- Notre Dame Cathedral reflects the city’s French colonial influence. Built in the late 19th century, the building typifies neo-Romanesque architecture with its iron spires and arched windows.

Days 4–5: Hoi An
A brief flight by way of Da Nang brings you to Hoi An on Vietnam’s northern coast. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is dotted with more than 800 temples and other structures dating back to the 16th century. You’ll visit some of these historic sites as well as a silk embroidery workshop.

Days 8–12: Hanoi and Halong Bay, and Return Trip
Next, you’ll make your way to Halong Bay, which you’ll tour by boat the following morning. More than 1,500 islands and limestone formations are scattered throughout the bay. For the final leg of the trip, the tour heads to Hanoi to give you a chance to explore the Old Quarter and see a water puppet show depicting the city’s history.
