Tips
- Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s best value destinations, excellent food, stunning scenery, and low costs.
- Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Da Nang, and Phong Nha are all worth visiting.
- The country is long and thin, many travellers fly between north and south rather than travelling the full length by land.
- Vietnamese food is outstanding, pho, banh mi, bun cha, and fresh spring rolls are must-tries.
- The best time to visit varies by region: October to April for the south, May to September for the north.
