Even with just a few days in Vietnam, you can experience so much. You can either focus on one region and explore it in depth, or visit a few key destinations across the country for a more varied experience.
For a short 5-day itinerary in Vietnam, many travelers choose to stay in one region, like the north, central, or south. This allows you to enjoy each place without rushing.
For example:
- In the north, you can explore Hanoi, take a Halong Bay overnight cruise, or visit the peaceful countryside in Ninh Binh.
- In the central region, you might discover Hoi An Ancient Town, the imperial city of Hue, and relax on the beaches of Da Nang.
- In the south, highlights include the busy city of Ho Chi Minh, the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels, and the floating life of the Mekong Delta.
If you have 7 or 8 days, you can mix two or even three regions for a more complete trip. For example, a classic 8-day itinerary in Vietnam might take you from Hanoi to Hoi An and end in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s also a great option for a Vietnam itinerary for families (7 days) who want to see more of the country together.
