"Vietnam is home to some incredible natural wonders, from the world's largest cave and the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia, to the mighty Mekong River and the iconic Ha Long Bay."

Travel Director

Take a dreamy Halong Bay cruise

Board a traditional Vietnamese junk boat and cruise the emerald waters and limestone karsts of Halong Bay. We’ll visit Tien Ong Cave and Cua Van Fishing Village, enjoy a swim at one of the golden beaches, then watch a cooking demonstration and the dazzling sunset on the boat, where we’ll sleep for the night.

Enjoy a Water Puppet performance in a local theater

The Water Puppet performance is a northern Vietnamese art form, which paints the story of rural life in Vietnam a thousand years ago. The puppeteers stand in waist-high water to represent flooded rice fields and you’ll be swept up in the legends they tell through their dancing puppets.

Visit Cua Van Fishing Village

We’ll visit the ancient Cua Van Fishing Village on our Halong Bay cruise, and stop to meet the locals who live in the traditional floating houses. It’s the largest fishing village in Halong Bay, with around 180 floating houses set on gentle waters surrounded by beautiful limestone mountains.

Help local farmers in Thanh Dong Organic Village

Our Local Specialists will take you to Thanh Dong Organic Village in Hoi An, where you’ll meet the local farmers and spend time learning about their daily working routines. You’ll also get to help the farmers in the garden and discover their unique methods that leave a positive impact on their environment.

Visit the UNESCO-listed Imperial Citadel in Hue

Jump on the back of a cyclo and take a journey to the Imperial Citadel in Hue, the former capital and home of the Nguyen emperors. You can enter the large square fortress and explore the ancient palaces and temples, and we’ll even take you inside the Purple Forbidden City.

Our top 5 things to do in Vietnam

Our Vietnam vacation packages reveal the magic of the country, from the magnificent Halong Bay and the ancient citadel of Hue, to the local farmers in Hoi An.

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

Located in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the final resting place of President Ho Chi Minh, the iconic Vietnamese Revolutionary leader. Known to his people as ‘Uncle Ho’, his body is preserved in a glass case and protected by a military honor guard.

Temple of Literature

One of Hanoi’s most beautiful sites, the Temple of Literature is an ancient complex built in 1070 and dedicated to Confucius and scholars. It’s also home to the Imperial Academy, Vietnam’s first university and you can see the historic pavilions, turtle steles, courtyards, a lake of literature and the Well of Heavenly Clarity.

My Son Temples

The My Son Temples are a complex of ancient Hindu temples, built between the 4th and 14th century to worship the god Shiva. It was once the site of royal religious ceremonies and the burial place for Cham royalty, and today you can explore the ruins of this UNESCO-listed site.

Best museums in Vietnam

Our Vietnam escorted tours will reveal the country’s best museums, from the ancient My Son Temples to the resting place of President Ho Chi Minh.

One of Vietnam’s most famous dishes, pho is a noodle soup that’s loved all over the world. It’s made from a slow-stewed beef broth poured over rice noodles, and topped with slices of chicken or beef. You can also add a variety of herbs, sauces and chilli to your tastes.

Also known as rice paper spring rolls, goi cuon are light and fresh rolls with plenty of flavor. A rice paper wrapping is filled with bean sprouts, lettuce, meat or tofu and other crunchy vegetables. It’s best served with a sweet or spicy sauce for dipping.

Banh xeo is a thin crepe filled with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts and fresh herbs. It’s a classic northern Vietnamese dish with French influences, and the best way to eat it is cut it up in bite-sized pieces, roll it up in lettuce leaves and dunk it into the zesty side sauces.

Best food in Vietnam

An organised trip to Vietnam with Trafalgar will ensure you taste the best of Vietnam’s incredible cuisine, from warm bowls of pho to fresh goi cuon rolls.

Reef-safe sunscreen & insect repellent

Vietnam is lined with spectacular sandy beaches, and you’ll also need a swimsuit for swimming in the turquoise waters of Halong Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to visit vietnam.

The best time to visit Vietnam depends on your preferences and the regions you plan to visit, as the weather can vary quite a bit across this long country. Here are some insights on the most recommended times for different areas:

• Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa): The dry and cooler months of November to April are generally considered the best, when skies are clear and temperatures are comfortable (60s-70s°F). Summer months can be extremely hot and humid.
• Central Vietnam (Hue, Danang, Hoi An): The drier months between February and July offer the most ideal beach weather along the central coast. Temperatures are warm but not oppressively hot.
• Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta): The drier season runs from November to April/May, avoiding the heavy rains of the summer monsoon season. Temperatures are hot year-round but more manageable in the "winter" months.

In general, the spring (February to April) is one of the best times to visit much of Vietnam, when days are sunny, dry and warm across most regions. The fall (September to November) can also be an excellent shoulder season.

Keep in mind Vietnam's diverse topography means mountain areas like Sapa will be quite cool in winter, while coastal areas have a more tropical climate year-round. Planning around festivals like Tet can also impact timing.

What are the typical costs associated with a trip to Vietnam?

The typical costs for a trip to Vietnam can vary depending on your travel style, but overall it is considered a relatively affordable destination. Here are some estimates for common expenses (The pricing information provided is based on the latest data available in 2024):

Accommodation:

• Budget hotel/hostel: $15-25 per night
• Mid-range hotel: $30-70 per night 
• High-end resort: $100+ per night
• Street food meals: $1-5
• Inexpensive restaurant meal: $5-10

Transportation:

• Taxi ride in cities: $3-10 for short rides
• Rental motorbike: $10-25 per day
• Domestic flights: $80-250 for mid-range routes
• Open tour bus: $10-20 per route

Entrance fee:

• Major sights like Temple of Literature-National University: 70,000 VND/visit/person; Ngoc Son Temple: 50,000 VND/visit/person; Hoa Lo Prison Historical Site: 50,000 VND/visit/person; Thang Long Imperial Citadel Center: 100,000 VND/visit/person;
• Museums and Temples: $2-30 / entry

• Luxury: $200+ per day

Additional costs to factor in are adventure activities like hiking, visas if required, travel insurance, and shopping/souvenirs. Overall, you can travel very economically in Vietnam, especially by eating street food, using public transport, and staying in budget hotels.

What are some off-the-beaten-path destinations in Vietnam?

Vietnam has plenty of amazing off-the-beaten-path destinations that offer a more authentic, untouristy experience. Here are some lesser-visited gems to consider:

• Ha Giang Province (Far North) This remote mountainous region near the Chinese border has stunning karst landscapes, traditional minority villages, and incredible motorbike routes like the Hapkhanh Loop.
• Cao Bang is another northern province with beautiful mountains and lakes. It's also home to the Ban Gioc Waterfall, the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia.
• Ninh Binh (South of Hanoi) While overlooked by many, Ninh Binh's landscape of limestone karsts, boat-filled waterways and temples rivals that of more famous Halong Bay.
• Pu Luong Nature Reserve is a protected area in northwest Vietnam with lush forests, mountains, and rice terraces. You can go hiking, biking, or kayaking in the reserve.
• Mu Cang Chai (Northwest) This rural district is home to breathtaking terraced rice fields carved into the mountains by the H'Mong minority people.
• Ly Son Island (Off South Central Coast) A tranquil volcanic island with colorful houses, garlic fields, and pristine beaches that make a unique getaway.
• Ba Be National Park (Northeast) Vietnam's largest protected area has serene lakes, waterfalls, cave systems and minority villages to explore amid dense forests.
• Phong Nha is a national park in central Vietnam with stunning caves, including Phong Nha Cave, one of the largest caves in the world. You can go spelunking, hiking, or boating in the park.
• Mui Ne (South Coast) A lower-key beach town with great kitesurfing, sand dunes, and nearby Phan Thiet's fish sauce-making villages.
• Con Dao Islands (Off South Coast) This former prison island archipelago is now a national park with preserved nature, diving spots and colonial buildings.

While harder to access, these destinations provide rewarding cultural interactions, gorgeous scenery and a low-impact, crowd-free experience compared to Vietnam's mega-tourism hubs.

Go Vietnam Tours believes that going to a new place and spending time there is part of the enjoyment! Go Vietnam Tours supports local transportation and traditional methods of Vietnam tour packages whenever feasible, frequently with very little ecological impact, assisting local companies, and supplying travelers with a more immersive experience. You can find various transportations to traveling based on your itinerary in Vietnam, such as:

Sleeper train overnight

Traveling through Vietnam by overnight sleeper train is an amusing way to see the country. Socialize with other travelers as well as take a seat by a window and observe the scenery.

Take a while to wave to local residents as you ride across paddy fields, simple cities and towns in the countryside in Vietnam.

These 3 wheeled vehicles are an unusual but great experience to zip around the sights on vacation to Vietnam.

With Go Vietnam Tours, travel is a little bit unique. We aim to provide visitors with an authentic experience they won't soon forget with the best Vietnam tour packages, therefore we make an effort to maintain as many distinctive and traditional accommodations as we can. If you travel with us to Vietnam, you might stay in one of the following:

Overnight boat

A really Vietnamese experience, sleeping on a boat in Halong Bay, deserves to be appreciated. Enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding limestone karst landscape as you go off to sleep is the coolest way to savor a vacation in Vietnam.

On a delightful homestay, get to know the Vietnamese way of life. Make friends with your hosts and neighbors while learning about new cuisines, languages, Vietnam guided tours and traditions.

If you're looking for a fantastic vacation destination in Southeast Asia, Vietnam should be at the top of your list. With its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, Vietnam tour packages have something to offer every traveler. Vietnam, which occupies a long and narrow section of the Indochina peninsula, borders China, Laos, and Cambodia. Mountains can be found throughout most of Vietnam, particularly in the North and Central Highlands. The majority of the people in Vietnam live in low-lying areas with easy infrastructure and public and fertile agricultural land. Vietnam frequently experiences flooding because of the Mekong, one of the world's 12 major rivers. The Mekong Delta and nearby areas have experienced less flooding thanks to the canal and dike system's ability to distribute floodwater.

Early History

The area that is now Vietnam has been inhabited since the beginning of time. According to archaeological discoveries, organized communities started to emerge as early as the first millennium BC. Up until the Chinese invasion in 111 BC, which caused the societies of Vietnam and China to converge, early society was mostly focused on agriculture and feudalism, with numerous dynasties ruling over different regions of Vietnam. For hundreds of years, the region was ruled by various Chinese dynasties, but in 905, the Vietnamese gained independence as a result of uprisings. Vietnam entered an era of independence in 938, marking the end of this period of Chinese imperial rule.

Recent History

French colonialists who took over Vietnam following the Sino-French War of 1884 and 1885 had an influence on it during the 19th century. Parts of Vietnam were included in French Indochina and Cambodia, and Laos which was created in 1887. First, after Vietnamese troops beat French forces in the Indochina War in 1954, the French were finally forced to give up control of the internal independence movements they had long sought to stifle. Vietnam was split up after this conflict, with separate governments in the north (headed by Ho Chi Minh) and the south (led by Ngo Dinh Diem, with American support).

The second Indochina War caused widespread destruction and upheaval for the Vietnamese people, and as a result, a large number of individuals left Vietnam in search of sanctuary in other parts of the world. Vietnam's economy had almost completely collapsed by the 1980s, which prompted additional waves of emigration from Vietnam. Vietnam has lately profited from the free economy that was established in 1986. Vietnam's economy is still growing, with agricultural and manufacturing serving as the foundation and the tour operators also making a contribution. Despite the fact that many Vietnamese people are living in poverty, literacy rates have increased significantly.

While Vietnam's history has been marked by conflict and hardship, the country has made significant strides in recent years towards economic growth and development. With a booming tourism industry and a wide range of Vietnam tour packages to choose from, travelers from all over the world are discovering the beauty and charm of this Indochina gem.

Vietnamese markets and small businesses are a good mix of the intriguing; the finest choices include handicrafts, art, and and clothing, which can be explored through Vietnam tour packages.

To be sure that you can carry particular things back into your place of origin, it is a good idea to verify with your local customs officers. In general, quarantine regulations in Australia and New Zealand are strict.

1. Tailored Clothing

One of the best places on the planet to find high-quality custom apparel is Hoi An. Locate a tailor, select your fabrics, get fitted, then come back later to pick up your bespoke clothing.

2. Hilltribe Handicrafts

Some of the hill tribes during the Vietnam tour produce great woven jewelry, apparel, and bags that make thoughtful gifts for family and friends back home.

Vietnamese coffee is among the greatest in the world, and it comes from one of the biggest exporters in the world. Why not bring a little bit of Vietnam's tour home with you if you are a coffee habitué?

4. Lacquerware

Vietnamese lacquer art is created through a labor-intensive, lengthy process that yields a stunning, smooth, and polished finish that covers everything from bowls to jewelry boxes and paintings. Although those are not the low-priced keepsakes, genuine lacquer work is pricey but worth while during Vietnam tour packages.

Halong Bay in the early morning is unlike anything else. Hundreds of enormous karst structures may be seen rising above the boat as the mists dissipate. It feels like you are waking up in a watercolor painting of a mystical place in the beautiful morning light. One of the best ways to experience the beauty of Halong Bay in Vietnam is through well-designed Vietnam vacation packages that cater to your interests and preferences.

When visiting the capital of Vietnam through Vietnam tour packages, Hanoi, the phrase "motorcycle" comes up frequently. It's insane and chaotic, but it manages to work. It is preferable to take in this exotic vista from a rooftop cafe. Watch the uproar below as you place another coffee order.

The Mekong Delta is a must see attraction in Vietnam tour packages. Some of the friendliest people on earth reside in this wide region of floating marketplaces, emerald rice paddies, and verdant islands. For a first-hand view of life in the Delta and to get to know your neighbors, set sail for one of the sleeping islands.

Vietnam vacation packages offer an excellent opportunity to explore the vibrant villages of Vietnam's minority groups such as the Zay and the Blue and Black H'mong, amid the highlands. Due to the area's isolation, an overnight hike where you stay with a local family is a great way to explore it. 

Quy Nhon is a charming seaside off the major tourist route. Even a driving trip here is worthwhile. Islands, lagoons, and dunes gradually give way to paddy fields and large plantations as the route follows rocky slopes plunging into the South China Sea. A place worth going when thinking about a Vietnam tour package.

Hue is a city for heritage aficionados since it is crammed with imperial monuments. Prior to channeling your internal emperor and having a dragonboat journey down the Perfume River, discover the Citadel and its abandoned Forbidden Purple City.

Boot manufacturers, tailors, and artisans call this shopping heaven home more than you could possibly visit in a lifetime. Hire a bicycle and tour the Old Town while you wait for your suit to be constructed; the streets are gloriously car-free.

Most people still refer to HCMC as Saigon, and it is a busy metropolis. It moves quickly, is thrilling, and has wonderful sights. Skyscrapers, cathedrals, and markets all coexist in a heady mingling of traditional, colonial, and modern architecture.

The hustle and bustle of Hanoi seems a million miles away in Mai Chau. The tranquil atmosphere is aided by misty mountains and verdant rice fields. Be sure to keep an eye out for the traditional textiles produced by the local White Thai population during Vietnam tour packages.

Known as the "honeymoon capital" of Vietnam, is perpetually the must-going place in the spring. Discover the bizarre local artists, take in the French-inspired ambiance, and explore the nearby lakes, waterfalls, and forests. Fantastic!

The Chinese, Khmer, French, and American civilizations have all had a different impact on Vietnam's ancient culture over hundreds of years, which may be centuries old. Whether they hail from remote villages or live in bustling metropolises, family and community connections are important to the majority of Vietnamese people. The majority of festivals and holidays are spent with the extended family, where rituals are performed, special foods are enjoyed, symbolic presents are exchanged, and ancestors are honored. Although there are certainly a lot of Catholics in Vietnam, the majority of Vietnamese practice a fascinating blend of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. When the Vietnam War brought hardships in the 1960s and 1970s, the majority of Vietnamese people desired to integrate into society, live optimistically and modestly. Let's experience the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam through its festivals, rituals, and special foods with the help of Vietnam tour packages.

Go Vietnam Tours takes every precaution to make sure that tours are secure, enjoyable, and pleasant for everyone. We take the health and safety of our travelers during Vietnam tour packages seriously. We advise all customers to get the most recent information prior to departure from their local government or national travel advisory agency.

What Clients Tell About Us

Wonderful Honeymoon Vacation in Vietnam

"The trip was amazing for me and my wife. We got to see so many parts and have so many experiences in Vietnam that were once in a lifetime. Our travel designer, Tracey, met us at the hotel on the day we landed in Hanoi and made us feel welcome and comfortable. She and his team were supportive and helpful during the entire Vietnam luxury travel. The whole team at this travel company were available and immediately responsive throughout the journey. We also were extremely impressed with the boutique hotels we stayed at in all of the locations! They were truly outstanding and added a special touch in each place we visited."

Benjamin Werner & Katherine Werner

Amazing Family Holiday in Vietnam & Cambodia

"We could not have asked for anything better! Our travel expert from this luxury travel agency planned a fantastic vacation for our company in Vietnam & Cambodia. She booked great hotels in Hanoi, Hoi An, Saigon, Phnom Penh & Siem Reap. She arranged excellent tour in all destinations that perfectly fit our interests and needs. Of critical importance to my husband, the travel designer arranged for perfect transfers to & from the airport. Everything went without a single hiccup. My daughter loves this luxury journey so much. We highly recommend this travel team to anyone planning a family trip to Vietnam & Cambodia."

The Beckers

Astonishing Vietnam & Thailand Beach Vacation

"It was the perfect beach vacation! We worked with this luxury travel company to find the right balance between sightseeing/adventure and beach relaxation, and it ended up being exactly what we were looking for. Our hotels, guides, and transportation were all top-notch and the itinerary was spot on. Thailand and Vietnam are such beautiful countries with thriving cultures (people, food, wildlife, scenery) and this luxury itinerary really allowed us to immerse ourselves and explore so much over 2 weeks. We would definitely use this luxury tour operator again and recommend to anyone looking to travel to the region."

We had such a great time. Every day was somthing new! Our coordinator was in contact with me everyday always available to answer all my questions. I’d recommend them

I had a very great experience with this Geckos Trip! Met some awesome people and our guide was even more amazing and took us to all great restaurants and shops and recommended us which activities we could do with a discount. I enjoyed every moment of it and will never forget this trip!

• Ocean Cruise

Hanoi - Sapa Highlight Package Tour in 7 Days

Well I have to say that I'm always a little nervous about booking a trip online but everything worked out perfect. We were picked up at our hotel promptly and they arrived with a large caravan to take us to Sapa. The ride was conformable and in the heat the air conditioner was very powerful. The drivers throughout the trip were friendly and handled the van safely. An excellent hotel! Great breakfast, pool, bar and the staff was of the highest caliber. Our guide , Mr Kong and our driver in Vietnam were the best. Mr khonhn was well informed about all aspects of the temples and our driver Somah was a very good driver. They both spoke english well and helped make our trip a lot of fun. You won't be disappointed with this company.

Vietnam Intro 12 Day

We had Bobby as our guide and he was very thoughtful and kind, very clear throughout the trip with next steps. I wish he had given us more information on the history of Vietnam at points, but this is the only thing, overall a really great and organised trip.

11 Days North to South of Vietnam

Generally the agent has been efficient and itinerary was been effectively carried out. If some parts of itinerary can be reviewed, it will be ideal, eg, the flight from Danang to HCM could be slightly later so the check in process would not be so rush & also able to meet the room check in time at hotel in HCM, to have a 2 nights Halong Bay cruise for better enjoyments & slightly some quiet moments on cruise, the Hanoi city tour could be on the 2nd day of the trip instead of the day to leave for Danang, and the HCM city tour in the afternoon could be done in a slower pace. Overall, I am satisfied with the trip.

• Sightseeing

Amazing Vietnam Super Save Package In 11 Days

Fantastic Tour - great variety of activities and well organised. Every time we were expecting a driver they were there on time and the tour guides were all great too.

North & Central Vietnam: Hanoi, Hoi An & Countryside Adventures

Rocky was a fantastic tour leader. Had an enjoyable time.

4 Days South of Vietnam

The places that I wanted to visit were well covered, with in-depth explanation by the guide on the history of the sites.

Vietnam: Historic Cities & Halong Bay Cruising

Good tour with a great guide

Vietnam Best Deal In 10 Days

Amazing tour - great guides, transportation, itinerary, food, and hotels. Would 100% recommend! The tour company was so flexible to accommodate the needs of our family group!

Complete Vietnam - 10 Days

Most 10 day tour was good. The train journey shocked us. The train being dirty and very very uncomfortable for overnight travel. Food was very poor did not eat for 24 hours. We were shocked at the sleeping duvet and pillow was not changed we saw them straighten the sheet and folding duvet ready for next people at de Nang station. We felt as though we were sleeping on wood all night. Not good for people over 60.

10-Day Relaxing from Ho Chi Minh city to Hanoi with Phu Quoc island & Halong Bay

The tour was well planned and it was very easy to get a hold of them with any questions throughout. There was a nice balance of free time and planned tours. Would have liked to stay with the same guide/group for the whole trip. The quality of the guides wasn't consistent. With the exception of one hotel, all the accommodation was EXCELLENT. Overall, would do again!

Sai Gon Highlights 5 days 4 nights

Our first time in Vietnam and it went extremely well. Picked up from the airport , great hotel, on time tour pickup with knowledgeable and amusing guide. We don't normally use guided tours but are very happy we did in this case.

• Hiking & Trekking
• Mountain Hikes

Sapa Adventure

Hotel was very good, home stay was a good standard, meals were a good standard, helpful host. A really good experience.

North and Central Vietnam 7 Days 6 Nights (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Danang and Hoi An)

Very well organised and great communication during my whole trip. The only downfall would be tour guides asking for tips when they haven't done even a half decent job. This was only 2 guide but all the other guides were just amazing and went above and beyond. I requested to change my itenary slightly to finish in a different town and this was sorted with ease and efficiency for me very promptly.

Budget Tours & Trips to Vietnam Reviews

All 5 star services and PERFECT trip We decided to comback Vietnam earlier than our plan. We still booked our trip through out LVPTRAVEL, nothing to complain and talk much about their professional handle. Informative guide + good hotel, amazing itinerary

Really enjoyable and well structured tour. Tuan was a really helpful and insightful guide and was able to manage the group (and it's varying characters!) really well. Accommodation was all very good and the optional paid activities were all good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Admirable journey to Vietnam ! Cheap but meaningful experiences! Absolutly agree support and recommended trip on Tourradar

Vietnam Tours & Holidays

Vietnamese food is where it’s at.

Wherever we travel, it’s the flavours 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 colonisers, 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 in the future.

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 jewellery 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 jewellery 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.

Please also check the requirements if you plan to re-enter Vietnam.

Is tipping customary in Vietnam?

Tipping isn't mandatory or customary in Vietnam, but a tip of spare change or another small amount would be appreciated by restaurants, drivers and other service workers, especially if the service has been particularly good .

What is the internet access like in Vietnam?

Internet access is widely available in tourist areas and big cities, which have many internet cafes. Internet access is less frequent in rural and remote areas.

Can I use my mobile phone while in Vietnam?

You'll be able to use your mobile phone in most urban areas of Vietnam, although remote and mountainous areas may not have network coverage. Ensure you have global roaming activated with your mobile carrier before you leave home if you wish to use your mobile while in Vietnam.

What are the toilets like in Vietnam?

You'll have to adjust to different standards of hygiene and sanitation while holidaying in Vietnam. The standard toilet is of the squat variety and this may take some getting used to, although western-style toilets can be found in large hotels and some tourist areas.

What will it cost for a…?

The currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong. Here's what you can expect to pay for a:

• Local-style coffee at a cafe = 20,000-30,000 VND
• Bowl of pho from street stall = 20,000-70,000 VND
• Dinner at a simple restaurant = 100,000-250,000 VND
• Dinner at an up-market restaurant = 300,000+ VND

Can I drink the tap water in Vietnam?

It is generally not safe to drink the tap water in Vietnam. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found; some hotels we stay in may have drinking water available. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit and vegetables before eating.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Vietnam?

Major credit cards are widely accepted by large shops, hotels and restaurants in Vietnam. However, they may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as small family restaurants, market stalls or in remote towns and rural areas. Make sure you carry enough cash for purchases, since credit cards aren't always an option everywhere in Vietnam.

What is ATM access like in Vietnam?

ATMs are found widely throughout Vietnam, so withdrawing cash shouldn't be problematic in most areas. Some smaller villages and rural areas may not have ATM access, so prepare for this before venturing too far from a city or major town.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before travelling?

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

When is the best time to visit Vietnam?

The most popular times to visit Vietnam are spring (February-April) and autumn (September-December) but because of the huge variations in latitude and altitude, there is no one best time to go to Vietnam. It’s a good destination all year.

What's the weather like in Vietnam?

Vietnam has an incredibly diverse tropical climate, and temperatures vary from 4°C in Sapa in winter to humid 36°C days in Saigon in the middle of the dry season. The monsoons bring heavy rain to the south, and a cooler winter to the north depending on when you plan to tour Vietnam.

What are the best things to eat in Vietnam?

Traditional Vietnamese food is typified by its use of fresh herbs and vegetables and its wide regional variance. Vietnamese food is influenced by its Chinese and Khmer neighbours and echoes French colonisation. Some of the best things to eat in Vietnam are noodle soups (pho, bun mam, bun bo hue), bread rolls (banh mi), savoury 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 accommodation will I have in Vietnam?

Travelling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavour to provide travellers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.  When travelling 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 savoured. 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 neighbours.

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 travelling by:

• Overnight sleeper train

Travelling 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.

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.

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 traveller. 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 individualised support to every child rescued. 

Find out more or make a donation

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 travellers 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 travellers 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 travellers with disabilities may need to rely on local people to help. Taxis are readily available and an affordable way to get around for travellers who are not confident in exploring independently on foot.

How do I stay safe and healthy while travelling?

Intrepid takes the health and safety of its travellers seriously and takes every measure to ensure that trips are safe, fun and enjoyable for everyone. We recommend that all travellers check with their government or national travel advisory organisation for the latest information before departure:

From Australia?

Go to: Smart Traveller

From Canada?

Go to:  Canada Travel Information

From the UK?

Go to:  UK Foreign Travel Advice

From New Zealand?

Go to:  Safe Travel

From the US?

Go to:  US Department of State

The World Health Organisation also provides useful health information.

What is it like travelling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or you’re about to embark on your first trip, travelling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organising amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), travelling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Get ready for your visit

Vietnam's unit of currency is the Vietnamese đồng (VND) , represented by the '₫' symbol. You can find notes in denominations of 200₫, 500₫, 1,000₫, 2,000₫, 5,000,₫ 10,000₫, 20,000₫, 50,000₫, 100,000₫, 200,000₫, and 500,000₫. For newcomers it can be helpful to ignore the final three zeros until you get the hang of the conversion.

Cash is generally used for small purchases, however, most establishments will accept payments from major credit card providers such as Visa. In addition, hotels, tour operators, boutiques, restaurants, and grocery stores generally accept international debit and credit cards.

If you need to change money, currency exchange counters are available at airports, banks, and official exchange centers. However do note it can be very difficult to purchase dollars once you’re in Vietnam. For most travellers we recommend using ATMs instead of currency exchange points. ATMs are widely available across the country. Maximum withdrawals for foreign cards are usually two or three million per transaction. Below are some banks with higher withdrawal limits:  

Bank maximum withdrawals:

• ANZ: 5 million VND
• Citibank: 10 million VND
• HSBC: 5 million VND
• Commonwealth: 10 million VND

Taxi services

Vietnam has modern, efficient taxi services to help you get around. To avoid scams and haggling, we recommend sticking with the reputable Vinasun and Mai Linh taxis only. There are plenty of these taxis in Vietnam’s tourism destinations. Other taxi companies you can take are Hanoi Taxi Group and SaigonTourist. 

Whichever taxi company you take, always ask to use the metre. In most cities, you can also use call the operator numbers for Vinasun or Mai Linh taxis for a pickup from your location. 

Ride-sharing applications such as Grab are also available for cars and motorbikes in Vietnam's main cities. You will need a local SIM card to use these apps. Click here for more information about transport in Vietnam.

Public holidays

Vietnamese Lunar New Year Festival (Tet) is the biggest holiday of the year, and takes place in late January or early February. Travellers should be aware that most businesses and restaurants shut down during this holiday, as Vietnamese travel home to be with their families. Public transport hubs are full to overflowing in the days leading up to Tet. Any transportation booked over the Tet period should be confirmed well in advance.

You can find a full list of public holidays in Vietnam here , and a round-up of Vietnam’s best festivals here .

Government agencies work eight hours a day from 8am to 5pm, with a one-hour lunch break. Working days are from Monday to Friday. 

Most banks in Vietnam open from 7:30am or 8am to 4:30pm, with a break for lunch. Some banks are open on Saturday mornings from 8am to 11:30pm.

Power plugs

The voltage supply in Vietnam is 220 volts. Most sockets accommodate plugs with two round prongs. If you need adaptors you can find them at any electrical shop, or ask your hotel for assistance. Power cuts and surges are not common but can happen from time to time depending on the location.

SIM cards & helpful numbers

Getting a local SIM card in Vietnam is fast and inexpensive. There are three major GSM network operators in Vietnam, and all have good coverage

You can buy prepaid SIM cards on arrival at major airports, as well as from countless shops across the country. You will need to show your passport to register your SIM card. Prices for SIM cards, SMS messages and phone calls are extremely affordable within Vietnam. You can load your phone credit in increments from 20,000 VND to 100,000 VND on most networks. Data-only SIM cards may cost 100,000 VND to 200,000 VND depending on the amount of data purchased. 

Here are few numbers you may need while in Vietnam: International Dialing Code: +84 Domestic Calls (within Vietnam): 0 + Area code + Telephone No. International Calls (outside Vietnam): 00 + Country code + Area code + Telephone No.

The following is a list of useful telephone numbers to have on hand when visiting Vietnam: +84: International Dialing Code 101: Domestic Long Distance Telephone Service 1080: Social and Cultural Information 110: International Telephone Service 113: Police 114: Fire Brigade 115: Ambulance

Internet and postal services

Vietnam is well-wired and in most destinations you can easily find a connection in cafes, spas, shops, hotels and restaurants. Free public Internet access is available in several tourist hubs and major airports. Local 3G and 4G packages are an affordable option if you plan to visit remote areas or need to be online frequently. The Vietnamese postal service is generally reliable, although packages can take longer to arrive than expected and are often held at the post office for pick-up. Mailboxes are uncommon. If you are sending postcards home, give them to your hotel to mail or send them directly from a post office.

Vietnam’s major cities have excellent clinics and hospitals ready to serve travellers, with English-speaking doctors and staff. Below you’ll find a list of some of the best places to go if you need medical help. We highly recommend buying travel insurance before coming to Vietnam.

The 10 best places to visit in Vietnam in 2024

Feb 24, 2024 • 8 min read

Experience the best of Vietnam with these top places to visit © hadynyah / Getty Images

With its rolling emerald landscapes, perfect beaches and energetic cities, Vietnam is unsurprisingly a magnet for visitors in search of an incredible travel experience.

This country is teeming with attractions, so it pays to plan your trip around the places you absolutely can't miss. Where you want to go will influence whether you fly into cultured Hanoi in the north or energetic Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in the south, or whether you bypass these two megacities for the laid-back beaches of tropical Phu Quoc.

Start your travel to-do list now with our ten favorite places to visit in Vietnam.

1. Phu Quoc

Best for beach lovers

About as far south as you can get from Hanoi without splashing into the Gulf of Thailand, the island of Phu Quoc is where beach worshippers come to pray. Lapped by jewel-blue waters and edged by fine sandy beaches, this is a place to slip into low gear, reaching for a cocktail as the ember-colored sun dips into the bay.

But it's far from undiscovered – local tourists come in droves for theme park thrills at VinWonders and giddying views over the sea from the world's longest over-sea cable car. Phu Quoc is a popular stop for families, and if you fancy a change from the tourist scene, there are dense jungles to explore inland from the sand.

Planning tip: If you're bound for Phu Quoc, there's no need to go via Hanoi and HCMC; numerous Asian airlines offer flights from hubs such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul, connecting with long-haul flights further afield.

Best for city slickers

Every trip has to start somewhere, and the ideal point of arrival for first-timers is Vietnam's historic capital. As well as easy infrastructure, inexpensive accommodation, world-class dining and more history than you'll ever have time to take in, Hanoi is the leaping-off point for the islands and outcrops around Halong Bay and the forest-draped trails of the mountainous northwest. Give yourself time to graze through Vietnam's catalog of street food treats  and pause to soak up the atmosphere in cozy cafes in the Old Quarter as well as rush around the sights.

Planning tip: To enjoy Hanoi nightlife on a budget, swing by the streetside bia hoi (draft beer) stalls at busy Bia Hoi Junction on the drinking strip of P Ta Hein.

3. Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay

Best for iconic photos

The crowds mob Halong Bay , but for our money, the shimmering bays to the north and south have a slight edge over Vietnam's most famous collection of outcrops and islands. While trips to Halong Bay are highly commercialized, with motorized luxury junks blowing diesel fumes around the eroded karst islands, Lan Ha Bay  and Bai Tu Long Bay  are a bit more laid-back, and you won't have quite so many cruise ships in your photos. Try kayaking between the outcrops, explore the tropical trails on Cat Ba Island – gateway to Lan Ha Bay – or kick back on the sand on Bai Tu Long's idyllic Co To Island.

Planning tip: If you visit Cat Ba Island, take time to explore the trails around Cat Ba National Park – if you trek with your own guide, it's easy to leave the crowds behind.

4. Ho Chi Minh City

Best for a sense of the past

Cosmopolitan Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is the southern counterweight to Hanoi in the north, taking its cultural cues from the Mekong Delta and neighboring Cambodia . It's fast-paced, frenetic and fun, particularly after dark, when the pavements transform into a mobile buffet of street food stalls and roadside bars.

A little of the frontier feel of the war years lives on in HCMC, and you can learn more about this violent period at sites such as the War Remnants Museum . The ghosts of French Indochina linger too – set aside some time to wander past the city's colonial-era landmarks, then settle into a coffee shop with a drip-brewed ca phi .

Planning tip: For a break from the city crush, swing out to nearby Tay Ninh, where the Cao Dai Holy See offers a fascinating introduction to the all-embracing Cao Dai religion.

5. Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park

Best for unique experiences

Vietnam's biggest natural attraction – literally – is Hang Son Doong Cave, the largest cavern in the world by volume and a true wonder. An entire New York City block could fit inside its vast main passage, but this monster cavern is only accessible on expensive guided treks.

The good news is that  Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park  is pockmarked with caverns that you can clamber, crawl, boat or zipline through for a fraction of the cost. Trips to the Tu Lan, Phong Nha and Paradise caves are possible on a shoestring budget; more cash will buy access to Hang En, where trekkers set up tents on an underground beach, illuminated by shafts of natural light.

Best for history

A stay in harmonious Hoi An is a journey into Vietnam's lavish, layered past. This was once one of the most important ports in Asia, and traders from as far afield as Japan, Spain and North America filled the pockets of its merchants with gold. Locals used their money wisely, packing the Old Town with teetering shophouses, tea warehouses, fanciful covered bridges, elaborate Chinese guildhalls, and colorful Confucian and Buddhist pagodas. History is only the beginning – many travelers stay for days, learning to make white rose dumplings and summer rolls on chef-led cooking courses, and ordering made-to-measure suits and gowns from the city's modestly priced tailors' shops.

Planning tip: For a change of pace, head inland from Hoi An and spend a night in a friendly community homestay in the Co Tu minority village of Bho Hoong.

7. The Central Beaches

Best for sun-seekers

Sandy bays stud Vietnam's central coastline, but the mood varies widely from beach to beach. Package tourists flock to high-rise Danang  and Nha Trang – famed as military R&R stops during the American War – but we rate the calmer beaches along the coast, where a little of Vietnam's old seaside charm still endures. To the south of Nha Trang, Mui Ne is a lively kitesurfing hub following a string of sandy coves, while Doc Let Beach to the north serves up 18km (11 miles) of sand, surf and seafood. For a quieter experience, hit the coast between Hue and Danang – Thuan An is the gateway to a string of serene and sandy beaches flanking a lagoon-backed barrier island.

Best for imperial history

The former capital of the Nguyen dynasty – which ruled over large parts of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the 19th and 20th centuries – drips with imperial history, despite the ravages of US bombers during the American War. Much was lost in Hue , but the grandeur of dynastic Vietnam lives on in the Citadel and Imperial Enclosure , housing the emperor's residence, temples, palaces and court. At one time, entering without permission would bring instant death. Just outside town are the tombs of Vietnam's greatest emperors, resting serenely in green compounds beside the Perfume River. Another relic of royal rule is Hue's imperial cuisine – arguably the finest in the country – try a spicy bowl of bun bo Hue (vermicelli noodle soup) or a crispy banh khoai pancake, and you'll see what we mean.

Planning tip: To stay one step ahead of the crowds at Hue's imperial tombs and rent a motorcycle or scooter to explore; don't miss the Thien Mu Pagoda on your way out of the city.

9. Ba Be National Park

Best for lake and forest scenery

Vietnam has more than 30 national parks , taking in everything from coastal swamps to mountain jungles, but some are firmly on the tourist trail, and the crowds can be an impediment to spotting wildlife. That's less of a problem in lovely Ba Be National Park , where trails weave between the limestone peaks to Hmong, Tay and Dzao villages, and boat and kayak trips cross serene lakes hemmed in by forested ridges, creating scenes worthy of a medieval woodcut. The park is a haven for everything from macaques and langur monkeys to rare black bears, scaly pangolins and the spectacular crested serpent eagle.

Planning tip: Comfy accommodation in village homes completes the sense of stepping off the mainstream tourist circuit. For an intimate homestay experience, check out the family-run guesthouses in Pac Ngoi village, accessible by bus from Hanoi, via the village of Cho Don.

10. Ha Giang

Best for mountain views

Trekking to the minority villages in the hills around Sapa  is one of Vietnam's top draws, but the country's trekking capital feels rather commercialized these days. Hikers have to walk further every year to find the rural idyll that first drew people to the northwest.

For scenic countryside without the company, remote Ha Giang  province is Vietnam's new frontier. Staying in simple village homestays, you can hike out to minority villages and rice terraces tucked between the soaring limestone peaks, and motor (or pedal) over some of Vietnam's most spectacular passes. You'll want to take plenty of photos on the winding mountain road between Ha Giang town, Dong Van and Meo Vac.

Planning tip: If you're confident in the saddle, motorcycles can easily be rented in Ha Giang town – just ride slowly and be ready for rainy conditions!

To help you prepare for your Vietnam travel, we have put together some tips on Vietnam tourism such as the best time to visit Vietnam, things to do in Vietnam and so on. Read on to learn more!

Best time to visit Vietnam

The best time to visit Vietnam is during the months of spring (February to April) and autumn (August to October). This is when the Vietnam weather is most suitable, with the temperatures moderate and rainfall lighter. In spring, the months of March and April have the lowest rainfall across all destinations and temperatures are pleasant, though still cool in the far northern part of Vietnam. Vietnam tourism tends to peak in different parts of the country in different times of the year due to these differences in weather.

How to reach Vietnam

The two main international airports for Vietnam travel are Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Connecting flights to both these airports are available from Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Kochi etc. on airlines such as Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, and Air India etc.

Indigo Airlines has launched a direct flight to Hanoi from Kolkata with effect from October 2019, which has significantly improved Vietnam tourism from India.

Vietnam Visa for Indians

The process of obtaining a Vietnam visa for Indians is relatively easily and painless, especially if you are applying online. If you wish to handle your application yourself, you can apply through this website which is recognized by the Vietnam Immigration Department.

The application once submitted online gets processed within 3 business days. Once your e-visa is approved, you need to print it out and carry it with you on your Vietnam trip. Upon arrival at the port of entry in Vietnam (Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang), you will be required to show your Approval Letter and passport and hand over two passport-size photos (4cm x 6cm) and cash payment for the Stamping Fee to the Immigration Officer, who will then stamp the Vietnam Visa in your passport.

If you wish to apply for your visa offline directly through the Vietnam Embassy, you can do so with the consideration that it might take 7-10 working days. You can also make use of MakeMyTrip’s Visa Assistance service for Vietnam.

Places to visit in Vietnam

Vietnam is a country full of interesting contrasts, and Vietnam tourism offers the traveller a variety of things to do and attractions to marvel at. The currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong - VND. Here are some of the principal places to visit in Vietnam, which you can easily pre-book in your Vietnam itinerary with the help of your travel consultant to ensure hassle-free travel.

Ha Long Bay 

For a magical and serene experience, visit the enchanting Ha Long Bay in northern Vietnam. With its emerald green waters and towering limestone formations rising from the water like sea dragons, Ha Long Bay is one of the most popular places to visit in Vietnam. The Bay is home to 2,000 islands studded with caves, picturesque beaches and lovely floating villages. Cat Ba Island, one of the largest islands here, is one of the prominent Vietnam tourist places and is known for its National Park with wonderful trekking opportunities. Another national park called the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park is home to picturesque caves like the Hang Son Doong Cave and Paradise Cave.

Cu Chi Tunnels

Located in Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi network of tunnels is about 250 kilometers long and was created in 1940 by the soldiers as a hiding spot during the time of Vietnam War and later American war. The network consists of winding tunnels, narrow branches, countless hidden doors, storage facilities for weapons, and secret paths for canals and rivers that end at the Cambodia border. Visitors can explore the tunnels, watch a black and white informative movie, get their pictures clicked against the massive war tanks and also try their hand at firing any of the original weapons kept here. For history buffs, this is one of the most popular Vietnam tours to add to a Vietnam itinerary.

Reunification Palace

The Reunification Palace is one of the must-visit places in Ho Chi Minh City. The Palace served as the residence of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

The two tanks which were used to capture the palace can still be seen parked outside the palace. Surrounded by lush trees, the palace serves as a museum of the 1970’s now. Its basement still has tunnels, a war room, and a telecommunications centre. There is also a casino on the fifth floor and heliport at the rooftop of the palace.

The War Remnants Museum

Thailand & Vietnam Specialist

On my 8th birthday, my family relocated from the US to Germany — launching me into a lifetime of global citizenship. Early on, I developed a deep appreciation for other cultures and learned the value of stepping out of my comfort zone.

I began my professional career teaching in the Czechia (Czech Republic) your way, empowering me to explore all corners of Europe — from backpacking the Baltics, hopping across sun-drenched Greek islands, to wandering art-draped alleys in Slovenia.

My adventures as a digital nomad halted in 2020, as the world spiralled into pandemic, and I found myself locked down in Vietnam. I had always loved Southeast Asia and suddenly found myself living there. I embraced zipping around by motorbike, developed a love for coffee, and opened a community-centric business.

I’ve since returned to the US after almost a decade abroad and am eager to share my love of travel and empower others to explore.

Q&A with Meghan

What’s your most vivid travel moment?

I will always remember the striking stalagmites and stalactites of Paradise Cave in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Vietnam. As I descended into the cave, I felt the temperature drop dramatically and the settling of heavy moisture in the air. The illumination of the sandcastle-like formations cast intricate shadows across the boardwalks. A sort of echoing silence filled the atmosphere. I couldn’t help but feeling as though I had drifted onto another planet. The whole experience was truly otherworldly.

Which book, film or artwork captures Vietnam the most?

I was first exposed to spiritual teacher and activist Thich Nhat Hanh while living in Vietnam. I’d often attend mindfulness events and see his framed quotes on the walls: “A cloud never dies” and “Smile, breathe and go slowly.” His book 'No Mud, No Lotus' highlights the idea that, while suffering is an inherent part of human experience, it can ultimately be transformed to work for us. I’ve revisited Thich Nhat Hanh’s powerful messages and philosophy often along my journey.

Your best piece of travel advice?

Use your map, but also get lost. I’ve always loved the fact that I can return to a city, even years later, and revisit places I’ve saved to my Google maps. Cozy little jazz bar down an alley in Budapest. Hole in the wall kebab spot in Tangier. It’s always fun to reminisce and return to these special places, but I always make a point of taking the ‘intuitive strolls’ too; walking out the door without a particular plan in mind and drifting towards whichever smells, sights and sounds call me. This is one of my favorite ways to weave myself into the fabric of a new place.

Never forget: Vietnam Traveling Wall in Fort Myers through Sunday

O ne month ahead of Memorial Day, those honoring slain Vietnam War and other U.S. veterans are heading to Lakes Regional Park in Fort Myers.

Through Sunday, the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall and Cost of Freedom display are at the park, 7330 Gladiolus Drive. The wall serves as a tribute, etched with the names of more than 58,000 fallen American heroes.

Bob Sheehan, director of outreach operations for Hope Hospice, helped spearhead the effort to bring the wall to Fort Myers. A Vietnam War-era veteran, he's visited the original in Washington, D.C., many times, he said, taking a minute to gather his thoughts when asked about bringing the replica to Southwest Florida.

"I'm proud of our country; proud of our military," he said, thinking of those who he knew and whose names are on the wall. "All the men and women, the sacrifice. They are the true heroes. Never forget, never forget those who didn’t come home."

The 80% scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., the wall measures nearly 400 feet long. The Cost of Freedom Tribute includes panels honoring American sacrifices in conflicts through the 20th and 21st centuries, including World Wars 1 and 11, the Korean War, 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Sheehan said the wall arrived Wednesday with a full escort of veterans and officers; many of whom stayed to connect the displays.

Hope Healthcare and Chapters Health brought the traveling exhibit to Southwest Florida. The traveling exhibit is to give those who can't travel to the original site, a chance to pay tribute.

Sheehan, a proud military dad to an Army major son, was happy to bring the memorial to Fort Myers. His son, with 20 years in, is based in Washington, and assigned as an air defense officer keeping the capital safe.

"It's touching to me he’s there with the original wall and guarding that area," while the replica is here, he said.

The exhibit is free and open during park hours. For those who visit the exhibit, parking is waived, Sheehan said.

• 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

Amazon prime video s best new show arrives with a perfect 100 critic score, apple s iphone 16 pro design revealed in new leak, charlotte shooting 4 officers killed while serving warrant.

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.

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

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 .

Additionally, it's essential to check the traffic routes before setting out, as rain often leads to road flooding and traffic congestion.

In contrast, the dry season offers sunny days and lower humidity levels, making it an ideal time to visit Ho Chi Minh City. Light, breathable clothing is recommended to stay comfortable in the warm weather, along with sun protection such as hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

By considering the seasonal weather patterns and packing appropriate attire, travelers can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while exploring the vibrant streets and attractions of Ho Chi Minh City.

Double-decker bus (Hop On Hop Off bus) 

These Hop On Hop Off buses offer a comprehensive city tour, allowing travelers to explore Ho Chi Minh City's landmarks and attractions at their own pace.

This is a traditional mode of transportation, offers visitors distinctive perspectives of the city's streets and is ideal for short distances.

Technology motorbike taxi

For quick and efficient travel within the city, you should consider using technology-based motorbike taxi services. These services, accessible through mobile apps, offer convenient rides and are popular among locals and tourists alike.

When using taxis or cyclos, it's essential to exercise caution and prioritize safety. You should choose reputable taxi companies, ask them to use meters, and negotiate prices before the trip to avoid misunderstandings. Besides, you also need to always inquire about the fare in advance and clarify any additional costs to ensure a smooth and transparent journey.

Always be Alert and Take Care of Your Belongings

In any bustling metropolis like Ho Chi Minh City, the presence of pickpockets is a reality. Therefore, it's crucial to remain vigilant and safeguard your belongings, especially in crowded areas, markets, and public transportation. Here are some practical tips to protect your valuables:

• Keep your bags securely fastened and close to your body, preferably in front of you;
• Avoid carrying large sums of cash or displaying valuable items openly;
• Be cautious in crowded areas, where pickpockets may operate discreetly;
• Consider using anti-theft accessories such as money belts or slash-resistant bags;
• Stay aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts if you sense any suspicious behavior.

Tips for Buying Air Tickets to Ho Chi Minh City at Good Prices

Traveling to Ho Chi Minh City can be affordable if you plan ahead and take advantage of available promotions. Here are some tips to help you find good deals on air tickets:
