Vietnam, Southeast Asia’s gem, is quickly becoming one of the more popular tourist destinations in the world. Despite its turbulent past, Vietnam is today a country of optimism and hope with an improving economy, a wealth of tourist attractions, and miles of sandy beaches. Travellers book flights to Vietnam to explore its majestic cities and relax on its sandy white beaches.
Your flight to Vietnam will either arrive in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh. Both cities welcome tourism and offer visitors luxury hotels, world-class restaurants, museums and nightclubs, though Hanoi is much more low-key and less westernized than Ho Chi Minh. In Hanoi, walk around the lakes and parks of the city then stop by one of its stunning ancient temples like the Ngoc Son Temple. Ho Chi Minh, on the other hand, is a lot more chaotic and its main attractions revolve around fashionable boutiques and chic cafes. After spending time in one of the lively main cities, most travellers head for the beaches, mountains or the caves of Ha Long Bay.
