Vietnam 2-Week Itinerary

Balancing relaxation and adventure in this itinerary involves planning a mix of activities that cater to both. Incorporate adventurous activities like trekking, biking, and water sports with relaxation time at beaches, spas, and scenic spots. Kampá Tour will ensure your itinerary has a good mix of high-energy days followed by more leisurely days to rest and recharge.

To deal with language barriers in Vietnam in 2 weeks, learn a few basic Vietnamese phrases, use translation apps like Google Translate when your guide isn't around, carry a phrasebook, and be patient and polite. Many young Vietnamese people and those working in tourism speak some English, so don't hesitate to ask for help.

As an approximate guideline, the cost of a 2-week trip to Vietnam would be around 1450$ per person when traveling as a pair (excluding airfare). For a 3 or 4-week journey, please budget between 1900$ and 2500$ per person. If you're in a larger group (4 or 6 people), the trip will be more cost-effective. The price always varies depending on the duration and time of your stay, as well as your preferences (activities, services). Please leave us a quote request, and our travel advisor will provide you with more detailed information and a quote.

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.

Customized travel is a service where your journey is designed according to your preferences for dates, duration of stay, services, and budget. A local advisor assists you in preparing for the trip and supports you on-site, handling transportation, visits, accommodation, and more. This ensures you benefit from an organized trip tailored to your desires and constraints down to the smallest details.

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.

Vietnam experiences a diverse climate from north to south, owing to its varied topography and the country's considerable length (2000 km from north to south). When one region is humid, cold, or rainy, the other can be pleasantly sunny in contrast. Based on our experience, the optimal time to visit Vietnam is from October to April.

Within this timeframe, the best months are October to November and March to May. During these periods, the weather remains pleasant, and, additionally, they are the least rainy months of the year in Vietnam. While July and August can be a bit hot (30-35 degrees Celsius), Halong Bay typically enjoys sunny weather. You'll also have the opportunity to witness the region adorned with endless terraced green or yellow rice fields.

Regarding the southern region, despite it being the rainy season, precipitation usually lasts for only an hour or two each day, with the rest of the day being sunny. If you already have a specific timeframe in mind for your trip (winter, summer, etc.), please inform us, and we can provide guidance on the most favorable months.

You are exempt from needing a visa for Vietnam if you are from countries like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, provided your stay does not exceed 45 days. You only need to present a valid passport and a confirmed return flight ticket upon arrival in Vietnam. Here’s a list of visa-exempt countries: the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and select European countries like France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Scandinavian nations.

For those who do not qualify for visa exemption, a visa is mandatory. You have three options to obtain a visa: an E-visa, issued online through the Vietnamese Immigration website; a visa on arrival (available only when applying through an authorized travel agency); or a visa through the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in your country. We recommend the E-visa or visa on arrival for ease and affordability.

Please contact us for further assistance with visa procedures.
