Highlight

This 5-day Northern Vietnam journey brings you through the region’s most iconic landmarks, each offering something found nowhere else in the country.

Begin in Hanoi, home to Ba Dinh Square where Vietnam declared its independence, and the One Pillar Pagoda, a rare lotus-shaped temple dating back to 1049.

Travel to Ninh Binh to experience Trang An, the only UNESCO mixed natural and cultural heritage site in Vietnam, and visit Bai Dinh Pagoda, the largest Buddhist complex in Southeast Asia.

Continue to Ha Long Bay, famous for its thousands of limestone karsts rising dramatically from emerald water—a natural wonder unique to the region.

Return to Hanoi to dive deeper into its culture, from the Ethnology Museum showcasing all 54 ethnic groups to the traditional Water Puppet Show, an art form performed solely on water.

With history, culture, stunning landscapes, and extraordinary sites found only in Northern Vietnam, this itinerary promises a rich and unforgettable experience from start to finish.
