How many day to explore Vietnam is enough?
The number of days you need to explore Vietnam really depends on your travel goals, budget, and interests. However, to get a good sense of the country and its highlights, I would recommend spending at least 10-14 days in Vietnam.
Here’s a sample itinerary that you could consider:
- Day 1-3: Hanoi – explore the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake, Temple of Literature, and sample street food
- Day 4-5: Ha Long Bay – take a cruise to explore the stunning limestone islands and caves
- Day 6-7: Hue – visit the imperial city, Thien Mu Pagoda, and take a boat trip on the Perfume River
- Day 8-9: Hoi An – wander through the charming ancient town, visit the Japanese Covered Bridge, and explore local markets
- Day 10-12: Ho Chi Minh City – explore the War Remnants Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Independence Palace, and take a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels
- Day 13-14: Mekong Delta – take a boat trip to explore the floating markets and visit local villages.
Of course, if you have more time and budget, you can add more destinations or spend more time in each place. Vietnam has many beautiful and interesting places to explore, so the more time you have, the more you can see and experience.
