Hi everyone! My partner and I are planning a Vietnam trip from May 20 to May 31 and would love some advice on our itinerary.We arrive in Ho Chi Minh City on the morning of May 20 and depart from Hanoi on the evening of May 31.We want to try to make the best out of these days. We’re up to take a domestic flight and a sleeper bus/train as well!Open to any suggestions!

Don’t try to fit too many stops — 3 main areas is ideal. Add Ninh Binh or Ha Long from Hanoi if you can. Vie Travel AI can optimize your route and timing so it’s not rushed.
It’s very short trip, travel takes forever, particularly train and buses are best left unless on a cheap budget. For 8-9 days l would pick one area, say Da Nang/Hue/Hoi An and just enjoy that. Fly from Sai Gon to Da Nang then fly Da Nang to Ha Noi for your return.
I recommend a place you should visit for the trip – it is Tay Ninh province (only 80 kms far from Hochiminh city). Here, you can visit Black Virgin Mountain (known as the roof of Southern Vietnam) by cable car, go trekking, enjoy the stream, try local specialties, many nice homestay to spend your time… Contact me for more details!!
Don’t do sleeper buses! Takes ages and not very comfortable
