Vietnam tailor-made holiday highlights



Hanoi
Located in the north of Vietnam, the elegant capital city has many highlights including the Temple of Literature and the hectic alleys of the Old Quarter. Another attraction is the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where the former leader's body is displayed in a glass box. Or simply sit at a cafe and soak up the French colonial feel.

Hoi An
A beautiful riverside town, situated halfway up the coast. Once one of South-East Asia's major international trading ports, Hoi Ann has a great sense of history amongst its streets of crumbling houses. Explore pagodas, Vietnamese and Chinese temples and the ornate Japanese Covered Bridge. Browse tailors and handicraft shops at night when the old town is lit with the soft glow of paper lanterns.

Halong Bay & Beaches
Halong Bay
's romantic landscape is made up of limestone karsts rising from a green sea. Nearby, the country's beaches are just opening up to tourism, but many offer excellent snorkelling and diving. Nha Trang is a lively resort, while Phu Quoc is really a paradise and Mui Ne is quieter, with multi-coloured Saharan-style sand dunes.

The Cu Chi Tunnels

One of the most visited sites in Vietnam, where Viet Cong guerrillas fighting the Americans lived in a series of complex tunnels – originally built during the earlier war with the French – which zigzag from the southern tip of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, near Cambodia, to the Saigon River.

The Mekong Delta
Explore the floating markets, a sea of conical hats, where locals trade pumpkin with pineapple or sit sipping noodle soup. Gaze at the emerald rice paddies, fruit orchards and coconut palms.
