There are a huge number of places to visit in Vietnam and any of them could take up an entire visit to the country. I prefer beaches and resorts. Here are 3 of my favorite locations:
Nha Trang: looks set to take on Pattaya in Thailand as the region's flashiest beach resort: sun, fun and nightlife. You can snorkel, ride the jet skis, bake on the beach, and stay in a five-star hotel. You can also gorge yourself on seafood and take in a few pagodas and historic sites if you feel touristy.
Halong Bay and Haiphong: 3000 islands in the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Halong Bay near the city of Haiphong is one of the region's natural marvels. There are perhaps hundreds of grottoes and beaches. Looking for your own private beach for a day? This is the place...
Vang Tau: For most of the 20th century it has been the premier beach resort in southern Vietnam. An old port, Vung Tau was the first area of Vietnam to become a vacation and health resort for foreigners. Part of its appeal was location; the city sits on a small peninsula about 75 miles from Ho Chi Minh City. Its 12 miles of soft sand beaches and calm waters still draw hordes of visitors looking to escape the stress of life in a city of 4 million people.

History: Ha Noi (North), Hue (middle)
Old Town: Hoi An, My Son (north middle part of the country, near Da Nang)
Beach: Nha Trang, Da Nang, Phan Thiet (south middle)
City Life and Food: Sai Gon
From Ha Noi, you can take a one-to-two-day tour to the beautiful Ha Long Bay.
From Da Nang, you can easily visit Hoi An, My Son, and Hue.
From Sai Gon, you can fly short trips to Nha Trang or Da Lat, or you can take bus tour in the mekong rivers.
Plenty of things to experience, with about two to three weeks, you can basically visit all the major cities and take all the popular tours.
