FAQs

Da Nang & Hanoi Travel Guide: FAQs

Short answers to what travellers ask about Da Nang & Hanoi.

Is five days enough for Da Nang and Hanoi?

Five days covers the main city highlights with a few day trips, such as Hoi An or Marble Mountains. Seven days is more comfortable if you want a Ha Long Bay cruise and Ba Na Hills. Three days is tight, so plan five or more for a relaxed trip.

Do Indians need a visa for Vietnam?

Yes. Indian ordinary-passport holders need a preapproved Vietnamese visa, normally an e-Visa from Vietnam's official system. Apply through the official portal and check your passport details before you submit.

Are there direct flights from India to Hanoi?

Yes, on some schedules. Direct services run from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, with indicative flight times of about four to five hours. Schedules and airlines change, so confirm before you book.

How do I travel between Hanoi and Da Nang?

A domestic flight between Noi Bai International Airport and Da Nang International Airport is the fastest practical option. Trains and long-distance buses take substantially longer, so most combined trips use the flight.

Is Vietnam safe for Indian tourists?

Vietnam is generally suitable for tourists. Take normal precautions against traffic, petty theft, scams and weather changes. Keep your passport and visa documents safe, and use licensed transport.

Is vegetarian food available in Hanoi and Da Nang?

Yes. Vegetarian food is widely available, and both cities have Indian restaurants. Travellers with strict dietary needs should confirm ingredients and preparation before ordering.

Do I need permits to visit Hoi An or Ha Long Bay?

Ordinary sightseeing does not generally need a separate tourist permit. Entrance tickets may apply at heritage sites such as Hoi An Ancient Town, and cruise operators handle the documentation needed for Ha Long Bay.
