Vietnam Complete Guide 2026: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Sapa
TL;DR
I spent twenty-three days crossing Vietnam from Hanoi to the Mekong Delta on the Reunification Express, sleeping on a Halong junk. Eight UNESCO sites along 1,650 km of S-curved coast. The e-visa for Indian passport holders costs USD 25 and allows 90 days with multi-entry since August 2023. This guide pulls together my notes, costs in VND, USD and INR, and planning details I wish I had read first.
Why Visit Vietnam in 2026
Vietnam in 2026 sits in a sweet spot few Southeast Asian countries can match. The country covers 331,212 sq km along an S-shaped coast, runs eight UNESCO World Heritage properties, and keeps daily costs lower than Thailand for comparable quality. I paid USD 12 a night for a clean Old Quarter guesthouse with breakfast; phở bò cost 35,000 VND (USD 1.40).
The August 2023 visa reform changed the calculus for Indian travellers: 90 days single or multi-entry at USD 25, processed in three working days at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. IndiGo flies direct Delhi-Hanoi and Mumbai-Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam Airlines, Air India, VietJet and AirAsia (via Kuala Lumpur) cover Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata with one stop. Return fares USD 200-450.
The contrast in one trip is unusual: limestone karst seascapes at Halong, terraced rice fields in Sapa, an intact 19th-century citadel in Hue, a 4th-century Champa Hindu complex at My Son, French colonial avenues in Saigon, and the world's largest cave passage in Quang Binh.
Background and Context
Vietnam stretches 1,650 km north to south along the Indochinese Peninsula, sharing borders with China, Laos and Cambodia. Land area 331,212 sq km, slightly larger than the United Kingdom. Population of roughly 100 million ranks 16th globally; the Kinh are 86 percent, with 53 recognised minorities including Tày, Thái, Mường, Khmer, Hoa and H'mong.
The political capital is Hanoi (metro 8.5 million), founded as Thăng Long in 1010 CE by Emperor Lý Thái Tổ. The commercial capital is Ho Chi Minh City, still called Saigon (9 million, metro 13 million), founded around 1698. Official language Vietnamese, written in the Latin-based Quốc Ngữ script developed by Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century. Currency: đồng (VND), near 25,000 VND per USD in 2026. Time zone UTC+7. Plugs Type A, C, F at 220 V.
Modern Vietnam declared independence on 2 September 1945 when Hồ Chí Minh read the Declaration of Independence at Ba Đình Square. After the First Indochina War with France (1946-1954) and the Vietnam War (1955-1975), the country reunified on 30 April 1975. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam was proclaimed 2 July 1976. The Communist Party of Vietnam is the single legal party with around 5.4 million members. The Đổi Mới (Renovation) reforms from 1986 opened the economy; poverty fell from over 70 percent in the late 1980s to under 5 percent today.
Hanoi: Thousand-Year Capital and the Old Quarter
I landed at Nội Bài Airport from Delhi at 6:30. The fixed-fare taxi (400,000 VND, USD 16) took 45 minutes. I stayed three nights on Mã Mây Street near Hoàn Kiếm Lake.
In 1010 CE, Emperor Lý Thái Tổ moved the capital from Hoa Lư to a site he renamed Thăng Long ("Ascending Dragon"). The Old Quarter (Phố Cổ, "the 36 streets") grew in the 13th century as merchant guilds: Hàng Bạc silversmiths, Hàng Gai silk, Hàng Mã paper offerings.
Hoàn Kiếm Lake holds Ngọc Sơn Temple on a small island, reached by The Húc Bridge (vermilion red). Entry 50,000 VND. The temple holds a preserved giant softshell turtle tied to the 15th-century legend of King Lê Lợi returning a magical sword to a lake turtle.
The Temple of Literature (Văn Miếu), founded 1070 under Emperor Lý Thánh Tông and dedicated to Confucius, became the country's first national university in 1076. The third courtyard holds 82 stone stelae on stone turtles listing doctoral graduates 1442-1779. Entry 70,000 VND.
The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum at Ba Đình Square is open mornings only Tuesday-Thursday and weekends; free, no cameras, shorts or sleeveless tops. Completed 1975, it sits in front of Hồ Chí Minh's 1958 stilt house. Train Street is a lane where the railway passes within arm's reach of café tables; I watched the 19:00 train ease past at walking speed.
Food: Phở bò is the breakfast standard; Phở Gia Truyền on Bát Đàn Street (1953) charges 65,000 VND. Bún chả (grilled pork, cold noodles) was made famous at Bún Chả Hương Liên. Egg coffee (cà phê trứng), invented at Café Giảng in 1946, layers whipped egg yolk over drip coffee.
Ho Chi Minh City: Saigon, War Remnants and Reunification
SE3 Hanoi-Saigon takes about 30 hours over 1,726 km on the Reunification Express (built 1936, rebuilt 1976). I split mine: SE3 Hanoi-Hue, train Hue-Da Nang, bus Hoi An, VietJet Da Nang-Saigon for USD 38.
Saigon was founded 1698 when Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh established Vietnamese administration over the area. The French captured it 1859 and made it capital of Cochinchina. Most colonial architecture (Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Central Post Office, Saigon Opera House) dates 1860-1910. Notre-Dame, at the head of Đồng Khởi Street, was built 1863-1880 with red bricks from Marseille and stained glass from Chartres; twin bell towers rise 58 m. The building was under restoration, reopening projected late 2027 or 2028.
The Independence Palace is where the war ended on 30 April 1975, when North Vietnamese tank 843 crashed through the front gate. Designed by Ngô Viết Thụ and built 1962-1966, the interior preserves cabinet rooms, helipad, basement war command bunker, and original tanks. Entry 65,000 VND.
The War Remnants Museum on Võ Văn Tần Street (opened 1975, renamed 1995) documents the Indochina Wars 1945-1975 from the Vietnamese perspective. Allow two hours minimum. Entry 40,000 VND. Children under 10 may find content too heavy.
The Củ Chi Tunnels lie 70 km northwest of Saigon. The network expanded to roughly 250 km of underground passages during the war, used by Việt Cộng forces. Bến Đình and Bến Dược sections are open, demonstration tunnels widened. Half-day tours USD 15-25.
Saigon food differs from Hanoi's. Cơm tấm (broken rice with grilled pork) is the southern lunch standard at 40,000-60,000 VND. Bánh mì 25,000-50,000 VND. Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa on Lê Thị Riêng was 70,000 VND.
Halong Bay: 1,600 Karsts and the UNESCO Seascape
Halong Bay was UNESCO-inscribed 1994 for outstanding natural beauty, extended 2000 for geological values. The bay covers 1,553 sq km in the Gulf of Tonkin and contains approximately 1,600 limestone karst islands and islets rising 250-650 m above sea level. The Hạ Long-Cát Bà archipelago expansion brought the designated area to about 7,400 sq km in 2023.
I booked a two-night cruise from a Hanoi Old Quarter agency for USD 220 all-in (shuttle 3.5h, meals, kayaking, cave visits). Cruises range USD 100/night budget up to USD 300+ for premium operators (Paradise, Indochina Junk, Heritage Bình Chuẩn).
My route covered Bái Tử Long Bay, the quieter eastern extension. Day one I kayaked through Vung Viêng floating fishing village. Day two: Sửng Sốt Cave (a three-chamber limestone cavern found by French researchers in 1901) and Ti Top Island, named after Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov who visited 1962 with Hồ Chí Minh, with a 427-step climb to a viewpoint.
February-March bring heavy fog (visibility sometimes under 100 m). I went late October: clear skies, 23°C water. Best months May-October. Cát Bà Island, the largest, is reachable by ferry from Hải Phòng as a budget base.
Hue: Imperial City and the Last Dynasty
Hue (Huế) sits halfway down the coast on the Hương (Perfume) River. The Complex of Hue Monuments was UNESCO-inscribed 1993 for the city's role as capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty 1802-1945.
The Imperial City (Hoàng Thành) is enclosed within a 10-km moat and outer Citadel wall, modelled partly on Beijing's Forbidden City. Construction began 1804 under Emperor Gia Long. The outer Citadel encloses the Imperial City, which encloses the Forbidden Purple City (Tử Cấm Thành). The 1968 Tết Offensive destroyed large portions; of 148 original buildings, about 20 survive in repaired form. Thái Hòa Palace, Mieu Temple complex, and Ngọ Môn (Noon Gate) are the principal restored structures. Entry 200,000 VND.
The Nine Dynastic Urns (Cửu Đỉnh), cast in bronze 1835-1837 under Emperor Minh Mạng, stand in front of The Mieu temple. Each weighs roughly 2 tonnes and carries 17 panels depicting Vietnam's geography, flora, fauna, weapons and ships. UNESCO Memory of the World 2024.
Royal Tombs spread along the Hương south of the city. I visited two by half-day rented motorbike (150,000 VND). Khải Định Tomb (1920-1931) breaks from tradition with ceramic and glass mosaics covering the interior. Entry 150,000 VND. Tự Đức Tomb (1867) sits in a forest park with a small lake; the emperor lived here for stretches before dying 1883.
Bún bò Huế is spicier and red-tinted from lemongrass and chilli oil; Bún Bò Huế Bà Mỹ on Lý Thường Kiệt charges 50,000 VND.
Hoi An: Lantern-Lit Ancient Town
Hoi An (Hội An) was UNESCO-inscribed 1999, a well-preserved Southeast Asian trading port from the 15th-19th centuries, a maritime Silk Road hub for Japanese, Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese and Indian merchants.
The Ancient Town covers about 30 hectares with 1,107 timber-frame heritage buildings, grid parallel to the Thu Bồn River. Cars and motorbikes are banned from central streets at most hours.
The Japanese Covered Bridge (Chùa Cầu), the symbol of Hoi An, was traditionally dated to 1593 by the Japanese merchant community, bridge temple added by the Vietnamese in the 18th century. Major conservation ran 2022-2024. Entry is in the 120,000 VND combined ticket. Quan Công Temple (Chùa Ông, 1653) is dedicated to the Chinese general venerated for loyalty. The Phước Kiến (Fujian) Assembly Hall (1690, expanded 1759) is the largest of five Chinese assembly halls.
Over 600 registered tailor shops; quality varies sharply. I had a linen shirt and trousers made over two fittings at Yaly Couture for USD 65; reputable shops need two to three days. On the 14th of each lunar month, electric lights go off and silk lanterns light the streets. Paper boats with candles release into the Thu Bồn for 20,000 VND. Specialities: cao lầu, white rose dumplings, and bánh mì from Bánh Mì Phượng on Phan Châu Trinh Street (Anthony Bourdain in 2009 ranked it among the world's best).
Sapa: Northern Highlands and Hill Tribes
Sapa (Sa Pa) sits at 1,600 m in Lào Cai Province in the Hoàng Liên Sơn mountains, near the Chinese border. Developed as a French hill station in 1922, rebuilt as a trekking centre from the 1990s. The drive from Hanoi takes 5.5h, or the overnight train to Lào Cai then a one-hour shuttle. I took the night train (290,000 VND soft sleeper).
Fansipan Peak (3,143 m) is the highest mountain in mainland Southeast Asia. Summiting on foot is a two- or three-day trek for USD 80-150. The Sun World cable car (opened 2016) was the longest three-rope cable car in the world at construction, spanning 6.3 km and lifting riders from Mường Hoa Valley to within 600 m of the summit in about 15 minutes. Round-trip 750,000 VND.
The Mường Hoa Valley has rice terraces shaped over centuries by Black H'mong, Red Dao and Tay communities. Best windows: late May to early July (paddies mirror-flood for planting) and mid-September to early October (rice ripens before harvest). I joined a two-day, one-night homestay trek for USD 35 all-in, descending through Lao Chải, Tả Van and Giàng Tả Chải. Host family was Black H'mong in a wooden stilt house. Dinner: sticky rice, stir-fried pork, foraged ferns, free-range chicken, corn wine.
Mekong Delta, Phong Nha, Da Nang and Da Lat (Tier-2 Highlights)
Mekong Delta. 40,000 sq km where the Mekong splits into nine distributaries (the "Nine Dragons"). Cần Thơ is the main city. Cái Răng floating market, 6 km downriver, runs 04:30-09:00 daily, traders hanging sample produce on tall poles (bẹo). Sunrise boat tour from Ninh Kiều Wharf 250,000 VND. Bến Tre Province (90 km south of Saigon) is the "coconut capital" with around 800 million coconuts a year.
Phong Nha-Ke Bang. Quảng Bình park, UNESCO 2003, extended 2015. Karst roughly 400 million years old. Hang Sơn Đoòng (Son Doong), discovered by farmer Hồ Khanh in 1991 and surveyed 2009, has a main passage about 5 km long with sections 200 m high and 150 m wide, the largest cave passage by volume in the world. It contains an internal jungle where collapsed dolines admit sunlight. The six-day Oxalis expedition costs USD 3,000 (about 1,000 permits per year). Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Cave are day-visits.
Da Nang and My Son. Da Nang (1.2 million) is the air gateway for central Vietnam. Mỹ Khê Beach runs over 30 km of white sand. The Dragon Bridge (2013) breathes fire and water Saturday-Sunday at 21:00. Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn), 9 km south, is five limestone hills named for the five Chinese elements, with caves holding Buddhist shrines. Entry 40,000 VND. My Son Sanctuary (UNESCO 1999) contains around 70 Hindu temples built by the Champa Kingdom 4th-13th centuries, dedicated mainly to Shiva.
Da Lat. At 1,500 m in the Central Highlands, developed by the French as a hill station from 1893, planned by Alexandre Yersin. Temperatures 15-25°C year-round, with around 1,500 surviving French-era villas. The Crazy House (Hằng Nga Guest House, by Đặng Việt Nga from 1990) mixes Gaudí-inspired organic shapes with cave-like rooms. Day entry 60,000 VND.

Planning Your Trip
Best time. The north (Hanoi, Halong, Sapa) has four seasons: cool dry winter November-March (5-20°C), warm spring April-May, hot humid summer June-August (28-35°C with monsoon rain), pleasant autumn September-October. Central Vietnam (Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An) has peak rains and typhoon risk September-November, best window February-May. The south (Saigon, Mekong) is tropical year-round at 25-35°C, dry December-April. October-April is the safest national bet.
Visa. Indian passport holders apply at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. USD 25 single or USD 50 multi-entry, both 90-day (August 2023 reform). Processing three working days (in practice 36-60 hours). You need a passport-style photo, passport photo page scan (valid 6+ months), credit card, onward travel details. Print the e-visa on entry.
International flights. Direct from India: IndiGo Delhi-Hanoi (4.5h), IndiGo Mumbai-Saigon (5h), Vietnam Airlines Delhi-Hanoi and Mumbai-Saigon, Air India seasonal. One-stop via AirAsia (KL), Thai Airways (Bangkok), Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific from Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Return fares USD 200-450.

Internal transport. Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, Bamboo and Vietravel fly Hanoi-Da Nang-Saigon every 30 minutes, one-way USD 30-100. The Reunification Express covers 1,726 km in roughly 30 hours, soft sleeper USD 70-100. Splitting at Hue, Da Nang and Nha Trang is standard. Sleeper buses cheapest (USD 25-45) but cramped.
Climate and packing. Light layers. December-February north needs a fleece and light jacket; Sapa winter can drop to 0°C. Quick-dry rain shell for September-November central coast. Temples: cover shoulders and knees; slip-on shoes. Hats off inside Buddhist halls. Photography of soldiers and government buildings is restricted; ask before photographing rural people, especially in Sapa.
Money and connectivity. ATMs widespread; Vietcombank, BIDV and Agribank handle international withdrawals (5 million VND limit, fee 20,000-50,000 VND). Cards in mid-range hotels and restaurants; cash for street food, taxis, markets. A Viettel tourist SIM at Hanoi airport was 200,000 VND for 30 days unlimited 4G.
Frequently Asked Questions
E-visa speed for Indian passports? Three working days at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn; in practice 36-60 hours. Apply 7-10 days ahead. USD 25 single, USD 50 multi-entry, 90-day (August 2023 reform).
Can I use US dollars? Accepted in mid-range and upper hotels, tour agencies and dive operators, but rates 2-3% below bank rate. Daily spending needs đồng; use major bank ATMs.
Temple dress code? Cover shoulders and knees. Remove shoes inside Buddhist buildings. Remove hats and sunglasses inside halls. Walk clockwise around stupas. Do not point feet at Buddha images. Photography is fine in courtyards; ask inside shrines.
Vegetarian-friendly? Surprisingly easy, due to Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Many temples have cơm chay restaurants; Saigon has dozens of vegetarian eateries, busy on 1st and 15th lunar days. Look for "Chay" on signs.
Scams? Hanoi Old Quarter shoeshine surprise pricing; decline firmly. Saigon has had bag snatches by motorbike. Use Grab or official airport taxi desks rather than meter taxis. Hue and Hoi An rickshaw drivers sometimes quote in dollars at 3-4x normal; agree in VND.
Photography at the War Remnants Museum? Allowed throughout. Content is graphic, especially Agent Orange exhibits and the war photographer gallery. Framing is from the Vietnamese national perspective. Children under 10 may find it too heavy.
Halong fog? February-March heaviest. April-October reliable; September-October especially good for clear light and warm water (23-25°C). Late August-November carries typhoon risk.
Train or fly Hanoi-Saigon? SE3/SE4 takes about 30 hours end-to-end. Splitting at Hue (12h) and Da Nang (3h further, Hoi An 30 min) is standard. Sleeper buses USD 25-45 but cramped. Flights USD 50-100 save a day. My pick: night train Hanoi-Hue, road through Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An, fly Da Nang-Saigon.

Cultural Notes
The Kinh (Việt) majority is about 86 percent, with 53 officially recognised ethnic minorities including Tày, Thái, Mường, Khmer, Hoa (ethnic Chinese) and H'mong. The Cham, descendants of the Champa Kingdom (192-1832 CE), live mainly in Ninh Thuận and Bình Thuận, split between Hindu Bani and Cham Muslim.
Religion is syncretic. Folk worship of ancestors blends with Mahayana Buddhism (around 14% practising), Confucian ethics, and Taoist cosmology in the Tam Giáo (Three Teachings) tradition. Catholicism, brought by Portuguese and French missionaries from the 16th century, is around 7%. Cao Đài (founded 1926 in Tây Ninh) combines Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism and Taoism, with around 2.5 million followers.
Tết Nguyên Đán (Lunar New Year), late January to mid-February, is the largest annual festival: ancestor offerings, reunions, special foods (bánh chưng north, bánh tét south), week-long holiday. The áo dài is the national dress. Water puppetry (Múa rối nước), a Northern delta folk tradition from the 11th century, runs daily at the Thăng Long Water Puppet Theatre in Hanoi for 100,000-200,000 VND. The nón lá (conical leaf hat) is still worn by farmers and market vendors. The Communist Party of Vietnam (founded 1930) is the sole legal party with around 5.4 million members. Foreign visitors should avoid open political discussions, photographing military installations, and posting politically sensitive content on Vietnamese-IP social media.
