Vietnam in November

[Oscar]

For a trip to Vietnam in the month of January, can Sapa be considered as not many were adding to their itinerary. I'm planning for a 9 day trip and not sure what places I can cover. Have these in mind: Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long Bay, Da Nang, Hoi An. Please provide your suggestions on the places to visit. .

I'm travelling to vietnam with friends on 22 nov 2024, planned & booked everything on my own.
Booked flights in May 2024
Booked hotels in aug 2024
Took visas in oct 2024

There's actually no challenges and everything is straight forward.
There are enough YouTube videos explaining via process and all places to visit.

My flights, hotels and visas were together under 30k i guess for 6 days
We've planned for a budget trip, so going on the cheapest flights vietjet and airasia. Rooms are all airbnb.
Visiting ho chi minh city and danang

Does anybody used Grab in Vietnam? Is it safe to use? I installed the app but unable to add my Diners card in it. Any workaround?

Yes It is very safe and convenient to use. I recently travelled to Vietnam from Nov 1 - 12, and used grab heavily for cabs. I was not able to add diners card on it, was able to add visa and mastercard though.

Also I suggest you to pay with cash on Grab, as there is 4% extra charge on foreign cards.

I was also
