Rate my vietnam itinerary
Our take
Exciting adventure ahead! This August, you're diving into the vibrant heart of Vietnam, exploring the central and southern regions over the course of a week. Your itinerary includes two nights in Hue, one night in the enchanting Hoi An, two nights in the lively Da Nang, and four nights in the bustling Ho Chi Minh City.
This august im going to Vietnam and I’ll have about a week to explore the central and southern parts. I was thinking of spending 2 nights in Hue, 1 night in Hoi An, 2 nights in Da Nang, and 4 nights in Ho Chi Minh. However, I have a few doubts.
First, I dont know if 2 days in Hue are enough to see the main things. Second, I’m not sure whether just one night in Hoi An is worth it, considering everyone says it becomes much more beautiful in the evening.
I’m also unsure about Da Nang. I’ll obviously pass through it on the way to Hoi An, but I’ve heard it’s mainly a coastal city, so i dont know if its worth visiting, or is it mostly just for relaxing at the beach?
Lastly, I’m wondering whether 4 days in Ho Chi Minh City are enough.
I’ll already be visiting Hanoi and the northern part of Vietnam in the previous weeks, as I’ll be busy with some volunteer activities there.
Thanks a lot for any advice!

- 2 week Vietnam Itinerary critique/ adviceI’m planning a solo travel Vietnam trip and I’ve tried to build an itinerary that focuses on nature + culture + history + meaningful experiences (not just tourist checklist stuff). Current plan: - Hanoi (2 days, including Hoa Lo Prison) - Ha Giang Loop (3–4 days) - Ninh Binh (2 days) - Fly to Central Vietnam → Hue (2 days) + Hoi An (3 days) - Ho Chi Minh City (2–3 days for war history — War Remnants Museum + Cu Chi Tunnels) A few honest questions: Bay question (very confused): Is it actually worth adding Ha Long Bay / Lan Ha Bay if I’m already doing Ha Giang? I’m not into swimming and I’m worried it might feel slow / touristy. Should I skip completely, do 1 night (Lan Ha?), or is it a must regardless? Sapa vs Ha Giang: I’m currently planning Ha Giang, is there ANY reason to also include Sapa? Heard it has become touristy now. Pacing: Does this plan feel too rushed or actually well-balanced? War history: Are the War Remnants Museum + Cu Chi enough, or is there anything else truly worth adding for history? Anything I’m missing that is genuinely special (not just popular)? I have the possibility to extend the trip for few days. Would really appreciate advices. I am so excited for this trip 🥹🥹 submitted by /u/Key-Ad2972 [link] [comments]

- 3 Week Itinerary in December and January We’re planning to go to Vietnam for just under three weeks in December and January. I’ve already drawn up a rough itinerary. We’re both 36 and want to take it easy. So I’ve tried to plan as few stops as possible. I think 3 to 4 nights per stop will suit us well. We’ve just come back from Taiwan, where we often only stayed 2 nights per stop, which took up a bit too much of our travel time. We enjoy exploring cities, eating in restaurants (vegan), visiting museums, doing a bit of hiking, and taking in the natural scenery. I’ve left out the central coast due to the high likelihood of rain. We’ll definitely fly there another time. Itinerary: Hanoi – 4 nights (2 full days for the city, 1 day trip to Ha Long Bay) Ninh Binh – 3 nights Da Lat – 4 nights Ho Chi Minh City – 4 nights (2 full days for the city, 1 day trips to the Mekong Delta) Phu Quoc – 4 nights (2 full days to relax on the beach, 1 full day to explore the island) Does this look alright? Or should I add anything or leave something out altogether? Thanks! submitted by /u/Phorzaken [link] [comments]
- Vietnam itineraryHi there, first time visitor to Vietnam from Australia with my girlfriend, we are both 31. We have just over 2 weeks there so want to get the right balance of seeing Vietnam but also not constantly moving around trying to do too much. This is a rough itinerary we have put together, we'd be keen for any feedback on it and advice. We'd love to do the Loop as a priority for our trip. We like exploring the outdoors but also learning about history/culture/nightlife. This trip would be end of May and into June. We understand it is rainy in alot of these areas but are okay with it We think breaking down our trip to 3 segments, exploring the north including the ha giang loop - the centre for beach and relaxation and then finish back at HCM. Any help is much appreciated !
