Three weeks (21 days) is the luxury time frame you need to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and culture of Vietnam without compromise. Our Vietnam Itinerary 3 Weeks packages are designed for the explorer who wants to go beyond the typical highlights. You'll not only visit the classics - Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, and Saigon - but also venture off the beaten path into the remote beauty of Ha Giang, relax on the pristine Central Coast beaches, and spend quality time exploring the daily life of the Mekong Delta. This comprehensive package allows for slow, meaningful travel, offering unparalleled depth and an authentic connection to the Vietnamese people and landscapes.
It depends on your interests! Some of our most popular tours include:

Ideally, 10 to 14 days gives you enough time to explore Vietnam from north to south without rushing. But even a shorter trip of 7 days can be very rewarding if well planned. We can tailor the itinerary to fit your time and interests.
A 3-week itinerary is the "luxury of time." It allows you to move at a slower, more immersive pace and explore regions that shorter tours must skip. You can venture deep into the Northern Highlands (Ha Giang Loop), spend meaningful time in remote ethnic villages, and still have a few days for total relaxation on pristine beaches like Phu Quoc or Quy Nhon.
Yes! With 21 days, you have the leisure to experience the Thong Nhat train. A popular leg is the night train from Hanoi to Hue or the scenic coastal route from Hue to Da Nang. It’s an authentic way to see the landscape, though domestic flights are still recommended for very long distances (e.g., Da Nang to Saigon) to save time for sightseeing.
Extremely easy. You don’t need to pack 21 outfits. Vietnamese hotels offer fast and very cheap laundry services (often returned the same day). Packing for 7 to 10 days is sufficient even for a 3-week journey.
Ideally, both! In 21 days, you can spend 3 days in Sapa for classic rice terrace trekking and then 3-4 days in Ha Giang for the most dramatic mountain scenery in Southeast Asia. Ha Giang is less touristy than Sapa and is often the #1 highlight for long-term travelers.
Since Vietnam is long, you may experience different weather as you travel.
Tip: Pack layers. The North can be chilly in the mountains, while the South is almost always tropical. Check the specific seasons for each region (North, Central, South) as they vary significantly throughout the year.
