Places To See In Vietnam

Explore Hanoi

Hanoi is one of the best tourist attractions for Vietnam holidays. It is a busy city, bustling with activity, but if you stay for a week or two you will soon learn to appreciate it. Nearby Ha Long Bay and Sapa, and the Old District in Hanoi are some great places to check out. The famous Perfume Pagoda is also a must see.

Northeast Vietnam

Take a trip off the beaten track and visit regions like Cao Bang and Ha Giang. Most tourists never see these places. The average trip, taken on four wheeled vehicles, lasts about five days. To explore even wilder areas, add a couple of days to your journey.

Who’s Hue?

One of the ancient capitals of Vietnam is the city of Hue. Take the time to explore the temples in this area, some of them will simply take your breath away.

Hoi An

This city is very beautiful. You are sure to love wandering its pretty streets, or visiting the beach. It is also a great place to buy tailor-made clothes.

Submerge yourself in Nha Trang

Scuba diving is great in this region, with a number of amazing beaches around.

Slip into Saigon

Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh city as it is also known, is business central in Vietnam. It’s even wilder than Hanoi! But it also has plenty of sights and activities on offer.

Drift down the Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta will prove to be a unique experience as you drift along. Take a look at the floating markets as you go.

Phu Quoc Island - Leave the best for last

The island of Phu Quoc, which exists a little way south of Cambodia, is a tropical paradise. Crystal clear waters and endless beaches have not been spoiled by the rise in commercialism in the area.
