Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day in Hue to explore the Imperial City, or extending your stay in Phú Quốc for a full island‑hopping cruise. To shorten the trip, you can combine Hanoi’s cultural sites into a single day and skip the night market, allowing a direct flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and omitting Phú Quốc altogether for a more compact city‑focused itinerary.
