1 or the area where you are staying.
When to visit and rainy-season alternatives
For drier walking weather, compare December to April. December to January is usually a little cooler, while conditions can be hotter around April. Leave time for a midday break.
Showers are more common around May to November. Localized street flooding can affect transfers and motorbike tours. Mekong Delta trips, cruises and other outdoor activities depend on supplier decisions and conditions on the day.
Consider city museums, indoor markets, cafes or a booked Vietnamese hair washing and massage session. Check whether a motorbike tour should be rescheduled in heavy rain. Do not travel through thunderstorms or flooded streets just to finish a sightseeing list.
Suggested trip length and route
4 to 5 days: explore city history and food, set aside a day for Cu Chi or the Mekong Delta, take an Ao Dai motorbike tour or have dinner on the Saigon River, then leave time to relax before departure. With 6 days, consider Can Tho and its floating markets, allowing for early starts and an overnight stay outside the city.

Island holidays | Cable car rides in the south, family theme parks and seafood night markets
Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc suits a resort stay with a few carefully chosen activities. The north, Duong Dong and the south are far apart, so plan by area around your hotel. With only 4 to 5 days, there is no need to travel between the north and south every day.
Top attractions

Hon Thom sea-crossing cable car
Ride above the sea and islands, combining the cable car with activities in the south. Ticket types, facilities and schedules may change. Follow operating announcements in strong winds, thunderstorms or during maintenance; the ride cannot be guaranteed.

Sunset Town and coastal views
Seafront architecture, walking areas and sunset views make this an appealing evening stop. Kiss Bridge, fireworks and shows are not all covered by the same ticket. Check dates, performances and weather restrictions separately.

Seafood at Duong Dong Night Market
Choose from fish, shrimp and shellfish. When asking prices, check whether they are per serving, per kilogram or per item, and confirm cooking charges and the total before ordering. For a more local noodle dish, look for bun quay (Bún quậy), or stirred rice noodles.

Night market rolled ice cream
Spread thinly on a chilled plate and rolled into curls, this dessert is easy to share while strolling through the night market. Choose fruit, coconut and other toppings from what the stall offers. Pick a clean vendor and ask about dietary needs and dairy allergies before ordering.
FrogsLegs71 · Photo credits and licenses · CC BY-SA 3.0When to visit and rainy-season alternatives
For beaches and sea activities, start by comparing the November to April dry season. Rain is still possible as seasons change, and actual sea conditions matter more than a seasonal label.
Around May to October, expect a higher chance of rain, rough seas and changes to island-hopping trips. Even without continuous rain, underwater visibility and wave conditions may be unsuitable for snorkeling.
Replace sea activities with cafes, indoor exhibits, rest or facilities confirmed open near your hotel. Leave flexibility for the day before or after, and avoid scheduling island hopping just before your flight off the island with no room for changes.
Suggested trip length and route
4 to 5 days: plan Duong Dong and the north around your hotel location, visit the southern cable car and Sunset Town, relax at the hotel or enjoy sea activities if weather permits, then head home. Check entry eligibility against your passport and full route, including connections and travel between islands. Do not assume every visit is visa-free.
Recommended tours and services
Phu Quoc itineraries are quoted on request. Share your dates, group size, accommodation and preferred activities so our team can confirm available services, inclusions and a tailored quote.

- Super-urgent e-visas: reference prices on the official website start at 1,989,000 VND, with half-day, 4-hour, 2-hour and 1-hour options listed. Passport details, application timing and service eligibility must be confirmed first. These options do not guarantee approval at any time.
- VIP airport fast track: the official website lists a reference price of 800,000 VND / person. Ask about availability at the main international airports serving Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Fast track does not provide a visa exemption or replace valid entry documents. Confirm meet-and-assist arrangements and eligible flight times in advance.
- Prepare your passport information page, a compliant photo, entry date and airport, length of stay and number of entries. Processing time starts only after all required information is complete and confirmed. Calendar days cannot simply be counted as working days.
Golf holidays in Vietnam: combine courses with time to relax
Compare 4-day and 5-day Ho Chi Minh City golf holidays by course, number of rounds and time to relax. Then confirm weekday or holiday play, room types, golf-bag luggage and transfers. Current packages are listed below; ask separately about other cities or group sizes.

Private cars and airport transfers in Vietnam: choose your city, then your service
Vehicle options and mileage conditions differ between Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Airport pickups and drop-offs are one-way services, while full-day car hire has separate time and distance limits. Confirm whether intercity routes such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An or Mui Ne can be covered by the original package.
There are currently 3 regional private car products listed. Reference prices for one-way airport transfers and full-day car hire are shown separately for each region below. When booking, provide your flight, terminal, addresses, number of adults and children, and number of bags. The advertised seat count does not mean the vehicle can also fit the same number of large suitcases.
Drivers and guides are separate services. Current car hire descriptions specify a local driver. Confirm availability and pricing in advance for language assistance, guided sightseeing, child seats or transfers at special times.

Ho Chi Minh City Ao Dai motorbike tours with local women riders

Tell us your preferred language and interests when booking, and confirm whether meals are included, pickup and drop-off coverage, and riding arrangements. For young children, travelers with mobility needs or anyone who cannot comfortably ride as a passenger, ask about suitable alternatives first.
In thunderstorms, heavy rain or street flooding, customer service and the service team should assess any changes. Helmets and on-site safety instructions take priority over photo stops.

Vietnamese hair washing and massage: relax at SOL Barbershop
After a city walk, private car outing or round of golf, set aside time for Vietnamese hair washing and massage at SOL Barbershop. This relaxation service requires a separate booking and should not be assumed to be included in your itinerary.
Check the SOL official website and confirm the branch, treatment, duration, price and opening hours directly with the store. The booking confirmation determines the treatment and inclusions.
Vietnam travel FAQ
Which city is best for a first trip to Vietnam?
Consider Hanoi for a historic capital, mountains and bays; Da Nang and Hoi An for beaches and an old town; Ho Chi Minh City for urban life, food and the Mekong Delta; or Phu Quoc for island resorts and family facilities. Choosing one region around your dates and trip length is more practical than trying to cover the north, central region and south at once.
How many days should I spend in Vietnam?
Choose one region for 3 to 5 days. With 5 to 6 days, you can add a nearby city or an overnight cruise. With 7 to 10 days, consider combining two regions, remembering that domestic flights and travel days also take time. There is no fixed answer that suits every traveler.
What is the difference between independent travel, a private tour and a custom trip?
Independent travelers arrange their own accommodation and transport. A private tour follows the confirmed group arrangements and itinerary, while a custom trip is adjusted to your needs first. Check each product for shared-tour arrangements, accommodation, service language and inclusions rather than relying on its name alone.
Do the reference prices include flights?
Please check whether flights are included in your chosen tour or service before booking. Confirm airfare, baggage, single-room charges, admission tickets, meals and optional extras against the product details and quote before paying.
Can I visit Vietnam during the rainy season?
Assess your options by region, activity and comfort with risk. Rainy season does not mean all-day rain every day, but canceled sailings, strong winds, flooding and limited mountain visibility can affect plans. Keep alternatives for sea and outdoor activities, and follow operating and safety announcements.
Is travel to Phu Quoc always visa-free?
The destination name alone is not enough to determine eligibility. Entry requirements depend on nationality, passport, the full flight route and whether you will visit other parts of Vietnam. Check official Vietnamese requirements before paying and before departure, with help from customer service if needed.
Does private car hire include a guide?
Not necessarily. Current private car products mainly cover the vehicle and driver. Guides, language assistance, admission tickets and intercity arrangements depend on the options selected. Confirm driver and guide responsibilities, service languages and costs separately.
Can I arrange a guide in a language other than Chinese?
You can request your preferred language when booking, but customer service must confirm availability by region, date and the guide's schedule. Do not assume every language and time slot is available. Have the language and service scope recorded in your confirmation.
How can I get a quote for a Vietnam trip that suits me?
Provide your dates, arrival and departure cities, group size, companions' ages, accommodation needs, budget range and must-see sights. Customer service will then confirm route feasibility, inclusions and exclusions, payment terms and cancellation conditions. Book once these details are confirmed.
How can I plan a comfortable Vietnam trip with children or older relatives?
Limit hotel changes and long drives, leave midday for lunch and rest, and choose sights to suit everyone’s energy. Confirm vehicle size, luggage and child-seat needs in advance. Check whether tunnels, motorbike rides and sea activities are suitable for each traveler.
