Top Destinations to Explore in Northern Vietnam
The most visited places in Vietnam are Hanoi, Sa Pa, Hoang Su Phi, Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Ha Long, and please read all the details in this article. Nowadays, we replace Sapa with Hoang Su Phi because Hoang Su Phi is more beautiful and less touristy. All these destinations are in our Vietnam highlight tours.
Sapa In Lao Cai
Sapa in Lao Cai is the heart of the cultural minorities, which beats in the mountains set with endless rice fields. It seems that in Sapa one is very close to the paradise, because one can touch the clouds. Tourists can have several walks to discover crafts, cultures, and the population of the beautiful region. You might be delighted when Hmong and red Dzao, among other ethnic groups, accompany you on your journey and act as wholehearted tour guides!
Your first visit can be to Ta Van village. It is quite touristy, but it remains one of the villages not to be missed. The entrance costs 50,000 dong (2 euros). The next day our guide chose a less touristy walk in Ma Tra; the landscapes are completely different. The entrance costs 30,000 dong (1.20 euros).
Sapa remains a very touristic and busy city, but it's nice to spend time in this kind of place during a trip to northern Vietnam.
Hanoi Old Quarter
Hanoi, the bustling capital of Vietnam, can be the next ideal place for travelers to Vietnam after days in mountainous areas. You will definitely enjoy the evening strolling through the lively streets of the Old quarters, and testing one of the clubs' history to dance a little. Attention, every Wednesday two drinks are offered for girls, Hangover! The place to be! Attention ears can bleed with music, but it's funny!
Visit Hanoi In Scooters With Amazing Local Trips: You can rent a two-wheel scooter to explore the city all day long. There are a variety of activities you can do: visiting monuments and museums, walking around the lake, visiting the pagodas of the city and finishing the day by enjoying a street food session in a local walk.
Ha Long Bay
You can consult this recommended itinerary, including 2 days and one night on the mythical Halong Bay.
After a hearty meal of seafood, you can enjoy the terrace of the boat to tan before exploring the bays. A magical walk through the caves and coves.
In the next morning, visitors to Halong can take a walk on one of the islands of the bay, Me Cung, to enjoy a beautiful view and visit the cave. It is a stunning view of the sunset in the sea of Quang Ninh!
Normally, the best time to go to Hanoi is in winter days becausein summer the weather can be so hot. While Sapa can be visited all year round, Halong is recommended to be explored in Summer. In fact, Quang Ninh, Vietnam, has become increasingly more modern and been equipped with amazingly amusing places!
