11-DAY BEST OF NORTHERN & CENTRAL VIETNAM

The best time to visit Vietnam depends on the region you plan to explore:

• - In the North, including Hanoi, Ha Long, and Sa Pa, spring (March to April) and autumn (September to November) offer ideal weather with sunny days perfect for sightseeing. For those who love SaPa and the Fansipan mountain, the months of October, November, February, and March are the best times to experience the breathtaking "cloud hunting" scenery.
• - In Central Vietnam, including destinations like Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hue, the best time to visit is from February to August, with July and August being the sunniest months, ideal for beach vacations and exploring the region’s culinary and historical culture.
• - In the South, including Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, the weather is warm year-round, but the dry season from December to May is particularly favorable for travel

Vietnam's rainy season typically falls between mid-July and the end of August, bringing storms and flooding to the central region, and creating challenging, even dangerous, conditions for mountain climbing in the northern areas. Therefore, it is crucial for travelers to regularly check weather forecasts during this period to ensure their safety.

The best place to visit in Vietnam:

1. Hanoi ( Vietnam's Capital) : This is tops the list of the best place to visit in Vietnam. The city boasts many distinctive features, such as an iconic red brigde ( The Huc Bridge) that can not be found in any other place, makeing it a must - visit for travel enthusiasts. Even on the busy streets, you can feel Hanoi's charm and peacefulness.
2. Halong Bay: Renowned for its green waters and towering limestone karsts covered in lush vegetation, Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site.For many people, the highlight of their trip to Vietnam is an overnight ride aboard a traditional junk boat around Ha Long Bay. As you glide down the calm rivers, you'll see floating settlements like Cua Van, Vung Vieng, and Cong Dam and be treated to surreal sights. The best ways to see one of Vietnam's most stunning locations are to kayak through the stunning caverns and karsts or have a swim in the clean, quiet waters.
3. Sapa: Known for its breathtaking mountain scenery, terraced rice fields, and ethnic minority villages, Sapa is great for trekking and cultural experiences.
4. Ninh Binh: Known as "Ha Long Bay on land," dazzles with its dramatic limestone karsts, serene waterways, and impressive caves. Highlights include scenic boat rides through Tam Cốc’s caves, exploring the historical Hoa Lư Ancient Capital, and marveling at the stunning landscapes and cave systems in Trang An.
5. Danang: A vibrant coastal city known for its stunning beaches, modern skyline, and rich cultural heritage. Highlights include the iconic Dragon Bridge, the Marble Mountains, and the scenic My Khe Beach. The city offers a blend of historical sites, vibrant street food, and a gateway to nearby cultural attractions like Hoi An and My Son.
6. Hoi An: This is a charming ancient town known for its well-preserved architecture, vibrant lantern-lit streets, and rich cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy wandering through its narrow alleys, exploring historic temples, and savoring delicious local cuisine, all while experiencing a unique blend of traditional and colonial influences.
7. Mekong Delta: One of Vietnam's most picturesque areas is the Mekong Delta, sometimes referred to as the "Rice Bowl of Vietnam." Life in this land of meandering rivers, mangrove forests, floating marketplaces, and verdant rice fields is dictated by the ebb and flow of the most famous river in Southeast Asia.
8. Ho Chi Minh City: Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City serves as both the southern region's principal hub and Vietnam's economic center. The dynamic cityscape of HCMC, a free-spirited, multicultural metropolis, combines old and new Vietnam in the smallest possible area, symbolizing both the city's past and future. Ben Thanh Market, Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, and the War Museum are just a few of this city's well-known attractions.

Vietnamese notes are a mix of small paper bills (no coins are used), and larger polymer bills, in values from 10,000 VND to 500,000 VND. If you’re confused by all the zeros, mentally remove three zeros to get a simpler number. To quickly convert from VND to USD, just remove three zeros and divide by 24.Visitors to Vietnam can bring with them unlimited amounts of foreign currency, objects made of gold, silver, precious metals and gemstones or plated with silver or gold, but these must be declared in detail on their customs forms
