A day trip (about 2 hours each way) covers the highlights: the Trang An boat ride and Bai Dinh Pagoda or Hoa Lu. If you want to add Tam Coc, Mua Cave and cycling through the rice fields at a relaxed pace, stay one night.
Trang An is a UNESCO-listed complex with longer routes through several caves and temples. Tam Coc is shorter and famous for its rice fields, especially in late May and early June. Both are beautiful; our day tour includes Trang An.
Late May to early June for golden rice fields in Tam Coc, and September to November for mild, dry weather. Read our guide to the best time to visit Ninh Binh.
