When choosing where to go in Vietnam, what you should realize is that the answer is pretty

much everywhere Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries on earth and is full of

destinations that will take your breath away

This list takes into account not only Vietnam’s incredible natural beauty but also its more rural side Some of the places on this list are well-known for being world-renowned and UNESCO protected Others are a little less known and are a must when choosing where to

go in Vietnam

I couldn’t mention all of the places to visit, otherwise this list would be never-ending These are my choices as the absolute best, when choosing where to go in Vietnam So without further ado, let’s get started!

Vietnam is full of dramatic destinations and delivers visual fireworks, sensory overloads and unique experiences wherever you travel; look out for intriguing urban adventures, striking landscapes and history at every turn The challenge is trying to fit in everything that you might want to do Use our Best of guide to Vietnam's Top Ten destinations to start to plan your perfect

itinerary

Vietnam is enjoying something of a renaissance and the youthful, enthusiastic population are engaging with the wider world Although still nominally communist and socially conservative, Vietnam is much more accessible Stable, secure, with a decent infrastructure and a large number

of boutique or stylish places to stay, the country, whose cuisine has already gone global, is set to announce itself on the world stage

So when will you go? And where will you head?

Hanoi

Immerse yourself in Hanoi Explore the Old Quarter, marvel at mist-covered lakes and fading

colonial facades and catch a glimpse of the city's centuries old traditions and heritage

Walk the warren of streets dedicated to a single trade; explore the Temple of Literature, see the Presidential Palace and pay your respects to Ho Chi Minh at his monolithic mausoleum Make

sure you stop to snack on delicious street food and sip crisp bia hoi, fresh beer brewed daily, at

shabby street corner bars as well

Trang 2

Ho Chi Minh City

Hotter, brasher and more in your face than Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as

Saigon, is the sort of place you have to hurl yourself into; embrace the swarming motorbikes, chaotic street scenes and jostling crowds at Ben Thanh Market to discover a wealth of history, some superb food and a pulsating nightlife that is unmistakably Vietnamese

For an insight into the war that ravaged the country, variously known as the Vietnam or

American War depending on who you talk to, visit the War Remnants Museum and take a trip out to the Cu Chi Tunnels at the end of the Ho Chi Minh Trail

Halong Bay Halong Bay's outrageous landscape of karst limestone peaks and aquamarine seas is one of

Vietnam's top tourist draws, and rightfully so With more than 2,000 different islands here

though, there's plenty of scenery to go round; book an overnight cruise and make the most of a misty early morning kayak paddle and explore hidden grottos and lagoons before sailing back Otherwise, weigh anchor at Cat Ba Island and explore the national park here For a quieter and less-developed alternative, head north to Bai Tu Long Bay

Sapa Ride the rails from Hanoi into the hills and ascend the Tonkinese Alps to Sapa in order to escape

the hurly burly of the capital and discover tranquil hill stations, sinuous ridges, rice paddies and colourful ethnic minority villages

Whilst here, climb Fansipan, Vietnam's highest peak and the Roof of Indochina, and peer

through the wreaths of cloud towards the Chinese border

Mai Chau Relaxing and remote, Mai Chau is a tranquil valley that's the perfect antidote to the bustle of

Vietnam's urban centres and the ideal place to experience northern Vietnam's rich rural culture Stay in traditional stilt houses, set out on foot to trek the countryside, cycle through rice paddies and fields or explore the traditional markets before learning how to cook like a local

Dalat Escape the lowland heat by climbing to Dalat, a French-era mountain retreat surrounded by

lakes and tea plantations in the central highlands Stay in grand colonial villas, cycle roller-coaster roads, try abseiling or canyoning, visit waterfalls or simply slow down for a while

Hoi An

Trang 3

Once Vietnam's most cosmopolitan port, Hoi An is considered the country's most attractive

town It still has a medieval air but now boasts a wealth of cosmopolitan restaurants, hip eateries, quirky boutiques and the country's best tailors too

Wander the labyrinthine old streets, tour the temples, dine well, get measured for a suit and then retreat to An Bang Beach

Hué Once the imperial capital of the country, Hué still has a charming character and atmospheric vibe

that can be soaked up as you relax on the banks of the Perfume River

Explore the impressive Hué Citadel, its temples, walled defences and residential areas, to get a sense of the city's grandeur and place in history, it was the cradle of Buddhism in Vietnam, before visiting some of the country's finest pagodas and royal tombs on the outskirts

Vietnam's Beaches Mui Ne

15 miles of beach close to Mui Ne stretch elegantly along this swathe of the coast Kick back here with spa treatments and sundowners or get your pulse racing with adrenaline activities such

as kite surfing and sandboarding

Nha Trang

Popular and boisterous, Nha Trang is Vietnam's party place With a good beach, large crowds and plenty to see and do, it's justifiably popular, whether you come for an adventure cruise, a visit to the local mud baths or a chance to see some ancient Cham towers

Phu Quoc

For the ultimate in escapism and laid-back chic though, travel to the outlying island of Phu Quoc Pause on the brilliant beaches backed by coconut palms, soak in the Gulf of Thailand, snorkel from unspoiled islets or set off on a motorbike to explore the quieter corners

Mekong Delta Board a river cruise and take to the watery avenues and canals of the Mekong Delta to

intimately discover the heart of the country and the traditional lives of its inhabitants; explore the marketplace at Can Tho, the Delta's largest city for a great insight into daily routines

Readily accessible from Ho Chi Minh City, it makes a great excursion and offers you an

alternative perspective as you wind through verdant jungle, fruit plantations and fishermen's shacks

Vietnam is often depicted as a place with steamy jungles and hot beaches, but country's climate

is quite diverse, with freezing temperatures and even snow in its northern highlands Vietnam has two distinct monsoon seasons The southwest monsoon brings in wet and humid weather while

Trang 4

the northeast monsoon delivers drizzly, colder temperatures to the north and dry weather to the south Northern Vietnam has four seasons: during its winter months December-February, it may dip down to 5-6°C occasionally, even below zero in mountainous areas The summer months of June and July are hot, with daytime temperatures reaching 35°C Drizzling rains and more pleasant temperatures come in autumn, August-November, and the spring, March-April Central Vietnam has warm temperatures year round, with the hottest months in middle of the year, and cooler, drier days from November to April Southern Vietnam has a dry season from November

to April and a wet season from May to October Overall, Vietnam enjoys a mild tropical or subtropical climate and aside from a few months a year in the high northern region you'll never need to worry about packing cold-weather gear But do bring an umbrella, especially if visiting from July to November, Vietnam's stormiest months

One of the most adventurous things to do in Vietnam was taking a tractor to the beach.

This is the exact location on Google Maps

No, I am not kidding This is exactly how Vietnam works!

They brought us to the beach through the Vietnamese dessert

We agreed they will pick us up again in 2 hours We were beaching for a bit, took amazing photos, enjoyed the ambiance There was also a small street food shop on the beach

Again, this is Vietnam This is the typical Vietnam experience when you leave the beaten path!

We stayed at the Hon Co Ca Na Resorts for $35 a night

From here we took our motorbikes along the coast line to the dunes again and then took the tractor

The resort is super cool as well You stay 5 meters away from the beach in huge rooms The food int he restaurant itself was also amazing

The guy working there became our close friend, we chatted always with him and he gave us amazing tips So, yeah, come over here!
