Duration - Itinerary - Destinations

Deciding whether to focus on one region or multiple regions during your 2 weeks in Vietnam depends on your travel preferences. If you want a comprehensive overview, exploring multiple regions like the north, central, and south can offer a diverse experience of Vietnam's culture, history, and landscapes. However, if you prefer a more in-depth exploration, focusing on one region allows you to fully immerse yourself in its unique attractions and lifestyle, whether it's the cultural richness of the north, the historical depth of the central region, or the dynamic energy of the south.

Packing for 2 weeks in Vietnam requires considering the diverse climates and activities you’ll encounter. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for the humid weather, a rain jacket for unexpected showers, and comfortable walking shoes for exploring cities and natural sites. If your itinerary includes beach destinations, pack swimwear and sunscreen. Additionally, having a hat, sunglasses, and insect repellent is beneficial. Depending on the season and regions you visit, layers may be necessary for cooler temperatures in the north or higher altitudes. With these essentials, you'll be well-prepared for an enjoyable 2-week adventure in Vietnam.

Spending 2 weeks in Vietnam is an ideal amount of time to experience the country's diverse attractions and culture. During this period, you can explore the bustling streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, marvel at the natural beauty of Halong Bay, and relax on the stunning beaches of Da Nang. Additionally, you can choose to focus your 2-week itinerary on either the northern, central, or southern regions of Vietnam to fully immerse yourself in the unique experiences each area offers. Whether it's the mountainous landscapes and ethnic cultures of the north, the historical sites of the central region, or the vibrant Mekong Delta in the south, two weeks provide ample opportunity to appreciate the essence of Vietnam.

Yes, you can start the journey in Cambodia (in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap) and conclude it in Vietnam (in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City). Our travel advisor will tailor the tour itinerary to your preferences.

From Vietnam, you can go to Cambodia either by air (a one-hour direct flight from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh) or by water (traveling up the Mekong River by boat from the southernmost part of Vietnam to Phnom Penh). It is also possible to reach Cambodia by land, but the journey is quite long and tiring.

A panoramic visit to both countries will take a minimum of 15 days. After visiting the major sites in Vietnam, you can reach Cambodia either by taking a short direct flight from Ho Chi Minh or by taking a boat from Chau Doc (a border town with Cambodia) to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.

With a few more days or an additional week, you can further explore Vietnam by discovering its still-authentic northern mountains or relaxing on one of its beautiful beaches (Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc...) or on a beach in Cambodia (in Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).

Yes, you can go hiking in Northern Vietnam. A large part of the Northern region is covered by lush mountains, making it an ideal area for hiking amidst nature and through villages of ethnic minorities. From west to east, it hosts several trekking sites such as the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, the Sapa and Bac Ha region with its endless terraced rice fields, Ha Giang & Hoang Su Phi with some of the country's most impressive landscapes. You can go on hikes of varying difficulty levels, from easy to moderate, for short to long durations, following off-the-beaten-path routes, depending on your preferences.

Vietnam is divided into three major regions: the North, the Central, and the South. Each region has its distinctive features, and the choice of the region to visit will depend on your interests.

Among the three regions, the North has more interesting things to discover. It entices travelers with its rich natural beauty (stunning bays and rivers, impressive mountains and hills, winding mountain paths, lush valleys with beautiful terraced rice fields) and cultural heritage (numerous historical monuments, ancient temples and pagodas, craft villages, a large community of ethnic minorities with authentic villages and colorful weekly markets). Without time constraints, most of our clients spend a significant portion of their trip exploring this region.

Vietnam captivates tourists with its incredible diversity of landscapes and rich cultural tapestry. If you have the time during your visit, here are some must-see destinations:

• In the North: Begin your journey with a visit to the ancient capital of Hanoi, steeped in millennia of history. Explore the Bac Ha and Sapa regions, nestled in the northern mountains, where you can encounter vibrant ethnic communities. Don’t miss the breathtaking landscapes of Halong Bay, both on land and on water, with its iconic scenery that graces countless postcards.
• In Central Vietnam: Immerse yourself in the historical richness of Hue, the country's former imperial capital. A short distance away lies Hoi An, renowned as Vietnam's most charming town, where lantern-lit streets beckon with timeless allure.
• In the South: Venture into the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, a dynamic metropolis pulsating with energy and history. Further south, explore the enchanting Mekong Delta, a region where nature, traditional craftsmanship, and vibrant floating markets harmoniously coexist. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit a floating market here, offering a distinct contrast to those nestled in the northern mountains.

You can visit the country in either direction. The direction of the trip will primarily depend on your booked international flights, and we will adjust the itinerary to your preference. However, if you want to have a beach stay or an extension to Cambodia at the end of the trip, it would be better to choose the North-South direction, which is more convenient (the country's most beautiful beaches are located in the South).

Two weeks is the ideal duration to explore all the must-see attractions of Vietnam without rushing. Such a duration will allow you to appreciate some of the most beautiful and iconic landscapes of the country, such as the legendary Halong Bay, the magnificent terraced rice fields inhabited by various ethnic minorities, or the lush Mekong Delta.

For those who like to delve deeper into a region such as the authentic Northern mountains, embark on a beach extension, or visit Cambodia, plan an additional 5 to 7 days.
