For a compact yet rewarding northern Vietnam itinerary, this 5-day journey covers three of the region’s most stunning destinations. History, nature, and adventure, all in one trip.
Start in Hanoi. The ancient Old Quarter draws you in with its craft-lined streets and centuries of stories. Visit the solemn Ho Chi Minh Complex, the elegant One Pillar Pagoda, and the timeless Temple of Literature. End the evening with a traditional water puppet show.
Next, head south to Ninh Binh. Step back in time at the 10th-century ancient capital of Hoa Lu. Then, glide through the UNESCO-listed Trang An waterways on a small rowboat, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush greenery.
Finally, set sail on Halong Bay. Explore hidden caves, kayak through emerald waters, and fall asleep under a sky full of stars on a traditional cruise boat.
Three destinations. Five days. Purely unforgettable.
