FAQs
Having both lively city vibe and serene countryside atmosphere, South Vietnam is a worth visiting region you should not miss:
- Vibrant urban energy: Experience the energetic life of Saigoneses in Ho Chi Minh City with chaotic traffic, and try various tasty street food at dynamic night markets.

- Pristine beaches with white sand: Phu Quoc island - A paradise for relaxation lovers with breathtaking beaches preserving beautiful coral reef areas, and a huge entertainment system VinWonders including safari, aquarium, and amusement park.
Generally, 5 - 10 days are quite perfect for a trip to South Vietnam as you will have to spend at least several days to discover this region. If you have more time, extending to the beach to relax is also an excellent choice:
- 4 - 5 days: The duration is enough for travelers to explore the two different aspects of the region: the ‘city that never sleeps’ Ho Chi Minh City and the tranquil Mekong Delta
- 6 - 8 days: You will have extra time to unwind in the untouched coastal areas, which have the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam
Depending on the class you choose, the cost of a South Vietnam trip will range from US $60 - 200 /person /day. It’s quite affordable since you won’t have to take flights when getting around the region, and the main transportations here are cars, buses, and trains:
- Tight Budget: Standard Class (2* to 3* Hotels) - From US $60 - 80
- Mid-budget Option: First Class (4* Hotels) - From US $100 - 120
- Luxurious Experience: Deluxe Class (5* Hotel) - From US $140 - 180
If you have enough time, both are worth visiting. But if you have to choose one, North Vietnam is best for adventure and culture lovers, while South Vietnam is calling for foodies and history enthusiasts.
