Places To Visit In Vietnam

Hanoi

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

Explore Northeast Vietnam

Regions like Ha Giang and Cao Bang are fantastic places for those wishing to go somewhere a little different. Few tourists ever visit them, but with five to eight days and a provided four-wheeled vehicle, you can see some virtually untouched places.

Who’s Hue?

Hue is south of Hanoi, and is an ancient Vietnamese capital. You will want a few days to have a look around and visit some of the breath-taking temples in the area.

Shop in Hoi An

This is the place to go for excellent quality tailored clothes at great prices. Shop around and enjoy the beautiful streets of Hoi An. If you have got time, wander down to the beach, which is quite nice.

Submerge yourself in Nha Trang

This large town has a number of excellent beaches. They are great for scuba diving, so you might want to stay four or five days to get the most out of your visit. If you don’t like scuba diving then a couple of days should be all you need to have a look around.

Saigon

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

Drift along with the Mekong Delta

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

Don’t pass up Phu Quoc Island

This island is located just south of Cambodia and is like a little piece of paradise. Though it is growing commercially, it is still unspoiled and can offer clear waters and beautiful, long beaches.
