A destination that is growing in popularity is Vietnam,
mainly because of what the country has to offer. From the Vibrant Colonial
Cities to some of the most wonderful beaches in Asia. Recently Vietnam airlines
started offering direct flights from London Gatwick to both Hanoi and Saigon
making travelling there much easier. Due to the size of the country and in
order to see as much as possible many people opt to do a
Vietnam Tour
spending a few days in each place. It is however easy to get from place to place
with various daily flights so a
Vietnam Multi Centre Holiday is also a great option to
explore the country at your own pace.
Northern Vietnam where you will find the capital city of
Hanoi, the pace of life is a lot slower compared to the hustle and bustle of
many other cities in Asia. You can spend your day wandering the Colonial streets and visit the Old Quarter which houses many merchant shops
such a Jewellers, silk traders, shoe shops, tailors etc. You can also
experience the magnificent cuisine from the various restaurants in the area.
Hanoi is also home to the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh the former leader of
Vietnam, visit this in the morning between 9am and Noon. Around 3 hours
from the city take a trip to the magnificent Halong Bay where you can board a
private junk boat and take a day cruise or even spend a couple of days cruising
amongst the thousands of limestone islands. Northern Vietnam can be quite cool
between December and February with the rest of the year being great weather.
From Hanoi you can fly down to Central Vietnam where there
are some stunning beach resorts. The most popular being Hoi An which is a large
resort there, very popular for all travellers whether you want to stay in a
small b&b or a luxury 5 star resort. The old town of Hoi An is a
UNESCO heritage site and is a very popular place to visit either In the day or
of an evening to enjoy the local cuisine and culture. You can also visit the coastal
resorts of Danag and Hue. Hue is the old imperial capital which has many
historical attractions from the Tomb of the Emperors and the Imperial Citadel.
If you are looking for something more fast paced visit Ho
Chi Minh City (Saigon) from here you can take a river cruise down the Mekong
Delta and visit the famous Cu Chi tunnels, a network of tunnels where the Viet
Cong Guerillas lived during combat for months on end. If you are brave enough
you can go down into the tunnels to get a true feel of what it was like to stay
there. Ho Chi Minh City is the perfect place to learn about the compelling
military history of Vietnam, take a visit to the War Remnants Museum,
Reunification Palace and the Ho Chi Minh Museum. Southern Vietnam is also home
to some wonderful beach resorts. You can take a short flight from Saigon or take
drive which takes a few hours. One of the most popular beach resorts is Nha
Trang, an old fishing village with some fantastic beach front hotels suitable
for all and an ideal retreat from the Cities. The best time to travel to the
South would be between November and April.
