Step out of your luxury hotel and you’re plunged into another world. If
cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City seem like nowhere else on earth, so does
the landscape. From the spectacular and surreal islands of Halong Bay, to the
towns on stilts of the Mekong Delta, you’ll want to explore every part of this
fascinating country. With its unique mix of French and Asian cuisine, historic
pagodas and temples aplenty, Vietnam is a feast for all the senses.
Emerald mountains, gorgeous coastline and energetic cities where Chinese
and Indian cultures come together.
Any time of year is good to visit Vietnam. The north in particular has four
distinct seasons, while the central region of the country can experience
monsoons during September to February. If you’d like to see the country join
together for one mass party, try to come during Tet, the celebration of the New
Year. Dates change every year, but Tet normally occurs between late January and
early March.
You don’t need to buy bus tickets via travel agents in the cities as they
may mark up prices – just head for the bus stations and start exploring the
vast landscape.
