Is 3 weeks in Vietnam too much?

Okay, so you’re wondering if 3 weeks in Vietnam is too much, huh? Honestly, absolutely not! I spent almost a month there once, and even then, I felt like I was just scratching the surface. I mean, Vietnam is HUGE, right? And it’s not just about beautiful beaches (though, oh my gosh, the beaches!), it’s about the culture, the food, the history… the list goes on!

Three weeks? That’s actually a pretty sweet spot. You’ve got enough time to explore the coast, maybe hit up places like Ha Long Bay (seriously, picture-postcard gorgeous!) and then head inland. Sapa’s rice terraces are incredible, almost otherworldly. Remember to plan, but not too much, right? You want some wiggle room for spontaneous adventures and delicious street food discoveries, trust me on this.

And the best part? Vietnam is super safe and pretty affordable. You can totally travel around without breaking the bank. Like, I remember getting a bowl of pho for under two bucks! Seriously! The people are generally really friendly, and getting around is surprisingly easy, even if you don’t speak Vietnamese (though learning a few basic phrases is always a good idea, it is polite, right?).

So yeah, three weeks gives you a chance to actually experience Vietnam, not just rush through it. You can slow down, soak it all in, and really get a feel for the place. And who knows, maybe you’ll even find yourself wanting to stay longer! Happened to a friend of mine – she extended her trip by a whole month! And after experiencing it myself? I totally get why. ????
