Il be enjoying the nightlife (pubs and clubs) and maybe see a few sights.?
Thanks
Good night life, food, shopping and everything else in Saigon. Also a good place to stage from for The Mekong delta, Mui ne. and many other close tourist attractions. If you just want to stay in the city… 2 or three days. with time to explore around at least a week.
Nha Trang, Many people are avoiding Nha Trang these days due to its increasing crime, filth and the encroachment of large hotels right on the beach. However, the off shore islands have some of the best diving in the country and are pristine. I will leave it up to you on this one. I would not stop in Nha trang.
Danang has some good night life but is not a heavily touristed area. It is close to China Beach and Hoi An which many people consider their best stop in the country. Give Hoi an and danang at least 3 to 4 days and you will probably end up spending more time. Many do.
Hanoi is my favorite big city in country. the old quarter is charming and there are many parks and lakes etc. the night life is not as frenetic as Saigon but there is enough to keep you interested. Great food and proximity to Sapa and Halong Bay. a week maybe, but these things are difficult to quantify for other people. If you just want to party you can cut back on time. Hoi An is not a party town until the summer when the beach clubs open for some serious sun and fun.
Have fun. take your time. and good luck

Locate in the middle of Vietnam, Hoi An ancient town was considered as the world heritage by UNESCO.
During first century, with the name Lam Ap Pho (Champa city), it’s the largest harbour in Southeast Asia.
In 16th and 17th, when many Chinese, as well as Japanese, Dutch and Indian settled down, it’s call Hai Pho (Seaside town). However, as a result of mis-communication between a local habitant and a Spanish trader around 17th century, when he asked whether this place was Pho (town) and received the answer :”Phai! Pho” (Yes! Town).
Today, with its ancient and quiet style, Hoi An has attracted a fair number of national and international tourists. In Hoi An, just with some dollars, you can enjoy almost delicious and nutrition foods here. Coming to Hoi An, we can visit many art and craft shops, cafe shops and restaurants with the same characteristic as Hoi An along Thu Bon romantic river. At night, when the town was lighten by thousands of decorative multi-coloured lanterns, walking along short streets, dying in fresh and cool air from Thu Bon river, you will feel peaceful as you never do.

Hanoi (Vietnamese: Hà Nội, Hán Tự: 河内) pronunciation (help·info), estimated population 6.232.940 (2008) [1], is the capital and second-largest city of Vietnam. From 1010 until 1802, with a few brief interruptions, it was the political centre of an independent Vietnam. It was eclipsed by Huế during the Nguyen Dynasty as the capital of Vietnam, but Hanoi served as the capital of French Indochina from 1902 to 1954. From 1954 to 1976, it was the capital of North Vietnam.
The city is located on the right bank of the Red River. Hanoi is located at 21°2′N 105°51′E / 21.033°N 105.85°E / 21.033; 105.85Coordinates: 21°2′N 105°51′E / 21.033°N 105.85°E / 21.033; 105.85, 1760 km (1094 mi) north of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly called Saigon.
On May 29 2008, it was decided that Ha Tay province, Vinh Phuc’s Me Linh district and 4 communes of Luong Son district, Hoa Binh is merged into the metropolitan area of Hanoi from August 1 2008[2]. Hanoi’s total area increased to 334,470 hectares divided into 29 subdivisions[3] with the new population being 6,232,940[3]. The Hanoi Capital Region (Vietnamese: Vùng Thủ Đô Hà Nội), a metropolitan area covering Hanoi and 6 surrounding provinces under planning will have an area of 13,436 square kilometers with a population of 15 million by 2020[4]. October 2010 will officially mark 1000 years of the establishment of the city.
As the capital of Vietnam for almost a thousand years, Hanoi is considered to be the cultural centre of Vietnam, where every dynasty has left behind their imprint. Even though some relics have not survived through wars and time, the city still has many interesting cultural and historic monuments for visitors and residents alike. Even when the nation’s capital moved to Hue under the Nguyen dynasty in 1802, the city of Hanoi continued to flourish, especially after the French took control in 1888 and modeled the city’s architecture to their tastes, lending an important aesthetic to the city’s rich stylistic heritage. The city boasts more than 1,000 years of history, and that of the past few hundred years has been well preserved.[10]
Hanoi hosts more cultural sites than any city in Vietnam, including over 600 pagodas and temples.[11]
The Old Quarter, near Hoan Kiem lake, has the original street layout and architecture of old Hanoi. At the beginning of the 20th century the city consisted of only about 36 streets, most of which are now part of the old quarter. Each street then had merchants and households specialized in a particular trade, such as silk traders, jewellery, etc. The street names nowadays still reflect these specializations, although few of them remain exclusively in their original commerce. The area is famous for its small artisans and merchants, including many silk shops. Local cuisine specialties as well as several clubs and bars can be found here also. A night market (near Đồng Xuân market) in the heart of the district opens for business every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening with a variety of clothing, souvenirs and food.
Some others prominent places are: The Temple of Literature (Văn Miếu), site of the oldest university in Vietnam 1070; One Pillar Pagoda (Chùa Một Cột); Flag Tower of Hanoi (Cột cờ Hà Nội). In 2004, a massive part of the 900 year old citadel was discovered in central Hanoi, near the site of Ba Dinh square. [12]
A city between the rivers, built from lowland, Hanoi has many scenic lakes and sometime is called “city of lakes”. Among its lakes, the most famous are Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake, Halais Lake (Hồ Thiền Quang) in Vietnamese), and Bay Mau Lake. West Lake (Hồ Tây) is a popular place for people to spend time. It is the largest lake in Hanoi and there are many temples in the area. There are small boats for hire and a floating restaurant.
Under French rule, as an administrative centre for the French colony of Indochina, the French colonial architecture style became dominant, many examples remain today: the tree-lined boulevards (e.g. Phan Dinh Phung street), The Grand Opera House, The State Bank of Vietnam (formerly The Bank of Indochina), The Presidential Palace (formerly Place of The Governor-General of French Indochina), the cathédrale St-Joseph, and historic hotel Sofitel Metropole.
