Vietnam

Vietnam travel is a vibrant mix of ancient culture, street food, and stunning landscapes. Whether you’re sipping coffee in Ho Chi Minh City, exploring imperial Hue, or cruising Ha Long Bay, Vietnam has something for every traveller.

I journeyed South to North in April–May 2025—from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, and Hanoi—and this guide shares my top tips, local finds, and must-see spots to help you plan the perfect trip.
