Hanoi Ahoy!
If you are looking for one of the best tourist attractions for your Vietnam holidays, Hanoi is probably it. This big bustling city may seem a bit confronting at first, but give it a week or two and it will grow on you. Visit the famous must see Perfume Pagoda, and nearby Ha Long Bay and Sapa. Another great tourist destination the Old District.
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?
South of Hanoi is the ancient Vietnamese capital known as Hue. Take a few days to have a wander and see the sights, especially some of the wonderful old temples around the place.
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.
Welcome to Saigon!
Also known as Ho Chi Minh, this is the business center of Vietnam. If you thought Hanoi was loud and chaotic, this place is even more so! Like Hanoi, it has plenty to 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.
