7 Worst places to visit in Vietnam 🙃
1. District 1 – Ho Chi Minh City
Don’t stay here… it’s way too convenient. You can walk to Ben Thanh Market, endless cute cafés, trendy restaurants, and local boutique shops. Saving money on transport? So annoying. Everything is just too easy.
2. My Khe Beach – Da Nang
Terrible choice. You’re too close to a stunning beach with soft sand and clear water. Unreal sunrises, cheap seafood, amazing coffee… it’s just too relaxing.
3. Hoi An
Wouldn’t visit… unless you like lantern-lit streets, dreamy cafés, and golden hour that looks straight out of a movie. Way too charming and impossible to leave.
4. Ninh Binh
Avoid at all costs. Way too much nature, peaceful vibes, and dramatic limestone mountains with boat rides through caves. The natural raw beauty is just exhausting.
5. Old Quarter – Hanoi
Hard pass. Everything is so close you end up walking everywhere. Street food on every corner, hidden cafés, night markets… everything is too convenient.
6. Ha Long Bay
No thanks. It’s way too picturesque. Limestone karsts, emerald water, dreamy cruises… how are you supposed to go back to normal life after this?
7. Sapa
Wouldn’t suggest it unless you like unreal mountain views, endless rice terraces, and peaceful village vibes. The air is too fresh and it’s way too hard to leave.
In case you didn’t catch my sarcasm, I LOVED every single one of these places and would go back in a heartbeat ❤️ If you’re planning a Vietnam travel itinerary, these are all must-visit destinations!
