Hanoi, Hội An, the Mekong Delta and Ha Long Bay.
Vietnam is one of the countries in Asia that most rewards travelling from north to south. Across 3,000 km of coastline and jungle, wholly different cultures, cuisines and landscapes live side by side.
With Away we design the north–south route, adapting the pace to your preferences: more history in Hanoi, more relaxation and beaches in the south.
The challenge in Vietnam is stepping off the crowded route. We take you to boutique retreats in Hội An you won’t find on TripAdvisor, and to Ha Long Bay in its quieter corners.

Cookery classes, night markets and local restaurants.
Vietnam has distinct microclimates by region. The north is best from October to April. The centre from February to August. The south all year round.
How much time do I need?
2 weeks for the basic north–south route. 3 weeks to do it at a leisurely pace.
How do you get around Vietnam?
Domestic flights are inexpensive and efficient. We arrange all internal transport.
Can it be combined with Cambodia or Thailand?
Yes. Vietnam + Cambodia (Angkor Wat) is a classic combination.
