What is Vietnam known for?

Must-see landmarks

If you venture south, be sure to take in the sights and smells of Ho Chi Minh. This high-energy city will leave you buzzing after soaking up the temples and designer malls on offer, so relax with a cup of traditional Vietnamese coffee and immerse yourself in its street-side café culture. Move north and visit Hoi Ann, swelling with history and architecture, or Hue, a picturesque city steeped in charm, sitting comfortably on the Perfume River.

Although traditional Vietnmese music differs with the latitude, don’t go home before treating your ears to a few tunes, whether it’s at the theater or while you enjoy a bowl of bánh cuốn on the sidewalk – street food in Vietnam is without a doubt the home to fantastic flavor.

As small countries lying on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean and possessing naturally favorable conditions, Vietnam is the perfect choice for a retreat with many different kinds of attractions and tours. Especially, naturally blessed with over 4,000 islands, it is no surprise when Vietnam has become such a hit with tourists wishing to spend their vacation on an isolated and peaceful island. Clear crystal blue water, white smooth sand beaches, charming scenes together with unique local life create an irresistible appeal to every tourist coming to these islands at the first sight. This is really a great chance to relax or just simply spend quality time enjoying a new place together away from the bustle and hustle of modern life.

Flexibility is for sure in private tours as you are the planner and it is yours. Whatever you want, adding or deleting some places or activities is up to you. Tours can often be extended or booked for consecutive days with the very same guide if you are tired after long distances among the cities or just wish to explore the culture and new places. On the contrary, large group tours with many people have scheduled a fixed plan for that day, there is no much time to stop and take pictures or access closer to the local culture and people. In larger groups, you must follow the tour guide and even run to catch up with them, in order not to be lost. 

Flexibility, therefore, is the most favorable benefits of private tours - it all depends on what you want, just inform your tour guide if you want.

Vietnam is pretty famous for its coffee and you will find coffee shops on every corner of every street. What you might not have known is that there are also a lot of specialty coffees, such as this deliciously frothy egg white coffee which you can purchase in certain cafes in Hanoi. A real treat after a long day sightseeing! Head to the Giang cafe (39 Nguyen Huu Huan) and Dinh Café (13 Đinh Tiên Hoàng) if you want to try in while in Hanoi.

Egg coffee by Mr. Nguyen Giang was from the late 1940s when condensed milk was not as abundant as today. Egg coffee is a mix of the egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk, and Vietnamese coffee. The drink is made by beating egg yolks with sugar and coffee, then extracting the coffee into the half of the cup, followed by a similar amount of egg cream, which is prepared by heating and beating the yolks. The cup is served inside a bowl of hot water to retain its temperature. The marriage of the egg’s rich taste and aromatic coffee wafting through the air makes up a specific flavor.

They are capable of reaching 23 feet (7 meters) or more in length and weighing up to 200 pounds (90 kilograms) with a girth as big as a telephone pole. When young, they will spend much of their time in the trees. However, as they mature and their size and weight make tree climbing unwieldy, they transition to mainly ground-dwelling. Burmese pythons are solitary animals and are generally only seen together during spring mating. Females lay clutches of up to 100 eggs, which they incubate for two to three months. To keep their eggs warm, they continually contract, or shiver, their muscles.

16. Why you should choose Vietnam for your honeymoon vacation?

Gorgeous landscapes for luxury romantic escapes in vietnam .

Despite as a small country, Vietnam has become such a hit in Southeast Asia with tourists by hundreds and thousands of natural wonders, fantastic natural beauty, and cultural complexities, and dynamic megacities and hill-tribe villages. Each region impresses visitors by different landscapes ranging among the three most wonderful destinations in the North, the Middle and the South of Vietnam.

The ideal weather

Vietnam is divided into three regions with different climate and landscapes. The North in which you can visit Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Giang or Halong Bay experiences the most rainfall in their summer months between June to September. Meanwhile, Central Vietnam like Danang, Hoian and Hue, rainfall happens between October and November. Like the North, the South of Vietnam if you choose Ho Chi Minh City or Vung Tau, please pay attention to the highest rainfall in June, July, August, and September. 

In each time of year, you could make a visit to different provinces in a wonderful country with your children. In spring, you can book a trip to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City to enjoy thoroughly the traditional culture of locals when they are busy with preparation for Tet. There is nothing entertaining for children than observing cultural activities by naked eyes and having opportunities to take part in such meaningful events. 

Honest locals

Vietnamese people are very friendly and kind. Although they are sometimes quite conservative but still willing to help foreigners. They are eager to help you if you get lost or attentively show their cuisines, handicrafts or festivals if you wish to travel like a real local. Whoever you are, don’t worry, even it is your first time in Vietnam, the locals are eager to invite you to join them at their table with share snacks, attend their family meal or take part in festivals, or even just simply say hello to you in the street.

Various types of travel spots

Naturally blessed with diversified landscapes ranging from highlands, valleys, forests, national parks, temples to beaches, bays and islands, Vietnam is undoubtedly a great destination which enables travelers to enjoy different kinds of tourism. The irresistible appeal of the top tourist attractions in Vietnam such as Halong Bay , Moc Chau, Ba Na Hills, and Hoian has attracted millions of travelers each year. 

17. What to do in Mekong Delta?

Mekong Delta is covered with rivers and canals, so traveling by boat is the easiest and fastest way of transportation. If you have a chance to travel to Southern Vietnam, do not forget the floating market – the highlight of Southern Vietnam. Besides fruits orchards, yellow rice paddies, Southern folk songs, and special regional cuisine, the vibrant floating market is what comes on tourists’ mind when talking about Mekong Delta. 

Floating markets have long been an integral part of the lives of the locals in the Southwest from generation to generation. A floating market is a gathering place where the locals can buy their own products and fresh fruits or vegetables hanging on the poles while visitors can travel around to enjoy the locals’ life and buy something. Even you can find some floating bars, floating restaurants and the same kinds of shops as on the land.

Sitting on a boat and traveling around the market, visitors will be overwhelmed by hundreds of different boats packed with fresh and vivid colors of abundant fruits, poultry products, vegetables, seafood, handicraft goods, regional goods or aquatic products.  Therefore, it is always crowded with many retailers from small markets in nearby cities, they come here to get fresh goods at reasonable prices.

Stunning scenery, hospitable locals, the greenness and rural characteristics will definitely ease your mind from all everyday troubles and give you memorable moments.

Do not forget to pay a visit to Cai Be, Cai Rang, Tra On, and Nga Bay Floating Markets.

19. Weather in Vietnam?

Vietnam is divided into three regions with different climate and landscapes. As a tropical country, like other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam possesses two typical seasons: the dry and rainy season. For tourism, traveling in the dry season should be better to enjoy the sunny sky, warm blue seas, and exotic landscapes. 

Vietnam is divided into three regions with different climate and natural beauty. 

- The North in which you can visit Hanoi, Dien Bien, Mocha or Halong Bay, Ninh Binh and Hagiang experiences the most rainfall between June and September. 

- Central Vietnam like Danang, Hoian, and Hue, rainfall happens during the winter months including October and November. 

- Like the North, South Vietnam if you choose Ho Chi Minh City or Vung Tau, it is on their highest rainfall in June, July, August, and September. 

So if you want to spend your holiday in Vietnam in the most amazing weather to explore all sports and activities, avoid these months.

However, you can choose to visit Vietnam during monsoon months to not only save the costs but enjoy something interesting that the dry season cannot possess like lower crowds, cooler climate, no need for booking in advance. 

20. Highlights of Vietnam's Food & Cuisine

When coming to a country, not only the local people, places or experience but also the cuisine impresses tourists. Vietnam is no exception as well.

Northern Vietnam’s cuisine – delicate and sophisticated 

Northern cuisine is a bold statement of a long-standing culture. Coming to the rendezvous was the capital of many dynasties, and Hanoi was considered as the elite cuisine of the North with delicious dishes such as noodles, noodle soups, Bun Cha, Bun Bo, and special spices like Pho Cuon or Nem.

Northern cuisine is not dark, spicy, fatty and sweet like in other regions. It is tasteful, not too intense but colorful. They mainly use diluted fish sauce, shrimp paste, many vegetables and easy-to-make freshwater fish such as shrimp, crab, fish, clams, mussels etc. And in general, due to the ancient tradition of poor farming, Northern cuisine was less prevalent with the main ingredients being meat and fish.

Northerners prefer tasty food, focusing on the natural flavor of the ingredients and colors. They love eye-catching food to stimulate the taste buds. Besides, the northern dishes are also processed in a sophisticated way to highlight the appeal of each dish.

It is such a big pity if you forget Hanoi street food heaven and Northwest mountainous cuisine with Hanoi noodles, sticky rice noodles, spring rolls, fried shrimp, Ho Tay shrimp cake, Cha Cuon and many more. 

The Middle of Vietnam – sophisticated and spicy cuisine

The Middle cuisine impresses us by the beauty of an elegant land. The locals use spicier but less sweet flavors than the South. Especially Hue people, from the dishes for the common people or kings serve many dishes with spicy and especially the sour like tomato sauce or shrimp paste.

Due to its location, The Middle is not as fond of nature as other areas, so the people here always appreciate and turn their wonderful products into the flavor of food. They dedicate to the dishes and make the best ones. It's very personal, but once you enjoy it, it will be such a memorable taste.

Southern Vietnam - Bold and Diverse cuisine

Southern cuisine is simple and charming, not as sophisticated as the honest locals, and just like the simple way of life - the nature but the love of the people here.

Food in the South is very diverse because of the interference of many regions as well as many different ethnic groups. Southern people prefer the food to stimulate the taste, was sweet, must be sweet, has spicy, must be spicy, salty, must be salty, sour, must be sour, bitter, must be bitter.

Interestingly, when thinking about Southern food, tourists often remember amazing dishes with the flavor of coconut milk. Indeed, the food in the South is often accompanied coconut juice to create a more appealing taste. In addition, they also like to add pepper to their dishes to add flavor.

21. What are top special dishes for Vietnam Food Tours?

Bun Cha Hanoi (Grilled Pork & Noodles)

If Pho is Hanoi’s number one dish, then Bun Cha ranks easily number two when it is regarded as a Hanoi local food favorite, where grilled pork and rice noodles are the stars and fresh herbs, sliced papaya, red chili, and garlic are the supporting players. And you can add fried spring rolls to the mix to enjoy the dish in the most amazing way.

Cha Ca (Grilled & Fried Fish with Rice Noodles)

It is obvious that visitors will fall in love with the Hanoi food scene immediately just after tasting Cha Ca, the most unique food to try in this city. Cha Ca, a Northern Vietnamese specialty is created by pan-fried chunks of meaty, turmeric, dill, fatty skinned fish, peanuts, shrimp paste, and rice noodles and other fresh ingredients. 

Pho (Noodle Soup)

This is the most popular dish in Hanoi as travelers love it for the savory broth and slow-cooked meat, both beef and chicken, and just around $2 US. I really like its condiments, especially the small but potent red peppers and freshly made rice noodles. Let’s try it, it is actually a cheap bowl of soup with ultra-fresh ingredients and slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth slices of beef or chicken.

Banh mi 

There is a banh mi stand on almost every corner of Vietnam, from the big & modern cities like Hanoi, Saigon, Hoi An to the small towns of which names you haven't ever heard about. A typical Vietnamese banh mi is made from meat, vegetables from native Vietnamese traditional cuisines such as cha lua (pork sausage), grilled pork,  cucumber, pickled carrots, and pickled daikon combined with Chinese char siu (barbecued pork) and condiments from French cuisine such as pâté, along with chili and mayonnaise. If you do not like pork, you can choose beef, chicken or even Grilled chopped fish. Eating banh mi is really part of the culture - it's passion and fashion and a part of daily lives. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, fast snack.. there is no right time for eating banh mi. 

Ninh Binh goat meat

The goat meat is popular everywhere, but tourists are often served with braised goat meat. Ninh Binh’s goat meat taste is better than other regions for two main reasons: Ninh Binh has many limestone mountains for raising goats so the meat is fresh and firm. 

Also to have a good rare goat meat dish, the locals have to perform several steps from the processing procedure to the mixture procedure like fresh meat and crispy served with precious fine herbs which are all good for health. They are ginger, chilly, lemon, seasoning powder, or citronella and all these ingredients and spices are well-mixed with goat meat. That is why this dish is nutritious and delicious.

As Ninh Binh seems to be a tourism city, visitors can try this dish in many restaurants at different prices, from luxurious to reasonable ones.

22. Most famous drinks for your amazing Vietanam gastronomy tours?

Vietnam is pretty famous for its coffee and you will find coffee shops on every corner of every street. What you might not have known is that there are also a lot of specialty coffees, such as this deliciously frothy egg white coffee which you can purchase in certain cafes in Hanoi. A real treat after a long day sightseeing! Head to the Giang cafe (39 Nguyen Huu Huan) and Dinh Café (13 Đinh Tiên Hoàng) if you want to try it while in Hanoi.

Egg coffee by Mr. Nguyen Giang was from the late 1940s when condensed milk was not as abundant as today. Egg coffee is a mix of the egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk and Robusta coffee. The drink is made by beating egg yolks with sugar and coffee, then extracting the coffee into the half of the cup, followed by a similar amount of egg cream, which is prepared by heating and beating the yolks. The cup is served inside a bowl of hot water to retain its temperature. The marriage of the egg’s rich taste and aromatic coffee wafting through the air makes up the specific flavor. Let's wander and enjoy Hanoi in another taste.

Ta Hien and Bui Vien are normally called "Pho Tay".

On Old Quarter of Hanoi, and near Hoan Kiem Lake, Ta Hien has been a famous spot for tourists, especially for foreigners. Moreover, you can explore the street food heaven in Vietnam.

Ta Hien is in Hanoi, what about Bui Vien? Bui Vien is the most interesting night street in Ho Chi Minh city. It is quite similar to Ta Hien, but it is much more vibrant, sounding and complicated as well. 

Wine of the locals (ethnic minorities)

With 54 ethnic minorities, Vietnam cuisines will never disappoint you. Each tribal group will surprise you with different unique food and drink. 

What about wine? Yes, when talking about Wine sticky, Vietnamese people will definitely think about this specialty of Kim Son province. It is made from the seeds of the sticky yellow flowers in the rural area in the Red River. Under the skilled hand of the locals, combined with natural water, the wine has a different taste and easy to recognize. 

But the most special drink that you should not miss is the local wine in mountainous areas. Why is it special? - As it is made from rice or corn. 

In Ha Giang, Thanh Van capital where corn wine is very famous, the Mong family cooking wine and to sell at fairs flooded. Thanh Van corn wine should be a unique creation by two factors are water and enamel. Source water cooking wine taken from water high over 1000m above the sea level. The flow of water from the mountain Vietnam-China border runs through a lot of rocks to Thanh Van, fresh and cold water about 15 degrees combined with excellent enamel create unique wines. Making alcohol through many stages and processes that give the wine a delicious corn so captivating.

23. Highlight of Vietnamese Culture

With over 4000 years of history with ups and downs, Vietnam attracts foreigners not only by amazing landscapes but also its unique culture. So what to see?

Central Highlands - the mysterious land

As its name indicates, Central Highlands is located in the Middle of Vietnam, of which more than 95% is mountainous terrain. If you are a mountain-lover, it would be a big regret if you travel to Vietnam but do not pay a visit to this beautiful region. 

The mountains seem to dominate the horizon whatever directions we look. They look like huge green dinosaurs which had laid down for a nap and would never wake up. Taking a deeper discovery into the jungle, you will be amazed by its scenic beauty with different types of trees and flowers and the marvelous waterfalls. 

The Central Highlands is also famous for their high-valued cultures. The ethnic people here still well maintain its traditional lifestyle as well as cultural activities. The houses on stilts, heroic epics and the Space of Gong are what appear on our minds when talking about this area. Matriarchal society can be seen in some groups such as Ede and Mnong. Especially, the traditional music of the ethnic people, with unique musical instruments such as T’rung and Klong Put, is undoubtedly a huge appeal of Central Highlands in particular and Vietnam in general. Thanks to its high cultural value, Gong Culture has been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. 

Hue – a historic and dreamy land

Located along the banks of the Huong River, Hue, the regional economic, cultural, touristic, scientific, specialized health, education and training hub of central Viet Nam is an attractive destination. 

Hue is famous for its temples, bastions, mausoleums, architecture, and natural landscapes mostly covered by a layer of green moss, which creates a relaxing sensation. The most noticeable place is Hue Citadel. Situated on the northern bank of the Huong River, Hue Citadel was built on a surface area of more than 500 ha, including the Hoang Thanh and Tu Cam Thanh Citadel. It was the administrative center of the Nguyen dynasty and served as the living quarters of the Emperor and the Royal Family. The Citadel belongs to the old Imperial Capital of Hue, recognized 

by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site in 1993.

That traveling, while trying on new activities and finding less classic routes is just what makes the magic of a personalized trip. Whether it's about cultural tours, cruises, day trips or adventure activities, all day trips and excursions in Vietnam will unveil new aspects of the Vietnamese culture and its natural charms to you.

You can find several types of day trips from Hanoi such as day trips to the Perfume Pagoda , as well as excursions to artisan villages, or planning a day trip to the Van Long Nature Reserve, known for its canals, lakes, streams and limestone mountains.

In other regions of Vietnam in the center or in the south, the best excursions leave from Danang to the incredible Phong Nha National Park and its caves or, from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta and its picturesque little towns.

Bicycle Excursion

If you're keen on riding a bicycle, in Vietnam you will be thrilled because there are several places that give you the opportunity to bicycle around to enjoy the scenery at your own pace. Near Ninh Binh, in Tam Coc or Trang An, you can take a ride through the extraordinary Thung Nham valley. It is also possible to ride a bike through the Mekong Delta, where you will get closer to the everyday life around the Delta. And when in Hue, try on the village of Thuy Bieu to unveil the Vietnamese fisherman and farmer's best-kept secrets.

Trekking Experiences

You can choose different excursions in Vietnam that can result in a short or a long walk. Trekking excursions are usually done in the area of the mountains in Sapa, or Mai Chau valley and Ninh Binh between the rice fields and mountains. Choose your pace and get going for a thrill-seeking trail or a more soft adventure.

Gourmet Tours/Culinary Tour 

You can find among the gourmet tours in Vietnam, cooking classes in the major cities of Hanoi, Hoi An, or Hue, and choose to do it where you will stay longer. The activity usually consists of going to the market to buy the ingredients, get familiar with the most delicious recipes and then taste your own cooked meal. Be sure to take some time for this kind of activity because it is really fun and... tasty!

Vietnam Luxury Boat Tour in Halong Bay or in Nha Trang

Halong Bay - one of the 7 wonders of the world is undoubtedly THE must-see excursion. We also recommend that you try a tour in Nha Trang Bay. Did you know that it is one of the 29 most beautiful bays in the world?

26. What to pack for luxury Vietnam Tours?

Vietnam is generally a casual country by western standards although people do like to dress in their Sunday best whenever the opportunity arises therefore simple and casual clothes are appropriate for almost any occasion. The year-round heat and humidity in the south, especially Ho Chi Minh City, make lightweight quick-dry clothing the most appropriate. The north and central highlands get cool enough for sweaters or light jackets for much of the year but the northern highlands will require cold weather clothes in the winter. If you are not participating in any trekking tours, sandals and lightweight shoes are sufficient. If trekking is included in your itinerary you will need trekking boots.   

27. How to get to and away Vietnam?

Ho Chi Minh City's (Saigon) Tan Son Nhat Airport is Vietnam 's busiest international air hub, followed by Hanoi 's Noi Bai Airpot. A few international flights also serve new Danang International Airport, Phu Quoc International airport. 

Singapore, Hongkong and Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur have emerged as the principle embarkation points for Vietnam but it's still possible to get direct flights from a number of major Asian and European cities and a few American and Australian cities. 

There are currently six major international border crossings for travellers coming to Vietnam, but more may open soon. All crossing points suffer from heavy policing and often requests for 'immigration fees'.

For getting to/ from China, it's become very popular to cross the border at Friendship Pass or Dong Dang, 20km (12mi) north of Lang Son in northeast Vietnam , to get to/from Namning. There is a twice-weekly international train between Beijing and Hanoi that stops at Friendship Pass. The other popular border crossing with China is at Lao Cai (near Sapa) in northwest Vietnam, which lies on the railway line between Hanoi and Kunming in China 's Yunnan Province. There's also a seldom used crossing at Mong Cai, Quang Ninh Province.

It's possible to enter Laos from Lao Bao in north-central Vietnam; there's an international bus from Danang to Savannakhet ( Laos ). The other crossing is at Keo Nua Pass/Cau Treo, west of Vinh or Tay Trang in Dien Bien Phu in the mountainous North Vietnam.  

Travellers can cross to Cambodia is via Moc Bai; an international bus links Phnom Penh with Ho Chi Minh City or take a speed boat from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh.   

28. Do’s and Don't in Vietnam

With many different kinds of travel spots and especially safety, Vietnam is a perfect choice for a family holiday. However, there is something that you should pay attention to in order to have the most comfortable trip. 

+ Dress discreetly in public  

Dress conservatively, especially for female travelers and children. The Vietnamese are quite conservative about their clothes, and it would be disrespectful to wear skimpy clothing in public. Dress appropriately not only to feel free to enjoy your trip, but more importantly to show your respect to others and especially in sacred places like pagodas and temples.

+ Be careful when crossing the roads

Traffic jam is one of the most terrific things that frighten foreigners first time coming to Vietnam. Riding bikes or motorbikes will be such an unforgettable experience. But the story will be more interesting when you try to cross the roads in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city. Don’t stop as you cross the busy roads. Frightening as it can be, just keep walking. The traffic will avoid you. Pick a spot across the road, stare at it and keep walking, no matter what. 

+ Make a bargain

Overcharging is also one of the most alarming problems of foreigners first time traveling to Vietnam as locals always think that foreigners are rich. However, this issue affects considerably the image of Vietnamese people on tourists' eye when they read reviews on the Internet. Therefore, remember to make bargain whatever you buy, please read the reviews carefully to consult the prices, or just contact us for local tips and tricks at Luxury Travel .

- Don'ts:

+ Wear a lot of jewelry or show valuables in public, especially when in Ho Chi Minh City .

When walking on streets in Vietnam, especially big cities like Ho Chi Minh City, if you wear a lot of jewelry like rings or even make a phone call, you will be a target for pickpockets or robbers. Also when you can't speak Vietnamese, it will be such a challenge to ask people surrounding you to help you.

+ Express the affection of lovers in public. 

Western culture encourages or allows people to be free to show their love or affection. By contrast, it is impolite in Eastern culture countries, like in Vietnam.  You can see couples holding hands, but they will not kiss when many people can see that. Thus, avoid kissing your friends or lovers in front of other people at public places.

+ Give money to the beggars on the street or tourist attractions.  

Actually beggars are sometimes not beggars. There is another way you can help people in difficult circumstances like donating to the charity. Children are exploited to earn money to groups of people. So be aware of that.

There are a lot of things you should and shouldn't do when coming to Vietnam, but don't worry, if you have any query or need local help, please feel free to call us at Luxury Travel to have an affordable, safe and local journey.

Top things to do

Vietnamese street food is the best.

Great food makes people happy. Surely, you will have the happiest moment when traveling to Vietnam where you cannot escape from the heaven of street food: banh mi, Vietnamese pho, Vietnamese hot pots,...

Explore the ethnic minorities in the North of Vietnam

The area that surrounds Sapa unquestionably offers tranquility and beauty if that is what you're seeking. The deep valleys in the region offer some of the nation's most breathtaking rural vistas and several ethnic minorities presented in Vietnam, including the Red Dzao, Giay, and Hmong people. Also, you cannot miss out on conquering Fansipan Mountain, 'the Roof of Indochina'. 

Be indulged in the natural beauty of UNESCO World Heritage

Halong Bay undoubtedly becomes one of the most unique places to visit in Vietnam. Thousands of thick limestone are layered side by side, creating a stunningly unique view while you are sailing on the well-known Halong Bay.

Roam around and explore the 1000-year-culture city 

Hanoi is famous for the food, the busy streets, and the hospitable people. And of course, don’t forget to take a deeper look into the historical sites in Hanoi with the day tour around this bustling city.

Stop by the worth-living city named Da Nang 

Danang - once an indigent area is transforming so quickly. Now, in this city, you can take advantage of both the romantic beaches and a variety of world-class luxury resorts in Vietnam. 

Unlock the hidden charm of Hoi An

As the homeland of lanterns in all different colors and sizes, Hoi An sightseeing is not only renowned for its unique and intact architecture of temples, and pagodas but also for its tranquil rural Vietnamese sceneries. Several untouched communities that still retain their traditional beauty are waiting for you to discover.

Visit the old capital of Vietnam

Hue is known for its dreamlike scenery, which is a result of a variety of internationally renowned structures spread around its former capital, as well as its long history and culture. Taking a Hue walking tour to admire wonderful landscapes influenced by the Perfume River's beautiful curve is a must-activity that will make you fall in love with the serene vibe of the city.

Discover the 2-sided story of Dalat

Dalat can be gentle but also vigorous at the same time. Which one will you choose: enjoy a cup of coffee with a hill view or get ready for a wet and wild adventure such as white water rafting?

Try seafood in Nha Trang

Already famous for beautiful beaches and luxury resorts in Vietnam, you cannot miss Nha Trang for its wonderful variation of seafood. And guess what? It is ridiculously inexpensive.

Enjoy a sleepless night in Ho Chi Minh City

Different from the North, the lifestyle of the center of Southern Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City  is more “Western”. Take a Saigon bus tour to watch over the top attraction of the city in the morning but when the sun goes down, you are invited to crazy night parties and have so much fun.

Get closer to local life in Mekong Delta

Mekong Delta is where the famous Mekong River finds its way to the sea. It is one of the most fascinating regions for travelers to discover, which includes chaotic floating markets, authentic local life, paddy field mangroves, and wonderful vistas. It is just simply beautiful.

A true definition of the premium beach vacation

Phu Quoc is blessed with remarkable beauty, including some of Southeast Asia's most magnificent white-sand beaches, a deep blue sea, and a clear sky, as well as a tropical climate virtually the entire year. These features make the island the ideal destination for a beach vacation. Dive, snorkel, explore pristine woods on foot, stop in at charming fishing villages, or simply unwind on the private beaches of one of Phu Quoc's luxury resorts.

Vietnam Tours & Vacations

Vietnamese food is where it’s at.

Wherever we travel, it’s the flavors we remember best. A crusty bánh mì or streetside pho, seafood cù lao hotpots and (scarily addictive) coffee with condensed milk. Vietnam tours are tasty, plain and simple. We won’t just drop you in Halong Bay and call it a day. Our local leaders will introduce you to rice farmers in Sapa and fishermen on the Mekong Delta. They’ll guide you through the Cu Chi Tunnels, take you to the best beaches and on a street food crawl through Ho Chi Minh City. Our stomach’s rumbling already...

Learn more about Vietnam

History and government, early history.

Vietnam has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological finds suggest that structured societies existed as early as the 1st millennium BC. Early society was mostly feudal and agriculture-based, with various dynasties overseeing different parts of Vietnam until the Chinese invasion of 111 BC, which saw the societies of Vietnam and China intertwined. Various Chinese dynasties dominated the area for hundreds of years, although revolts finally led to Vietnam gaining self-autonomy in 905. By 938, this period of Chinese imperial domination came to a close and Vietnam entered into an age of independence.

Recent history

During the 19th century, Vietnam came under the influence of French colonizers, who assumed control of Vietnam after the Sino-French War of 1884 and 1885. French Indochina was formed in 1887, and included parts of Vietnam, Cambodia and, later on, Laos. Although the French managed to suppress internal movements towards independence for many years, their control was finally relinquished in 1954 when Vietnamese forces overcame the French during the first Indochina War. Following this war, Vietnam was divided, with separate forces ruling the north (led by Ho Chi Minh) and the south (led by Ngo Dinh Diem, with support from the United States). 

The second Indochina War created wide-scale devastation and turmoil for the people of Vietnam, leading to mass migration to other parts of the world as asylum seekers tried to escape the conflict. More recently, Vietnam has benefited from the free market economy set up in 1986. Vietnam's economy continues to expand, with agriculture and industry providing the backbone and the tourism sector also contributing. Although many Vietnamese people live below the poverty line, there have been widespread improvements in literacy and health, which hopefully will continue to improve.

Geography and environment

Occupying a long, thin part of the Indochinese peninsula, Vietnam shares borders with China , Laos and Cambodia . Much of Vietnam's terrain is mountainous, particularly the north and central highland regions. Although people still choose to live in the densely forested highland regions, most of Vietnam's population is concentrated in the cities of the low-lying areas, where infrastructure is more easily built and the land is fertile. One of the 12 great rivers of the world, the Mekong, runs through Vietnam and has been responsible for wide-scale flooding. A system of canals and levees has been quite successful in redistributing the water during monsoons, and has helped to alleviate flooding in the Mekong Delta and surrounding areas.

Vietnam has a nice mix of interesting markets and small shops, with handicrafts, art and clothing among the best picks.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.

Things to buy in Vietnam

1. Tailored clothing

Hoi An is one of the best places in the world to get tailor-made clothing at a great price. Find a tailor, choose your fabric, get measured and return later to collect your custom-made fashion.

2. Hilltribe handicrafts

Some of Vietnam's hilltribe people make excellent woven bags, clothing and jewelry which make meaningful souvenirs for friends back home.

As one of the world's largest coffee exporters, Vietnamese coffee is among the world's best. If you’re a coffee fan, why not take a little taste of Vietnam home with you.

4. Lacquerware

The time-consuming, intensive process of creating Vietnamese lacquer art results in a beautiful, smooth and polished finish that adorns everything from bowls to paintings and jewelry boxes. While not the cheapest of souvenirs, authentic lacquer art is worth spending a bit more on.

Culture and customs

Vietnam's ancient culture can be traced back centuries and over the years has been influenced in different ways by the Chinese, Khmer, French and American cultures. For most Vietnamese people, connection to family and community is paramount - whether they are from rural villages or living in fast-paced cities.

Most festivals and holidays are spent with the extended family - participating in rituals, feasting on special foods, giving symbolic gifts and paying respects to ancestors. Most Vietnamese people practice a form of religion that is an interesting mix of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, although there are also a large number of practising Catholics living in Vietnam.

Having endured the hardship that the Vietnam War brought in the 1960s and 1970s, most Vietnamese people are keen to get on with life, living with a sense of optimism and humility.

Some of the best things to eat in Vietnam are noodle soups (pho, bun mam, bun bo hue), bread rolls (banh mi), savory pancakes (banh xeo) and fresh tropical fruits. 

What are the best things to drink in Vietnam?

Our list of best things to drink in Vietnam includes ice coffee, fruit smoothies, fresh coconut juice straight from a freshly cracked green coconut, sugar cane juice, local beers and artisan rice wine.

What to wear in Vietnam?

While the tropical climate lends itself to layered, breathable clothing all year round, if you are taking a tour in the North, cold winters mean you might need to bring a fleece or jacket.

What kinds of transport will I be using in Vietnam?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun. Depending on which trip you're on while in Vietnam, you may find yourself traveling by:

• Overnight sleeper train

Traveling aboard an overnight sleeper train is a fun way to journey through Vietnam. Interact with other passengers or sit by a window and watch the world go by.

Curious? Click here read more about what to expect on an overnight train.

Take time to wave to locals as you cycle at a leisurely pace past rice paddies and through simple villages in rural Vietnam

These 3 wheeled vehicles are a great way to zip around the sights.

What kinds of accommodation will I have in Vietnam?

Traveling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavor to provide travelers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.  When traveling with us in Vietnam you may find yourself staying in a:

• Overnight boat

Sleeping aboard a boat on Halong Bay is a quintessential Vietnamese experience to be savored. Slip into relaxation mode as you take in stunning views of the surrounding limestone karst scenery.

Get acquainted with the Vietnamese way of life while on a memorable home stay. Be exposed to new languages, cuisine and customs while making friends with your hosts and neighbors.

Is Vietnam a LGBTQIA+ friendly destination?

The LGBQTIA+ community is gradually gaining recognition in Vietnam, with gay pride parades becoming a regular occurrence and a lift on same-sex marriage bans in 2015. With that said, Vietnam is still a conservative culture and many still hide their sexuality from their families. Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi have some gay-friendly bars and events. It's generally recommended that both gay and straight couples resist showing public displays of affection.  

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

Does my trip to Vietnam support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Vietnam directly support our foundation partners, Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, Vun Art and WildAct.

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Blue Dragon Children's Foundation Blue Dragon Children's Foundation is helping disadvantaged youth in Vietnam, fighting the causes of human trafficking and (where possible) reuniting homeless or trafficked children with their families. Donations from our trips help their team of social workers, psychologists, teachers, and lawyers to offer individualized support to every child rescued.

Vun Art Vun Art empowers people with disabilities in Vietnam through vocational training and employment opportunities. They teach traditional folk painting using recycled materials which provides job opportunities, helps to preserve the ancient artform and cares for the local environment all at once. Donations from our trips support Vun Art's capacity-building programs for people with disabilities, including trainees' allowance, transportation, and equipment.  

WildAct protects migratory birds of Vietnam and reduces illegal hunting by educating local communities about the importance of conservation. Donations from our trips help WildAct run educational programs to stop the illegal hunting of threatened migratory birds through knowledge-sharing in local communities.  

Is Vietnam accessible for travellers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Despite having a high population of people with disabilities, accessible infrastructure and facilities are still limited in Vietnam. Chaotic traffic and pavements blocked by parked motorbikes and street stalls, uneven footpaths and high curbs add to the challenges of getting around for travelers with mobility or vision disabilities. Most entrances to hotels, shops, restaurants and tourist sites will have steps and many doorways will not be able to accommodate wheelchairs wider than 60cm. Some sights and destinations will not be fully accessible (ie. Ha Long Bay boats, Cu Chi Tunnels) but other places such as Hoi An are flat and much more wheelchair-friendly. There are likely to be situations where travelers with disabilities may need to rely on local people to help. Taxis are readily available and an affordable way to get around for travelers who are not confident in exploring independently on foot.

Vietnam’s fast ascent to must-visit travel destination has brought its travel services and facilities into the 21 st century. All kinds of tours are now available throughout the country, fitting every budget in a bid for Vietnam to reach its true potential in the travel market. With this comes its foray into the high-end, available across our range of luxury Vietnam tour packages .

Although it is true that Vietnam is a country for everyone, there are still hidden corners where luxury access opens exclusive doors. This is most obvious in Halong Bay, the country’s number 1 destination and a hive for sophisticated cruises of the highest class. 5-star and 6-star cruises here have quickly found favour amongst those seeking luxury travel in Vietnam, who duly find it across elegant cabins, private balconies, personal bathtubs and a range of top-quality facilities. Such luxury cruises usually focus on taking you away from the tourists and into the true, authentic beauty of Halong Bay.

Of course, no luxury Vietnam tour would be complete without some serious beach time. Vietnam has this covered along 3,000km of coastline, where some of the best beaches in Southeast Asia can be found in their natural, pristine beauty. At Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang and Mui Ne, luxury-seeking visitors can find everything they need and more across 5-star beach resorts, many of which have access to a private stretch of golden sand and a constant view over a shimmering sea.

While transport around Vietnam is still finding its feet, our high-end Vietnam vacation packages do away with the hassle and get you to your destination in swiftness and style. Private transport options are available for many of our destinations and trusted, experienced drivers are a given across the board.

The true essence of Vietnam as a luxury destination is in its nature. Tours focus on your privacy in the rural areas of the country, capturing Vietnam’s special scenery and providing a small segment just for you alone. Memories of Vietnam’s rice paddies, mountains and jungle are long-lasting, but memories of your private time in each are eternal.

Where to go

Hanoi is a bustling and fascinating place – a whirlwind of colours, smells and sounds and a wonderful place to get a real flavour of life in Vietnam.

Over 2,000 limestone islets and plinths rise out from the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin to make up the exquisite Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hue sits on the banks of the Perfume River and is another of Vietnam’s safeguarded heritage sites under UNESCO and an interesting blend of old and new.

With its pretty architecture and beguiling riverside setting packed into its neat size, Hoi An is small enough to stroll around and soak up its rich wealth of heritage.

Spanning 4,350 kilometres, the Mekong River is the lifeblood to innumerable communities across Asia. From its icy beginning on the Tibetan Plateau, the river then winds through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia before breaking into Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.

Ho Chi Minh

A booming economy has given Ho Chi Minh city (often still referred to as Saigon) a new energy and lease of life. Socially the city is flourishing with a sophisticated café culture, an exciting dining scene and burgeoning interest in eclectic art.

Limestone outcrops blanketed in lush vegetation rise up from the still, jade coloured water. Your boat glides smoothly across the glassy surface, the shapes and shadows of the islets changing as you navigate this watery paradise. This is La Ha Bay, the smaller, quieter and altogether more serene neighbour of Halong Bay.

Danang is central Vietnam‘s largest city, an important port sat at the half way point between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

An archipelago of 16 islands located off the south coast of Vietnam in the tranquil waters of the South China Sea, Con Dao is a tropical paradise of stunning natural beauty which spells adventure, relaxation and lazy sun-filled days.

A sleepy palm fringed island a short flight from Saigon, Phu Quoc is an idyllic retreat after exploring the highlights of Vietnam.

The Nha Trang area is home to some of Vietnam‘s best luxury beach escapes, set in hidden coves well away from the vibrant town itself.

Escape the heat of Hanoi as you travel through breath-taking rice terraces to the former French hill station and current trekking haven of Sapa.

The Northern Highlands

Rarely visited and sometimes not even accessible, Vietnam‘s cool Northern Highlands is a rural medley of diverse hill tribes, deep valleys and soaring mountains.

Ninh Binh and Tam Coc

Rather than a destination in its own right, Ninh Binh is an excellent location from which to explore the breathtaking and quintessentially Vietnamese countryside that surrounds it.

With its cooler climate and French colonial feel, you’ll find the charming city of Dalat to be uniquely different from the rest of Vietnam. Known as “The City of Eternal Spring”, Dalat boasts a very temperate climate and its surrounding green countryside is blessed with lakes, waterfalls, evergreen forests and gardens.

The buzzing cultural and commercial centre of the Mekong Delta, Can Tho sits on the southern bank of the Hua River, one of the Mekong’s main distributaries as it flows out past endless paddy fields into the South China Sea.

Meet your Asia team

When to visit

Vietnam is warm year-round. There are two monsoon seasons which hit the south, central and northern parts of the country at different times. In general the start of the year is the best time to go.

• Share to Linkedin

You’ve played some of the best golf courses in the United States . Now, you’re looking to pack your clubs, rally some friends, and hit the links on an international golf trip. But which parts of the world boast the best collection of golf courses?

Top Golf Destinations

From Latin America to the South Pacific — and, of course, Scotland — here’s a list of seven international destinations perfect for a golf trip.

1. Scotland: The Birthplace of Golf

The famous Swilcan bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course links in St Andrews, Scotland. Many ... [+] famous golfers have traditionally posed for photographs on this bridge at the end of their tournament rounds, thanking the crowds for their support. The Royal & Ancient clubhouse can be seen towards the left of the background.

The Scottish seaside town of St. Andrews is known around the world as the birthplace of golf, and the iconic Old Course headlines most golfers’ bucket lists. Book a stay at the golf-inspired Rusacks St Andrews , where rooms come with views of the hallowed turf.

Even if you can’t score a tee time at the Old Course, there’s plenty more courses beckoning. In fact, Scotland has more golf courses per person than anywhere else in the world. From the links of Fife to courses along the dunes of Aberdeenshire’s coast, the country has more than 550 courses.

Scotland’s weather is known to fluctuate, but the golf season is typically April to September.

2. Ireland: A Links Paradise

Your best look yet at the new iphone 16, imessage s lock on america is this really the beginning of the end, arrowhead tells helldivers 2 players to change reviews to negative over psn linking.

Adare Manor in Ireland.

Ireland is nicknamed the “green of dreams” and the island is home to more than 400 golf clubs. A third of the world’s natural links courses are here, and more than 240,000 golfers make the pilgrimage to Ireland each year to play on the unforgiving fairways.

In County Limerick, Adare Manor is a coveted stay for golfers. The championship golf course designed by golf architect Tom Fazio will host the 2027 Ryder cup.

While most courses are open all year round, the best time for Ireland golf trips is from April to October. In peak summer, it stays light out until 10 p.m., which means you can play a couple of rounds and make the most of your golf vacation.

3. Fiji: Luxury Private Island Greens

Denaru Golf & Racquet Club

Fiji is a draw for all types of vacationers, from honeymooners to scuba divers. But it’s also a golfer’s paradise in the South Pacific, with more than a dozen courses scattered across the islands and stunning fairways lined with palm trees.

For those coming for golf, Viti Levu, the main island, is home to three championship courses: Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, which is located at the InterContinental Resort and comes with Pacific Ocean views, Denarau Golf & Racquet Club, and The Pearl South Pacific Golf Course.

Fun fact: The country has even produced one of the world’s top golfers, Vijay Singh, who fell in love with the game at the Nadi Airport Golf Course.

4. New Zealand: Dramatic Scenery

Te Arai Links in Tomarata, New Zealand

In New Zealand, golf is the sport with the highest participation among both men and women. The country has more than 400 golf courses, and the dramatic landscapes — from craggy, isolated coastlines tracing the greens to soaring mountains in the alpine areas — make it one of the most idyllic destinations for golfers.

Renowned architect Tom Doak has said “no country has seen its golf courses improve more over the past 20 years than New Zealand.” One of his famous New Zealand courses is Cape Kidnappers, which is perched above the ocean on clifftops, and built on ridge-and-valley landscape.

A 90 minute drive from Auckland (or 25 minutes via helicopter), Te Arai Links , which has two links golf courses along the coastline is also a sought-after destination. One course was designed by Doak, and the other is from Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. In between tee times, the area is known for its surf breaks and lively nearby market towns, Mangawhai and Matakana, as well as its vineyards and olive groves.

October through April is considered high season, and golfers will pay less the other times of year.

5. Mexico: Mountain, Desert And Ocean Landscapes

Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto

Los Cabos and the Baja Peninsula have long dominated as one of the best golf destinations in not just Latin America, but the world, thanks to its mountain-desert-ocean landscape, gentle sea breezes, and a collection of cacti-studded courses designed by some of the world’s greatest golf architects, like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

In Loreto, which is on the Eastern coast of Baja California Peninsula, golfers can tee off in a UNESCO World Heritage site when they play a round at Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto by Danzante Bay, which overlooks the turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortez. Travelers can book packages Unlimited Golf or Spa that comes with unlimited rounds for three days.

Golf continues to grow and get better throughout Mexico, with more than 200 courses to play. Beyond the Baja Peninsula, some other top golf spots in Mexico include the courses dotting the Pacific Coastline and in the Riviera Maya, like El Camaleón, an 18-hole, Greg Norman-designed course that moves through tropical jungle, mangroves, and past freshwater canals. It’s also the first PGA Tour Course in Latin America.

6. Vietnam: A Fast-Growing Golf Destination

Hoiana Shores in Vietnam

For golfers looking for the next ‘it’ destination, turn your attention to Vietnam, where some of the world’s best golf architects are designing courses in the mountains, jungles, and along its coastline. Before 2020, there were about 80 golf courses in Vietnam, many attached to luxury resorts. By 2025, more than 200 courses will be built out.

Golfers can find year-round golf in Vietnam, heading into the highlands like Dalat for a cool mist and mountain breezes and hitting and booking tee times in Ho Chi Minh City and Southern Vietnam throughout the year. November to April is dry and cool in Northern Vietnam, and the same goes for Central Vietnam from February to May.

Hoina Shores Golf Club , designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., is a must-play for any golf enthusiast visiting Vietnam. It’s located within the $4 billion Hoiana Casino and Resort development on the Vietnamese coast south of Danang.

7. Mauritius: Bucket List Golf Destination

Anahita Golf Club

Mauritius is known for its stunning beaches and lush rainforests and unofficial world wonders like the Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark, a sand dune bursting with colors. But this island in the Indian Ocean also has a history of golf. The tourism office claims that in 1844, when it was under British rule, Mauritius was the third country in the world to be introduced to the sport and Gymkhana Golf Club was the fourth country club in the world where golf was played

Today, Mauritius has 10 18-hole courses and three 9-hole golf courses, including the bucket-list worthy Iles aux Cerfs Golf Club at Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius . Golfers take a complimentary boat shuttle to the golf course where 18 holes come with scenic ocean views. The resort’s second course is Anahita Golf Club, which is set on a former sugar plantation and backed by mountains and fringed by a lagoon.
