I'm a solo female traveler in my 20s. I've heard amazing things about Vietnam, but I'm also a little worried about safety, especially when I'm out at night. Is it really as safe as everyone says? What are the no-go zones?
Hotels, and likely flights, are rapidly reaching capacity in anticipation of Hanoi's 80th Independence Day celebrations. This event spans a four-day weekend, running from August 29th through September 2nd. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/travel/places/hanoi-national-day-pageant-becomes-tourism-magnet-4923018.html Securing accommodation might prove challenging if reservations have not been finalized yet. Best regards, rayza
Hello there! I'm heading back to Vietnam for my fourth visit, with my most recent journey being in 2019 before the global pandemic. Although there’s nothing new for me to experience in Hoi An, I absolutely adore Cao Lau and Mi Quang. Are there any establishments in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi that prepare outstanding renditions of these signature dishes? Do these restaurants manage to source the specialized...
Greetings! We have finally chosen to skip Da Nang and Hoi An for our November vacation 🙁 I feel truly disappointed about this, but I was quite stressed about the possibility of having to modify our arrangements at the final hour. Given the flights involved and our desire to pre-arrange private transportation to specific areas, we weren't entirely comfortable with the concept. I know a few friends who still had...
Greetings everyone,We are a family of four currently planning our itinerary around Mu Cang Chai. We require a private car service to collect us there in the morning and deliver us to Lao Cai train station by 8:00 p.m. at the absolute latest, due to our scheduled overnight train departure to Hanoi.We hope to transform this necessary transfer into an enjoyable day trip. Ideally, we wish to take the picturesque...
Hey everyone, I'm a bit stuck. I have about 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam and I'm torn between doing the Ha Giang Loop and just exploring Sapa and other surrounding areas. I love nature and adventure, but I'm not a super experienced motorbike rider. Is the Ha Giang Loop too difficult for a beginner? What are your thoughts?
Hello, my partner and I are traveling to Vietnam from August 12th to the 19th, and our current visa is only valid for that period.We have a connecting international flight departing from Da Nang at 9 PM on August 19th, routing via Ho Chi Minh City, with the onward flight leaving on August 20th at 7 PM (resulting in an extended layover of over 19 hours).Given that our visa expires...
For our upcoming Vietnam trip in March, we are looking to explore a new location, preferably one that is a bit less frequented by typical tourists. We plan to spend several days on the coast prior to returning to a beloved spot in the Hoi An countryside. Initially, we considered spending a few nights on Cham Island, but we want to evaluate all possibilities before making a decision. While we...

This is my first time posting on Reddit😂 I require help with scheduling a 6-day trip to Da Nang and Hoi An planned for late March 2026. I've heard that March is a busy time for tourism, so securing accommodation promptly seems advisable. Therefore, I need to finalize a quick itinerary to proceed with my hotel reservations. We are two women in our 50s, and we are keen on getting...
Hi! We are a family of two adults and two teen girls, and we'll be based in the Old Quarter for six nights before moving on to Mai Chau and Ninh Binh. We have already decided against visiting Ha Long or Sapa. We prefer to focus on exploring the city and perhaps take one day excursion outside the city (ideally within an hour's drive). What specific suggestions do you have...

My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here.My thoughts on Nha Trang I'm just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I've loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It's full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I've been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing...+2
