Hanoi - the capital city - has maintained an old-world charm. The Old Quarter is a riot of delicious food vendors, markets, and winding lanes. Exotic adventures in the middle of rice terraces and the grand mountains of Yen Bai, Sapa, Ha Giang, and Cao Bang. Immerse yourself in the culture market of Bac Ha.
Ho Chi Minh City - Saigon has a more modern edge, although the UNESCO-protected village of Hoi An has retained its beauty despite the influx of tourists. Vietnam's natural treasures are magical, from Ha Long Bay to the Mekong Delta and the beaches of Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc, Con Dao.
Vietnam's diversity is one of its distinguishing features, from the northern mountains and the laid-back central coastline to the exotic flood plains of the southern provinces. Vietnam's geography makes it a year-round destination, so there is always a good time to visit.
