Day 1: Ho Chi Minh city- Cu Chi Tunnel
The first highlight of Vietnam in 7 days will be Vietnam war. Obviously, this war has been one of the most significant events in not only Vietnam but also the whole world. In fact, many people now remember Vietnam as part of this war. To know more about this period, first, we need to land in the city named after a Vietnamese hero, Ho Chi Minh or uncle Ho. After arriving in Saigon, you can spend your first night here. The nightlife in this biggest city of Vietnam has always been vivid and lively. If you are tired after a long flight, relaxing at your hotel is also a good choice. First thing of the day will be a short visit to Cu Chi Tunnels, which will give you an insight into Vietnamese life during Vietnam war. You also have a chance to deepen your knowledge about this famous historical period by checking in War Museum and Reunification Palace. Obviously, these historical relics will tell you a lot of stories, which are difficult to understand without visiting them in person.
By the time you get out of these tourist attractions, you might have had enough historical value for a day. It is time to have some retail therapy, leading us to another popular place, Ben Thanh Market. You can almost find anything you want there, from food to clothes, from small souvenirs to daily life necessaries. The vibrancy of this market can fulfill your wildest dream.
Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City- Mekong Delta
The second highlight of Vietnam in 7 days should be Mekong Delta. This river has connected many countries in this area, including Vietnam.

Day 4: Hue city
The fourth highlight of Vietnam in 7 days is the old capital of Vietnam, the home of the last Vietnamese dynasty, Nguyen House. As a result, it is not surprising to know that there are many well-preserved royal monuments in this former Imperial City such as Thien Mu Pagoda or Tu Duc’s tomb, The Citadel or Forbidden Purple City. But to me, the most impressive charm of this city is a dragon boat cruising trip in Huong River. While enjoying the warm breezes, you can also pamper your soul by listening to Nha Nhac Cung Dinh (Vietnamese Royal Classic Music). After that, a quick visit to Dong Ba market might add some colors to your trip, as you can know how local people trade, live and eat.
