Two weeks fits Vietnam's highlights without sprinting. Start north: Hanoi's Old Quarter, egg coffee, and street food tours. Book an overnight Ha Long or Lan Ha Bay cruise with kayaks — compare operators carefully.
Fly or take the scenic train to Da Nang, then base in Hoi An for lanterns, tailors, and beach mornings. Hue suits a day trip for imperial tombs. Central Vietnam rewards slow evenings on the river.
Fly south to Ho Chi Minh City for war history museums, rooftop bars, and day trips to Cu Chi or Mekong Delta floating markets. Phu Quoc or Con Dao add beach finales if you have extra days.
Open-jaw tickets into Hanoi (HAN) and out of Saigon (SGN) save backtracking. SnagAFlight compares one-way combinations across Asian hubs — often cheaper than a simple return.
