How Many Days Are Sufficient to Visit Vietnam?
The ideal duration for a visit to Vietnam depends on the places you want to explore and the experiences you wish to have. A well-rounded trip covering the main highlights like Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta typically takes around 10 to 14 days. However, if you have more time, you can delve deeper into specific regions, such as spending additional days in the northern mountainous areas or exploring the coastline further. It's recommended to allocate at least a week to fully appreciate the country's diversity. We have this epic 17 Day Essential Vietnam & Cambodia Tour with G Adventures, which features a combination of guided excursions and plenty of free time to explore beaches, ruins, urban culture and awe-inspiring landscapes!
What Is The Best Way To Tour Vietnam?
The best way to tour Vietnam depends on your preferences and travel style - though we highly recommend a Vietnam multi-day tour! Guided tours offer convenience, local insights, and well-organised itineraries. You can choose from group tours with friends and family, or travelling with like-minded people you've never met before! To truly immerse yourself, consider a combination of guided experiences and self-guided exploration, like on this 2 Week Vietnam Tour that also includes all in-country transportation, including a domestic economy flight from Hanoi to Hoi An!
