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

Honestly, you really should stop by Nha Trang. They have some fun night clubs and cafe areas. The beach is amazing and really relaxing.
I don’t know about the other answer- but when I visited family in Nha Trang on my way to Saigon… I’ve been told to be extremely careful around Saigon because people there will rip necklaces, pick pocket, etc, like it’s nothing because it’s pretty crowded over there.
During my trip to Nha Trang, I was pretty comfortable with where I was.
Regardless, you should be careful wherever you are in Vietnam.
Have fun and don’t waste time.. because it flies.
