THE HANOI PREMIUM TRAVEL MANIFESTO
At Hanoi Premium Travel, we do not simply design tours — we craft once-in-a-lifetime journeys.
We believe that true luxury is not defined by extravagance, but by meaning, authenticity, privacy, and perfection in every detail. It is the art of traveling without compromise, where every moment is intentional, every experience personal, and every guest treated as our only guest.
We believe that no two travelers are the same, and therefore no two journeys should ever be identical. Every itinerary we create is bespoke, shaped entirely around your interests, pace, aspirations, and the way you wish to experience Vietnam.
We believe that time is the rarest luxury. That is why we eliminate stress, complexity, and uncertainty — so you can travel with complete peace of mind, guided by local experts who open doors to places, stories, and encounters that most travelers never reach.
We believe that privacy is power. Your journey is yours alone — with your own private guide, private vehicle, and curated experiences designed exclusively for you and your loved ones.
We believe that authentic connection is the soul of travel — the quiet conversation with a local artisan, the shared smile with a mountain child, the gentle rhythm of life along the river. These are the moments that transform a trip into a memory that lasts forever.
And above all, we believe that luxury lies in how you feel — safe, inspired, understood, and deeply moved.
This is not mass tourism.
This is not a standard itinerary.
This is private, meaningful, elevated travel — the way Vietnam was meant to be experienced.
HANOI PREMIUM TRAVEL IS WHERE YOUR JOURNEY BECOMES A STORY WORTH TELLING.

Visa Requirements:
The visa requirements for Vietnam depend on your nationality, purpose, and duration of your visit. There are different ways to get a visa for Vietnam, such as:
• Visa exemption: Some countries have bilateral agreements with Vietnam that allow their citizens to enter Vietnam without a visa for a certain period. You can check the list of visa-exempt countries here.
• E-visa: This is an electronic visa that you can apply for online through the official website. The e-visa is valid for 30 days and single entry only. The e-visa fee is 25 USD and it takes three working days to process.
• Visa on arrival: This is a visa that you can get upon arrival at one of the four international airports in Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, or Nha Trang). You need to apply for an approval letter online before your trip through a reliable agency. The approval letter fee varies depending on the agency and the type of visa you need. You also need to pay a stamp fee at the airport, which is 25 USD for -entry and 50 USD for -entry.
News on Vietnam E-Visa
From 15 August 2023, travelers from all over the world holding a Vietnam e-visa will be able to make multiple visits to Vietnam within 90 days. Streamline your visa application and get more time to prepare for your trip to Vietnam with the Vietnam E-Visa!
Currency:
The currency used in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Credit cards are accepted in major cities and tourist areas, but it's recommended to carry cash, especially when traveling to remote areas.
Health and Safety:
It's advisable to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses. Vaccinations for diseases like hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus are recommended. Tap water is not safe to drink, so it's best to stick to bottled water and avoid street food that may not be properly cooked.
Language:
The official language of Vietnam is Vietnamese. While English is spoken in major tourist areas, it's always helpful to learn a few basic Vietnamese phrases or carry a language translation app.
The Best Time to Visit North Vietnam
The best time to visit North Vietnam is between March and May and between September to November, when the weather is mild, dry, and sunny. However, this may vary depending on your specific destinations and interests. For example, if you want to see the rice fields in Ha Giang, the best time is September and October, when they are ripe and golden.
What is the Weather Like in North Vietnam?
The weather in North Vietnam varies depending on the season and the region. Generally, North Vietnam has a cool but mostly dry winter from November to April, and a hot and humid summer from May to October with the most rainfall. The average temperature in Hanoi is 17-22 ° C in winter and 24-32 ° C in summer. The mountainous areas such as Sapa can be quite cold in winter, especially from December to March. The coastal areas such as Halong Bay can be misty and cloudy in winter, but sunny and clear in spring.
What Should I Pack for North Vietnam?
What you should pack for North Vietnam depends on the season and the activities you plan to do. However, some general items that you may need are:
- Lightweight rain jacket or poncho, especially if you are riding a motorbike or visiting during the rainy season
- Long trousers and long-sleeved shirt for visiting temples, pagodas, and other religious sites
- Warm clothes such as a fleece, sweater, or jacket for the colder months or the mountainous areas
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat for sun protection
- Comfortable shoes for walking, hiking or biking
- Swimwear and beach towel if you plan to visit the coast or enjoy water activities
How Do I Get Around in Northern Vietnam?
There are many ways to get around in North Vietnam, depending on your budget, time, and preference. Some of the most common modes of transportation are:
- Plane: You can fly between major cities such as Hanoi, Hai Phong, Vinh, and Dien Bien Phu with domestic airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, and Bamboo Airways. Flying is fast and convenient, but also more expensive and less scenic than other options.
- Train: You can travel by train along the coast from Hanoi to Dong Hoi, Hue, Da Nang, and beyond with Vietnam Railways. Train travel is cheaper than flying, more comfortable than buses, and offers a chance to see the countryside and interact with locals. However, trains are also slower, less frequent and sometimes delayed or crowded.
- Bus: You can take buses to almost anywhere in North Vietnam with various companies such as Hoang Long, Hung Thanh and others. Buses are the cheapest and most flexible way to travel, with many routes and schedules to choose from. However, buses can also be uncomfortable, unsafe, noisy, and prone to scams or overcharging.
- Car: You can rent a car with or without a driver from reputable agencies such as Hanoi Premium Travel. Car rental gives you more freedom and comfort to explore North Vietnam at your own pace. However, car rental is also more expensive, requires a valid driver’s license and international driving permit, and involves dealing with traffic, parking, and road conditions.
- Motorbike: You can rent a motorbike from local shops or hotels in most towns and cities in North Vietnam. Motorbike rental is a popular way to experience the thrill and adventure of North Vietnam, especially in mountainous areas such as Sapa, Ha Giang, or Mai Chau. However, motorbike rental is also risky, requires a valid driver’s license and international driving permit, and involves following traffic rules, wearing helmets, and avoiding accidents.
- Cyclo: You can take a cyclo (a three-wheeled bicycle taxi) for short distances in urban areas such as Hanoi’s Old Quarter or Hoan Kiem Lake. Cyclo is a fun and relaxing way to enjoy the sights and sounds of North Vietnam’s culture and history. However, Cyclo is also slow, limited in availability, and sometimes overpriced or dishonest.
