Vietnam is a knockout mix of buzzing cities, peaceful rice paddies, and dramatic coastlines. Iconic stops like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay, and Hoi An give you a feel for the country’s past and present, from French-colonial cafés to lantern-lit nights.

But the real adventure kicks in when you head deeper, to less-trodden regions like Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng, where limestone caves stretch for miles underground.

Rough Guides makes your Vietnam trip seamless. Our local experts plan every detail around what you love, be it food, hiking, beaches, or history.

Things to know before your Vietnam trip

What does a trip to Vietnam look like?

A Rough Guides Vietnam itinerary can take you from the bustling Old Quarter of Hanoi to the quiet backstreets of Hoi An, with stops at Halong Bay for a slow sail between karsts and hidden lagoons.

You might explore the war history of Ho Chi Minh City, then hop over to the wild beauty of Con Dao Islands, or head north to Ha Giang, where winding roads cut through misty mountains.

Our trips blend big-name sights with off-grid gems, like the caves of Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng or the tranquil valley of Mai Chau.
