Places To See In Vietnam

By J. M. Maurette

Explore Hanoi

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?

One of the ancient capitals of Vietnam is the city of Hue. Take the time to explore the temples in this area, some of them will simply take your breath away.

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

Hop in a boat and check out the floating markets of the Mekong Delta.

Phu Quoc Island - Leave the best for last

The island of Phu Quoc, which exists a little way south of Cambodia, is a tropical paradise. Crystal clear waters and endless beaches have not been spoiled by the rise in commercialism in the area.
