2 Week North Vietnam Itinerary – Hoi An to Hanoi

Get ready to embark on an unforgettable 2 week adventure through Central and Northern Vietnam, one of the most exciting destinations in South East Asia! This guide will help you plan the perfect Vietnam itinerary, making sure you experience both the iconic landmarks and the hidden gems that make a trip to Vietnam so special.

From the buzzing chaos of Hanoi’s Old Quarter to the jaw-dropping natural beauty of Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Island, and the colorful lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, this 2 week North Vietnam itinerary is packed with epic moments, cultural highlights, and plenty of mouthwatering local food along the way.

This itinerary focuses on Northern Vietnam, from Hoi An to Hanoi. Exploring the whole country including South Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang or Phu Quoc Island, would take far more than just two weeks in Vietnam so I would suggest either breaking it up into 2 trips OR just one much longer adventure.

For now, let’s dive into the must-see sights, cultural experiences, and off-the-beaten-path gems that will make this 2 week North Vietnam itinerary truly unforgettable!

Overview: Hoi An to Hanoi North Vietnam Itinerary (2 weeks)

Starting or finishing your trip in Ho Chi Minh City? This 3-day Ho Chi Minh itinerary is a great guide for first timers, covering everything you need to know to plan the perfect few days.

Days 1-4 Vietnam Itinerary – Hoi An and Danang

For the first stop in this Vietnam Itinerary, you will spend 4 nights and 3 full days exploring the cultural charm and coastal beauty of Hoi An and Danang. They’re the perfect starting point for your 2 Week Vietnam Itinerary!

Choose from the activities below to create your own itinerary or follow along my day by day itinerary here: Hoi An Itinerary.

Hoi An

Just 30km from Da Nang, Hoi An Ancient Town is one of Vietnam’s most beloved destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wandering its lantern-lit streets feels like stepping back in time, with preserved architecture, riverside cafés, and bustling markets.

Hoi An is also famous for its tailor shops, where you can have custom outfits made in just a couple of days, for a budget price, a unique highlight of any Vietnam vacation.

Da Nang

If you’re looking for a mix of city buzz and seaside vibes, Da Nang offers exactly that. Known for its modern resorts, long stretches of soft sand like My Khe Beach, and vibrant city center, it’s a fun contrast to Hoi An’s historic atmosphere. For those flying in, Da Nang Airport is a convenient gateway, making it an easy starting point for your journey.

Where we based ourselves

Between the two, we chose to base ourselves in Hoi An. While Da Nang has its modern appeal, Hoi An’s ancient charm, cultural depth, and more relaxed pace offered exactly the experience we were craving. Immersing ourselves in this historic town felt like the perfect way to begin our North Vietnam itinerary.

Where we stayed in Hoi An

We stayed at the Citadines Pearl and it was the perfect base to explore both Hoi An and Danang!

Citadines Pearl Hoi An  features include:

• Located on award winning beach: An Bang Beach
• One of the largest swimming pool in Hoi An 1600sqm

Things to do in Hoi An and top tourist attractions

Old Quarter
Its historic buildings, lantern-lit streets, and charming riverside atmosphere offer a beautiful glimpse into the town’s rich cultural heritage.

Basket Boats
This was such a fun (and cheap!) experience. You’ll drift through palm-fringed waterways before volunteering for a high-energy spin, sometimes with a side of karaoke right on the water.
👉 You can also book a Vietnamese Cooking Class & Coconut Forest Basket Boat as a package.

Marble Mountain
One of the highlights of our trip! The vast cave systems are incredible to explore, and you’ll also find striking pagodas, hidden temples, and panoramic views of the coast from the top.

👉 Combine a visit to Marble Mountain in a day tour also visiting the My Son Sanctuary Day Tour

Night Markets: Discover Hoi An’s vibrant nighttime markets, bustling with local vendors selling handicrafts, souvenirs, and delectable street food under the glow of colorful lanterns.

Night Lantern Ritual: Witness the magical night lantern ritual along the Thu Bon River, where floating lanterns light up the water during a serene and spiritual ceremony.

Get Clothes Tailored: We used Hay Hay Tailors, we found the quality and prices incredible. 🔥PRO Tip: We brought our favorite clothing pieces from home to replicate in famous Vietnam silk.

Things to do in Danang

Ba Na Hills and Golden Bridge Day Tour (this tour can be arranged from Danang or Hoi An) To begin this trip you will take in panoramic views from the cable car ride up, one of the longest in the world. Afterward, spend time exploring the rest of the Themepark, including the games and fun experiences at the action-packed theme park Fantasy Park.

My Khe Beach: Khe Beach is renowned for its beautiful white sand beaches, 5 star hotels and foreshore stretch with dining / bar options lining the beach front.

Days -6 Vietnam Itinerary – Hue

Next up on this Vietnam itinerary is the ancient city of Hue, where history and culture collide along the banks of the Perfume River. Once the imperial capital of Vietnam, Hue is home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Imperial City, an enormous complex of palaces, temples, and royal tombs. Beyond the citadel, you can explore majestic pagodas like Thien Mu Pagoda, take a scenic boat ride on the river, or visit an abandoned dragon waterpark.

Getting to Hue from Hoi An / Danang

Best way to get to Hue is to catch a train to Hue from Danang. Additionally, it is also one of the most scenic rides in Vietnam along the coastline.

Where we stayed in Hue

Pisces Hotel Hue is PHENOMENAL and SOOOOO Cheap.

It is one block from the main ‘Walking and Beer Street’ and the rooms are DIVINE!

Things to do and top tourist attractions in Hue

HIGHLY RECOMMEDED: Imperial City Citadel: Tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh – My jaw actually dropped here. Stepping through the gates of the Imperial City felt like walking back in time. This UNESCO-listed fortress is packed with ornate gates, palaces, and temples that once housed Vietnam’s emperors.

Other Tourist Sites and Tours in Hue:

Abandoned Dragon Waterpark – Creepy? Yes. Cool? Absolutely. The eerie Ho Thuy Tien Waterpark is one of the most Instagram-famous spots in Hue, and wandering inside the giant dragon is an adventure in itself. (You can even find the location on Google Maps here Ho Thuy Tien waterpark!)

Thien Mu Pagoda: Visit the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda, a seven-tiered pagoda overlooking the Perfume River and one of Hue’s most important spiritual sites.

Alba Thanh Tan Hot Spring: Unwind at Alba Thanh Tan Hot Spring, where you can soak in mineral-rich waters or try ziplining through lush forest.

Thuy Xuan Incense Village: Wander through Thuy Xuan Incense Village, where colorful incense sticks are crafted by hand in vibrant displays.

Tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh: Marvel at the elaborate design of the Tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh, a stunning blend of Vietnamese and European architecture.

Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street & Beer Street, located in the city centre, this is the perfect place, day or night, to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a night out or a bevie.

✈️ Best Way to Travel from Hue to Hanoi ✈️

I’d highly recommend flying, it’s by far the fastest and easiest way. Flights in Vietnam are cheap, and with so much to see across the country, saving time on travel means more time exploring.

The best way to get from Hue to Hanoi (North Vietnam) really depends on your travel style, budget, and how much time you want to spend on the journey. Here are the main options:

🚀 Option 1: Flight (Fastest & Most Convenient)

You can fly directly from Phu Bai International Airport in Hue to Hanoi in around 1.5 hours.

🚂 Option 2: Train (Scenic & Slower)

From Hue Railway Station, the overnight train is also around 13–14 hours. Sleeper berths make it comfortable, and you’ll wake up ready to start your North Vietnam itinerary in Hanoi.

🚌 Option 3: Bus (Cheapest)

It’s usually takes 12–14 hours by sleeper bus. Fine for anyone on a strict budget but not ideal if you want to maximize sightseeing.

👉 My Pick: Whether you’re coming from Hue or Hoi An, I recommend flying. It’s affordable, saves a full day of travel, and gets you straight into the action in Hanoi.

Days 6 – 14 North Vietnam Itinerary – Hanoi, Ha long Bay & Ninh Binh

Where we stayed in Hanoi

Rex Hotel Hanoi is one of the best affordable Hanoi hotels right in the heart of the Old Quarter. This Hanoi hotel is budget-friendly but still offers clean, modern rooms, a rooftop bar, and even a swimming pool. The location is unbeatable, you’ll be just a short stroll from Hoan Kiem Lake, the Hanoi Night Market, beer street, and countless food stalls, making it a great base for any Vietnam itinerary.

🌟 Other Top Things to Do in Hanoi

Old Quarter (Hoan Kiem District)
Wander through the maze of narrow streets in the Old Quarter, great for shopping, grabbing local snacks, and soak up authentic Hanoi vibes.

Hoan Kiem Lake & Ngoc Son Temple
Take a peaceful walk, especially early in the morning when locals are doing tai chi. Cross the charming red bridge to Ngoc Son Temple for a tranquil escape in the heart of the city.

Train Street
Experience the thrill of Hanoi’s Train Street, where cafes are built so close to the tracks, you’ll feel the rumble of passing trains while sipping tea or coffee. Best to go with a guide or make sure you know the schedule. You read my full guide here

Weekend Evening Market
Every Friday and Saturday night, the streets transform into carnival-like night markets. Stalls pop up selling handicrafts, clothes, souvenirs, and loads of Vietnamese food. Great energy, food and people-watching. Bargains galore!

Beer Street (Ta Hien Street)
Expect lively bars, beers flowing, and lots of laughter, a perfect spot to soak up Hanoi’s nightlife. Be warned though, it is VERY EXPENSIVE for Vietnam

Vietnamese Food Adventure
Dive into Hanoi’s food scene by wandering through alleyways or local markets. Try iconic eats like bun cha, banh mi, and the famous egg coffee. It’s not just about the food, it’s the ambience, the vendors, the colours, the smells.

Incense Village – Quang Phu Cau
About 1-1.5 hours outside the city, Quang Phu Cau is one of Hanoi’s oldest incense farms. Tour behind the scenes to see how incense sticks are made, meet families who’ve been doing it for generations, and learn about this colourful craft.

Soy Sauce Making – Ban Yen Nhan
For something offbeat, visit Ban Yen Nhan village in Hung Yen province. Here you can watch centuries-old methods of making soy sauce and explore traditional fishing and rural crafts. It’s both cultural and photogenic.

Days 8-10 North Vietnam Itinerary – Ninh Binh

Next stop in this 2 weeks in Central and Northern Vietnam Itinerary is Ninh Binh

Ninh Binh, known as the Ha long Bay of the land, is a natural paradise. Vast waterways, caves and UNESCO World Heritage site of Tran An. It is definitely worth visiting and was one of the absolute highlights of my trip!

How to get to Ninh Binh

Ninh Binh is located 2-2.5 hours away from Hanoi. The best way to travel to Ninh Binh is by luxury transfer. We booked this transfer: CLICK HERE

Where to stay in Ninh Binh

We stayed here, at the Hang Lan Bungalows. They are located in a very central part of Ninh Binh, a short ride or walk to many local highlights. The overwater rustic bungalows are set on the river and have a beautiful outlook over the Tam Coc Mountains and rice fields.

Things to Do in Ninh Binh

MUST DO: Mua Cave offers visitors a breathtaking panorama of the Tam Coc region from its summit, accessible via a steep but rewarding climb of about 500 steps. Within the grounds of the Mua Cave complex you will also find the Lotus Lake & Boardwalk (in bloom May-June).

MUST DO: Next up, and honestly just as incredible, is the Trang An Boat Tour. If you only have time for one boat trip in Vietnam, make it this one. The ride takes you through dramatic limestone cliffs, hidden caves, and peaceful waterways. Each boat is rowed by a local, and you’ll drift past temples, lush greenery, and jaw-dropping karst formations. It’s a real highlight of any Vietnam trip.

Boat Trip in Tam Coc and Bich Dong Pagoda
Often called “Halong Bay on land,” the Tam Coc boat ride takes you past golden rice fields, dramatic limestone cliffs, and through dark caves, all while locals row with their feet!

Hire a Bike and Ride Through the Rice Fields
There’s no better way to soak up Ninh Binh’s charm than pedaling through quiet villages and endless rice paddies. It’s flat, easy riding, and the scenery will take your breath away.

Pho Co Hao Lu is the perfect spot to visit at night. Nestled right on the river, it features a beautifully lit pagoda, lanterns, and boats and lanterns similar to Hoi An, but much quieter! It’s an ideal place to enjoy dinner while taking in the serene views of the river and pagodas.

Days 10-13 North Vietnam Itinerary – Ha Long Bay Cruise

Halong Bay is a must for any Vietnam itinerary. This UNESCO World Heritage site in northeastern Vietnam is famous for its thousands of limestone islands and islets rising dramatically from emerald waters. No trip to Vietnam is complete without a Halong Bay cruise, it’s a scene straight out of a postcard.

Who we cruised with in Halong Bay

We were lucky enough to go on two cruises out of Halong Bay and I have included the information of both below.

Capella Cruises Ha Long Bay Cruise

Our first Ha Long Bay cruise was with the Luxurious Capella_Cruises

Capella Cruises cruises through Lan Ha Bay and is a 5 star boat and experience.

The highlights for us were the oasis infinity pool and the 9m inflatable slide.

All suites had generous sized balcony’s, spa baths and the food was out of this world!

Included Activities: Swimming and Kayaking off the boat, 9m water slide, Bamboo boat tour of the caves, cooking lessons, Happy Hour, Cigar / Poker tournaments, Tai Chi and lastly a Karaoke Room, exploring the Lan Ha Bay region including frog lagoon and dark cave and bright cave.

Our second cruise was with Indochina Junk Tour. Indo China Junk has 2 night / 3 day cruise through Bai Tu Long bay (departing from Halong Bay). Bai Tu Long Bay is lesser known, quieter and equally as beautiful neighbor to Halong Bay!

Included Activities: A visit to the Vung Vieng fishing village and the Da Xep Geology Park. A private island BBQ lunch and a trip to exploring Thien Canh Son cave.

We also enjoyed kayaking, cooking demonstrations, morning Tai Chi on the deck and night squid fishing.

Days 13-14 Vietnam Itinerary – Hanoi

Enjoy some last-minute shopping and your last dose of local Vietnamese cuisine before you Flying Home and wrapping up this Hoi An to Hanoi Vietnam Itinerary over 2 weeks

🌤️ The Best Time to Visit Vietnam (Central and Northern)🌤️

The best time to visit Central and Northern Vietnam is typically from March to May and September to November. During these months, the weather is more stable, with warm, dry days in Central Vietnam and cooler, clearer conditions in the north. Summer can bring high heat and heavy rains, especially from June to August, while December to February in the north can be surprisingly chilly, particularly in the mountains. Planning your Vietnam trip around the shoulder seasons not only offers comfortable weather but also fewer crowds, making it an ideal time to explore both regions.

End – Two Week North Vietnam Itinerary

Whether you’re planning just a week in Vietnam or a longer adventure through Southeast Asia, this itinerary hit’s the Northern highlights of Hoi An, Hue Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Halong Bay while leaving room for unforgettable experiences. For a future trip, I’d love to return to explore more of South Vietnam again— from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta, Natrang and Phu Quoc.
