About this trip
This 10-day route traces Vietnam's east coast from Hanoi, linking together the country's heritage sites rather than just its cities. Expect a mix of history, coastline and everyday life along the way.
You'll take in ancient palaces, traditional markets and stretches of sunlit beach, alongside time in Halong Bay, one of the trip's clear highlights.
