Da Nang/Hoi An or Han Noi

Fly into Da Nang and head straight to Hoi An. It’s awesome. If you want the party zone, head to HCMC. It’s wild and such an interesting city

Da nang is nice.

Vietnam is a pretty big country with a lot of hotels. I’d recommend staying in the North (Hanoi / Old Quarter / Hoan Kiem Lake area)….I’d avoid HCMC it’s a HOT MESS down there. IMO

At least include the airport or city you're flying to. It's a big country.
