Explore the surroundings

Destination introduction

Relatively untouched by tourism, Vietnam is a stunning, exciting country just waiting to be explored. Relax on a pristine white-sand beach or take a tour to discover a unique culture and extraordinary sights.

Between the bustling centres of Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City in the south, Vietnam is a slender country of jungles, rice fields, beaches and bays, mesmerisingly beautiful and completely enthralling.

Vietnam holiday highlights

• Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a young, fun city dotted with boulevards, churches and villas from its French colonial days. Enjoy superb nightlife, restaurants and shopping.
• Explore Hanoi, Vietnam's ancient, conservative and traditional capital. Feel the Chinese influence in the old artisan quarters, temples, puppet theatres and lakeside pagodas. There's also a French feel in areas, such as the Colonial Offices and the French quarter with its shuttered windows.
• Visit legendary imperial capital Hue, once an awe-inspiring complex of gilded pavilions, lily ponds and terraced gardens that was partly destroyed during the 1968 Tet Offensive.
• Bask in total tranquillity on the idyllic beaches of Phan Thiet and Nha Trang, and take in the natural beauty of Halong Bay.

Vietnam - The Essentials

• Dress respectably when visiting temples – long trousers for men; covered shoulders for women.
• Couples should avoid public displays of affection.
• Refrain from using camcorders in temples and local villages.
• Avoid losing your temper whilst haggling at markets.
• Never point your feet towards religious images.
