5 Days in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Turn a brief five-day vacation to northern Vietnam into an unforgettable discovery of Hanoi's secret gems and a visit to the beautiful river lands of Ninh Bình Province. You could also see the central coast and the ancient citadel of Hue or travel farther south beyond the bright lights of Ho Chi Minh City, where an exciting excursion to the Mekong Delta awaits. And if you're eager for a hike amid the rice terraces and humble villages of rural Vietnam, consider five days to discover the Pu Luong Nature Reserve.

1 Week in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Make your travel plans wisely to get the most out of a week in Vietnam. Try a northern adventure that takes you to the colonial streets of Hanoi and the mountains of Sapa, or go on a southern tour of Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. See highlights of the north and the south on an itinerary that also includes stops at coastal cities like Hoi An and Hue, or choose an off-the-beaten-path adventure to river caves, national parks, and country villages. The below itineraries cover all these options and more.

10 Days in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

With 10 days in Vietnam, you can embark on a highlights tour featuring the energetic cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and spend a night onboard a cruise in Ha Long Bay. Or, for a more off-the-beaten-path tour, focus on northern Vietnam and hike through lush rice-terraced valleys. Vietnam is also the perfect place for foodies to hop between lively markets, while those seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation can focus on southern Vietnam's villages and the beach-studded island of Phu Quoc.

2 Weeks in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

With two weeks, you can travel the length of Vietnam, covering the must-see classic highlights from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi as well as exploring lesser-visited locales in and around the mountains of Sapa. Alternatively, check out the sights as you dine around the country on a food-themed tour, or add a coastal visit in the country's south to spend some downtime on the beach. If you prefer to mix the highlights with cultural immersion, consider mingling with locals in their daily life on the Backroads of Vietnam option.

How Many Days to Spend in Vietnam

When plotting your grand adventure in Vietnam, try to visit both the north and south, as this country packs a lot into a relatively small size. It's possible to see both regions in just a few days, but the longer you have, the more excursions you can take, like boat tours, mountain hikes, and visits to ethnic villages. And if time isn't an issue, add in trips to the central coast, northern bays, scenic river deltas, and more.

Best Time of Year to Visit Vietnam

Vietnam is a long, skinny country bookended by extremes: the northern areas bordering China are mountainous, while the Mekong Delta in the south is tropical. In between are vibrant cities, temperate highlands, and a huge range of natural attractions. While you can visit at any time of year, it's important to plan where you go around the country's climatic differences—you won't want to hit the beaches in summer, for example, or the northern mountains in winter. Read on for more tips on when to visit Vietnam.

Me, my husband, and our 4-year-old traveled to Vietnam using KimKim, and we had a fantastic experience. Lucy, our travel specialist, really listened to what we wanted and tailored everything perfectly for our family. We got to see everything we hoped to see in Vietnam, and all the arrangements ran smoothly. The hotels were comfortable, and the tours were well-organized and enjoyable. Overall, we had a great trip and would definitely recommend Lucy and KimKim!

We just got back from 10 days in Vietnam and kimkim did an amazing job in planning the whole trip - soup to nuts, they handled hotels, transfers, an internal flight from Hanoi to Danang, local guides, activities and transportation. Both before the trip and at all points during the journey, we were also in constant contact with our Vietnam specialist, Long. He reached out every day to make sure that we knew the schedule for the next day and to make sure that everything was going smoothly. Special shout-out to Vinh, our local guide in Hoi An and for a day trip to the Golden Bridge and Bana Hills - he was super friendly, informative and über-patient with our near-constant requests to pause here and there to check out local shops and interesting points. Kimkim helped us navigate our first trip to Vietnam and struck the right balance of assistance and free exploration time -- would highly recommend!

Hotel Reviews
Capella Cruise
Halong

Capella runs one and two-night cruises. Like most of the guests we came across, we did the single night cruise, and it was a highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Everything is very well organized, from the transfer to the ship, to meals and activities.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Halong Bay is crowded by ships, but it felt like the Capella found a route that wasn't overcrowded - we never felt like we were on top of the other ships around.
Staff
Everyone was excellent - friendly and helpful!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Having taken cruises on much larger ships, the size of our room, bathroom (it had an actual tub!) and balcony were amazing to me.
Le Sands Oceanfront Danang Hotel
Da Nang

Nice, family-friendly hotel in Danang with a good view of the beach on one side and a good city-scape on the other. Breakfast buffet was very good and there is a nice rooftop pool with a bar that makes good coffees and cocktails. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. There are some other hotels clustered further down the beach, where swimming seems permitted - not sure if it's permanent, but at the time we went, there were "no swimming" signs posted along the strip of beach directly in front of the hotel, so that was a bit of a minus as we had been looking forward to a swim.

La Siesta Hoi An Resort & Spa
Hoi An

Lovely and sprawling hotel in Hoi An -- more like a resort with four swimming pools, two restaurants (Vietnamese and Italian) and a sprawling grounds where you can spend some time. The rooms were nice and the facility is perfect for families, especially with three of the pools being available to children.

Authenticity & Character
The lobby and grounds are lovely.
Location
Location is a bit outside of Hoi An but there is a shuttle to (and from) the old town from the hotel, and you can easily get a Grab into the city.
Staff
Everyone was super friendly and helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Bespoke Trendy Hotel Hanoi

Bespoke Trendy may have a goofy name, but they have a great location in the heart of the old quarter in Hanoi, just a block away from a good "train street" viewing location. Rooms are nice, the restaurant is good, and all of the staff are helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Authenticity & Character
Location
Can't beat the one block from the train street - prime old quarter location!

This is a must-do. It was super-helpful to skip the long immigration lines in Hanoi, especially after the long flight from the U.S. - you are met and essentially waved directly to a person to review passports/visas, as applicable.
