I’m so excited to bring to you my Ultimate 1 Week Travel Guide To Northern Vietnam! Since we only had one week to explore, we decided to focus on Northern Vietnam, with the 3 main destinations being Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Ninh Binh. I’ve pulled together all the travel tips, main attractions to see, places to eat, where to stay, and other pertinent information to make this the perfect travel guide for your trip to Vietnam.

We flew into Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and spent our first full day exploring Hanoi Old Quarter. The Old Quarter feels like a place paused in time, still vibrant with history, and brimming with cultural influences from China and France to name a few. Keep scrolling to see the sites we visited, the Airbnb we stayed at, and details on my outfit. Hanoi needs to be on your travel bucket list for sure!
