I have also linked below some of my favourite places we went to in each location in case you decide to do your own itinerary.

HANOI

Old Quarter
The chaotic heart of Hanoi — perfect for exploring cafés, markets, street food and scooters flying past.

Train Street
A must-see! The cafés sit right by the tracks and you can watch the trains pass through safely during scheduled times.

Hoan Kiem Lake
A peaceful walk around the lake with beautiful views and nearby temples.

HA LONG BAY/ CASTAWAY ISLAND

Ha Long Bay Cruise
Sailing through the limestone cliffs and emerald water — absolutely iconic.

Kayaking through caves
Paddle around hidden coves and caves for the full Ha Long Bay experience.

Castaway Island Stay
Private beach, water activities, volleyball, and chilled sunset evenings.

NINH BINH

Trang An Boat Tour
Glide through caves and limestone mountains on a traditional boat — unreal scenery!

Mua Cave Viewpoint
A steep climb but the panoramic views over the rice fields are so worth it.

Biking through the countryside
Cycle past rice paddies, water buffalo and local villages.

HOI AN

Lantern-Lit Old Town
The cutest, most magical place — colourful lanterns, shops and tailor-made clothing everywhere.

Basket Boat Experience
Spin around in traditional round boats (so much fun).

Hoi An Night Market
Food, shopping and the prettiest lantern stalls.
