Day 1–2: Arrive in Hanoi—The Soul of Vietnam
Your Vietnam adventure begins in Hanoi. This is a city where the past and present harmoniously intertwine. Upon arrival, you’re welcomed by colonial boulevards, tree-lined lakes, and a vibrant street-food scene.
Spend your first evening exploring Hoan Kiem Lake. Here locals practice tai chi at dawn and lovers stroll at dusk. Travel through the Old Quarter, either walking or on a battery shuttle. Here narrow lanes are filled with fragrant pho stalls, French-era buildings, and shops selling silks, lacquerware, and art.
Visit landmarks such as the Temple of Literature, One Pillar Pagoda, and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. This will help you understand Vietnam’s spiritual and political roots. By evening, enjoy a traditional Water Puppet Show, a centuries-old art form unique to the north.
Insider Tip: Sip an egg coffee at Café Giang—an unforgettable Hanoi specialty that perfectly blends bitterness and creaminess.
Day 3: Cruise the Dreamy Waters of Halong Bay
A few hours’ drive from Hanoi brings you to Halong Bay, one of Asia’s most iconic natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Board a luxury cruise that glides between nearly 2,000 limestone karsts rising dramatically from emerald waters.
Kayak through hidden lagoons, visit mysterious caves like Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, or simply relax on the deck as the sun paints the cliffs in golden hues. Dinner is served under the stars, accompanied by the gentle lapping of waves—a memory to treasure for a lifetime.
Stay overnight on the cruise, waking up to misty mornings and the distant echo of fishermen’s boats.
Day 4–5: Hoi An—Lanterns, Heritage, and Timeless Charm
Fly from Hanoi to Da Nang, and take a short drive to the enchanting town of Hoi An, Vietnam’s cultural jewel. This riverside town, once a thriving trading port, now glows every evening under thousands of colorful lanterns.
Wander through Ancient Town, where mustard-yellow houses, wooden bridges, and Japanese architecture tell tales of global connections from centuries ago.
Explore tailor shops (Hoi An is famous for custom-made clothes), and enjoy a boat ride on the Thu Bon River during sunset. Visit the My Son Sanctuary, a cluster of ancient Hindu temples surrounded by lush jungle, to glimpse Vietnam’s Cham heritage.
Don’t miss the local cuisines. Cao Lau noodles and White Rose dumplings are must-tries. In the evening, release paper lanterns into the river for good luck—a beautiful symbol of hope and peace.
Day 6–7: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)—The Energy of the South
Your journey continues south to Ho Chi Minh City, the dynamic heart of modern Vietnam. Once known as Saigon, this metropolis blends colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and a buzzing café culture.
Walk through the historic Dong Khoi Street, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office, and take a guided visit to the War Remnants Museum for a sobering yet essential understanding of Vietnam’s past.
Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive underground network used during the Vietnam War—a fascinating window into the resilience of the Vietnamese people.
As night falls, the city transforms. Enjoy rooftop cocktails overlooking the glittering skyline, or dine at one of Saigon’s fusion restaurants that mix French, Vietnamese, and international influences.
Day 8–9: Phu Quoc—Island Bliss and Tropical Serenity
After the energy of Saigon, it’s time to unwind. Fly to Phu Quoc, a tropical paradise known for its white-sand beaches, emerald waters, and relaxed island life.
Spend your days lounging on Long Beach, snorkeling in An Thoi Archipelago, or exploring the island’s lush interior filled with waterfalls and pepper plantations.
Visit the Phu Quoc National Park, home to rare flora and fauna, or take a sunset cruise to see the horizon melt into fiery shades of orange and pink. For those seeking local charm, explore the Dinh Cau Night Market, sampling fresh seafood grilled to perfection.
Your stay in Phu Quoc offers the perfect balance of luxury, nature, and tranquility—an unforgettable finale to your Vietnam adventure.
Day 10: Departure—Farewell Vietnam
On your final morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the sea before transferring to the airport for your onward journey.
As you look back on the ten days—the heritage of Hanoi, the majesty of Halong Bay, the romance of Hoi An, the energy of Saigon, and the serenity of Phu Quoc—you’ll realize Vietnam is more than just a destination. It’s an experience that touches your heart and calls you back again.
