Ho Chi Minh
It is a fascinating yet complicated city with a buzz only found in South East Asian city life.
Mekong Delta
Through Cambodia and Vietnam, this great waterway inextricably links the two countries, despite their strikingly diverse cultures.
Hanoi and Halong Bay
Two of Vietnam’s treasures, Hanoi the capital and Halong Bay, a sublime seascape of limestone pinnacles which protrude out of the water.
What to expect from Vietnam
Vietnam comprises five major regions, encompassing highlands, mountains, and river deltas. With over 1,800 miles of coastline, weather patterns vary significantly from north to south at different times of the year.
Undeniably, Vietnam is a bustling country, and deciding where to embrace the vibrancy and where to seek tranquility is integral to making the most of a holiday there. Vietnamese people live their lives outdoors, dining and socialising on the streets. In cities like Hanoi, we recommend immersing yourself in this lively culture. Elsewhere, we strive to highlight lesser-known regions where life unfolds at a slower, more peaceful pace, yet is no less beautiful.
