Take the reins of your Vietnam trip and find a balance between guided tours and self-guided sightseeing. If you can, wake up early to watch the sunrise over Ha Long Bay! Phu Quoc is best to grab a chance to just relax by the pool or the beach while sipping a fresh coconut.

Your destinations —

Hanoi

Nestled in the northern heart of Vietnam, Hanoi boasts a history that stretches over a millennium, making it a captivating blend of ancient traditions and modern vitality. Its dynamic culture, picturesque landscapes, and warm hospitality invite exploration. Whether wandering through bustling streets or peaceful temples, Hanoi offers a remarkable journey into the soul of Vietnam.

 

 

Must-sees:

 

  • The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where the leader’s embalmed body rests, is a poignant tribute to Vietnam’s revolutionary history.
  • The serene Hoan Kiem Lake, surrounded by temples and parks, offers a tranquil escape in the city's heart.
  • The Temple of Literature, an ancient site of education, is a stunning example of Vietnamese architecture and heritage.

 

 

Culinary culture:

 

Hanoi is renowned for its culinary offerings, with street food playing a central role in the city’s vibrant food culture. Indulge in pho, a fragrant noodle soup, or enjoy the iconic banh mi, a fusion of French and Vietnamese ingredients. For a more authentic experience, seek out lesser-known dishes such as bun thang, a delicate noodle soup, or cha ca, a local fish dish. Eating here is an exploration of flavours, from spicy to savoury, ensuring an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.

 

 

Dive deeper:

 

For those seeking a richer cultural experience, venture beyond the main tourist sites. Explore the lesser-known Museum of Ethnology, where diverse tribal cultures of Vietnam are beautifully displayed. Take a walk through the Old Quarter’s labyrinthine streets, where centuries-old architecture mingles with local craft shops. A boat trip to the Trang An Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides a scenic backdrop to Hanoi’s cultural and natural beauty.

 

 

Good to know:

 

The local currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). The city experiences a humid subtropical climate, with the best times to visit being between September and November, when the weather is mild and pleasant. Hanoi is well-connected by a comprehensive public transport system, but taxis and motorbike rentals are also convenient options for navigating the city.

Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc, an island paradise in the Gulf of Thailand, offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural authenticity. Once a quiet retreat, the island is now a vibrant destination for both relaxation and adventure. Lined with white sandy beaches and surrounded by lush tropical jungle, Phu Quoc invites exploration beyond its burgeoning tourist spots.

 

 

Must-sees:

  • Long Beach, with its tranquil waters and sunsets, remains one of the island's most stunning stretches of sand.
  • The untouched beauty of Sao Beach provides a peaceful retreat, far from the bustling crowds.
  • The Vinpearl Safari, a sprawling wildlife reserve, offers a glimpse into the island’s diverse ecosystem.

 

 

Culinary culture:

Phu Quoc’s cuisine is defined by its fresh, coastal ingredients, with nuoc mam (fish sauce) being a key element. Locally made and globally revered, this high-quality fish sauce is an essential flavour in the island’s dishes. Seafood lovers will delight in freshly caught fish, crab, and shrimp, often grilled or prepared with fragrant herbs. For a truly local experience, visit one of the many beachside restaurants for a dinner of grilled fish or a delicious bowl of pho. The island is also famous for its black pepper, which adds a distinct flavour to both dishes and souvenirs.

For those keen to explore further, Phu Quoc offers a range of off-the-beaten-path experiences. Explore the island’s lush jungles on foot or by motorcycle, discovering hidden waterfalls and remote fishing villages. Dive beneath the surface to explore the vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, or take a boat tour to nearby islands. The island’s National Park is also home to a wealth of biodiversity, perfect for nature enthusiasts.

 

 

Good to know:

The Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the official currency. Phu Quoc enjoys a tropical climate, with the best time to visit being from November to March, when the weather is dry and mild. While tourism infrastructure is growing, there are still plenty of untouched areas. Public transport is limited, so renting a motorbike or using taxis is recommended for getting around the island.

Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, is Vietnam’s bustling economic and cultural epicentre. A dynamic metropolis, it fuses modernity with a rich historical legacy. From towering skyscrapers to historic French colonial architecture, the city is a melting pot of influences. Its vibrant energy permeates the streets, offering an exciting destination for travellers seeking a mix of tradition and innovation.

 

 

Must-sees:

  • The War Remnants Museum, a powerful historical site, offers an insightful look at Vietnam’s turbulent past.
  • Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, an iconic French colonial landmark, stands as a testament to the city’s architectural grandeur.
  • The Ben Thanh Market is perfect for exploring local crafts, food, and souvenirs in a lively atmosphere.

 

 

Culinary culture:

Ho Chi Minh City’s food scene is as diverse as its history. With its street food culture thriving, visitors can sample everything from sizzling pho and banh mi to lesser-known delights like com tam (broken rice with grilled pork) and hu tieu (noodle soup). The city also offers a range of fusion dishes, where Vietnamese flavours meet international influences. Whether dining at a high-end restaurant or a roadside stall, food in Ho Chi Minh City is an essential experience.

 

 

Dive deeper:

For a more authentic exploration, venture into the city’s less touristy districts. Discover the Cholon, Saigon’s Chinatown, where you can stroll through bustling markets and sample Chinese-Vietnamese delicacies. Visit the Jade Emperor Pagoda, a beautifully ornate temple steeped in local religious traditions. For a quiet retreat, explore the tranquil Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, one of the oldest zoos in the world, offering a glimpse into the city's history and natural beauty.

 

 

Good to know:

The currency used in Ho Chi Minh City is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). The best time to visit is during the dry season, from December to April, when temperatures are comfortable. While public transport is limited, taxis and motorbikes are popular and easy to use. The city is also home to numerous international airports, making it a well-connected gateway to Southeast Asia.
