The new Phú Thọ stretches from Tam Đảo to Mai Châu. Visitors often rent a Carnival to visit Hùng Temple, relax in Tam Đảo, or head to Lac Village in Mai Châu for the weekend.
Since 2025, Phú Thọ Province has included the former areas of Vĩnh Phúc and Hòa Bình, so Tam Đảo, Mai Châu, and Hùng Temple are now all in the same province.
Why rent a Carnival when traveling to Phú Thọ?
- Spacious: Available in 7- or 8-seat versions, comfortably carrying 5–6 passengers with luggage in practice.
- Electric sliding doors on both sides: Easy for older adults and young children to get in and out.
- Deep luggage compartment: Enough room for large suitcases, baby strollers, and sports equipment.
- Comfortable on long journeys: Suitable for interprovincial routes and mountain roads.
Airports, train stations, and how to get there
The province has no airport. Noi Bai is located near the former Vĩnh Phúc area, just about 30–40 km away.

Things to note when renting a car in Phú Thọ
- During the Hùng Kings' Commemoration Day (the 10th day of the third lunar month), the road to Hùng Temple is very crowded, so leave early or avoid the main festival day.
- The road to Tam Đảo has many bends, so a driver experienced in mountain roads is recommended.
- A trip to Mai Châu can be combined with Pù Luông (Thanh Hóa) on a 2–3-day itinerary.
