About this trip
Five days in northern Vietnam built around two contrasting settings: the tangle of Hanoi's Old Quarter and the still waters of Ha Long Bay.
You start by exploring streets shaped by centuries of trade, then head out to the bay for a slower-paced cruise among limestone islands.
It's an easy-going, partially guided trip, suited to families or groups after a first taste of Vietnam rather than a deep dive.
What you'll do
- Wander the 36 streets of Hanoi's Old Quarter, each historically tied to a trade
- Cruise Ha Long Bay, one of the new seven wonders of the world
- Take in limestone pillars rising from the water across the bay's islands and islets
- Easy pace, suited to families and groups
- Partially guided, so some time is your own to explore
We started tracking this trip on 19 Jul — the chart appears once a few days of real history build up. Every point is a price we recorded ourselves.
