Vietnam Family Travel

Three months. One backpack each. And a curious 11-year-old ready to soak up every moment. We wandered Ho Chi Minh & Hanoi’s lively streets, swam in Phu Quoc’s clear waters, cruised Ninh Binh’s karst rivers, and explored caves in Phong Nha to name a few of the amazing places we visited.

But planning where to go in a country this diverse? That’s the tricky part. After traveling from south to north as a family, I’ve put together this guide to Vietnam’s top destinations, places that are exciting, family-friendly, and truly worth your time. Whether you want beaches, culture, or nature, this list will help you plan with confidence.
