Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s most beautiful countries, attracting travellers from all over the world to marvel at its lush mountains, bustling cities, and golden-white-and beaches with pristine waters. If you are looking for a holiday packed with stunning, tropical weather, delicious eastern cuisine, and a friendly and accommodating hospitality from the locals, then Vietnam is a must-visit destination.
Despite the rapid modernisation of Vietnam’s urban centres of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, time-honoured traditions remain intact amongst the locals and there is a rich cultural tapestry to be experienced. For those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities however, there are plenty of gorgeous beach-side and tropical island spots where you can escape to paradise.
There are numerous ancient landmarks, museums, and colonial structures that have survived as a reminder of the war that took place in Vietnam many years ago. If you are a history enthusiast and wish to get a deeper understanding of what the Vietnamese people have gone through, you will find plenty of historical gems to explore.
