Digital travel platform Agoda sheds light on how micro-travel – short, easy getaways – is resonating with Vietnamese travelers. Whether it’s a quick weekend recharge or a midweek break, micro-travel is proving to be a convenient way for locals to explore more of their own country, even on limited time.
Micro-travel makes discovering nearby destinations, cultural hubs, and hidden gems more accessible than ever. From day trips to one-night stays, these bite-sized journeys are ideal for travelers with limited vacation time or unpredictable work commitments. With lower costs and reduced planning stress, taking a ‘micro-cation’ is the ideal antidote to those seeking a quick, stress-free adventure.
Here are Vietnam’s top 5 destinations for a quick yet memorable getaway, based on Agoda booking data from the first five months of 2025:
Ho Chi Minh City
A vibrant metropolis that never sleeps, HCMC is perfect for a one-night recharge. From rooftop cocktails to street food feasts and buzzing nightlife, the city delivers nonstop energy in every corner.
