Day 3 — West Lake, car to Nội Bài at 12:00

Spend
₫350,000–650,000 (≈ US$14–25): pagodas free or about ₫10,000–20,000 (≈ under US$1), coffee ₫40,000 (≈ US$2), car to Nội Bài ₫250,000–400,000 (≈ US$10–16) per car

If it rains
Skip West Lake, take a lakeside café near the hotel and leave for Nội Bài 15 minutes earlier — rain slows the airport road.
