Vietnam Travel Tips

Karst rocks and boats in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Vietnam stretches long and narrow between mountains, river deltas and a varied coastline. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are two very different metropolises, with historic towns, rice terraces, karst landscapes and islands in between. Our Vietnam travel tips include personal travel stories and advice for famous highlights and quieter destinations.

In the north, Sa Pa, Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay define the landscape. Hoi An combines a historic old town with rice fields and the coast, while the south offers big-city life, the Mekong region and islands such as Phu Quoc and Con Dao. Regional cuisine also changes noticeably between north, central Vietnam and the south.

We show you beautiful places, lively cities and landscapes that make a journey through the country especially varied. Our experiences help you choose suitable regions and allow enough time for Vietnam’s different sides.
