The shortlist

Where a Vietnam trip usually goes

Nothing here is fixed — this is the raw material. Keep what appeals, cut what doesn't, and we'll build the route around what's left.

  1. Hanoi

    Vietnam's capital — a dense, motorbike-filled old quarter, street-side coffee culture, and the base for Ha Long Bay day trips.

  2. Ha Long Bay

    Thousands of limestone karsts rising out of emerald water — usually explored on an overnight cruise, one of Vietnam's defining images.

  3. Da Nang & Ba Na Hills

    Home to the Golden Bridge — a walkway held aloft by two giant stone hands, 1,400 metres up in the Ba Na Hills above the city.

  4. Hoi An

    A lantern-lit ancient trading port, walkable and largely traffic-free, known for tailor shops and riverside evenings.
