>relaxed pace>4 activities a day>all overrated tourist trapsJust ask chatgpt at this point.>late brunch. Optional lantern or cooking class. Sunset river cruise.holy shit lmao this is the cringiest shit I've read this week
>>2837853Ah, okay. Any recommendations?
Spend all 7 days in 1-2 cities. Vietnam is meant to be expierenced. Get all the touristy Instagram shit out of your head.
>>2837843If you book a massage in some of the places in Hoi An they will pick you up for free at your hotel in Danang. Many do this 1. to get a nice herbal beat down 2. avoid the cost of paying a Grab.
>>2841345A grab anywhere is like 1-3 bucks lmao
>>2837853This itinerary already look gpt generated desu
>>2841882No its not moron, its 25km , its $13
It's honestly not that bad given it's mostly all in central VNAll I'd say is at that time of year maybe reconsider Hanoi? I've only traveled through but heard it's really bad air in winter
This has to be the worst bait thread on /trv/ in years.itinerary from hell, pseudo luxury hotels, pseudo "fine dining" restaurants serving sloppy "viet food meets french cuisine" autism, activities from a rock bottom lower class begpacker tour book and of course a "lantern or cooking class" for the ultimate reckless faggotery.Hilarious
>>2842115Oh no better calculate that into your budget! Dear lord 13!! What if he takes a wrong turn. And it's 13.50! Better watch out!!Lmao kys actually
I'm in Hanoi now, highly recommend spending a day just walking around Yen hoa district.Vietnam military history museum on a week day is comedy gold, busses of highschool kids from the countryside that want their picture taken with anyone white.Old quarter is tourist central, the further away you get the more real everything is
