Vietnam - Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City

Eight-day independent rail journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City

Illustration of Vietnam - Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City

Railbookers offers an eight-day independent rail journey through Vietnam from Hanoi, one of the world's oldest capitals, to Ho Chi Minh City. You will spend seven nights travelling on overnight trains alongside locals, watching rice fields, villages, and mountains pass by your window. The route includes a cruise on Lan Ha Bay, where limestone islands dot the water. Hanoi itself holds well-preserved colonial buildings, ancient pagodas, and museums that reflect centuries of history. This package suits travellers who prefer to move at their own pace without a guide, exploring stops and making their own connections. Because it is independent, you have flexibility in how you spend your time in each city, though you will need to manage your own transport to hotels and book activities separately.
