Best places to visit in Vietnam

Vietnam will surprise you with all the different sides that it offers to all those lucky enough to step foot there. It's difficult to decide on which sites to visit as the big country has so many unexpected resources but the advice of travellers from Evaneos Travel will help you to determine what you want and to create a trip which is even better than you expected. 

Certainly, Ha Long Bay is the most famous tourist attraction in Vietnam, but the countryside around Phong Nha Ke Bang or even the historic city of Hue are also jewels of Vietnam. 

One thing is certain, the smile of the Vietnamese people will accompany you everywhere you go and the people you meet during your trip will give you a warm welcome. Sharing moments with people of ethnic minorities will remain an unforgettable experience full of authenticity.

If you like dynamic cities, you'll enjoy the capital Hanoi and the modern city of Saigon. Culturally rich, these lively cities will allow you to observe the expansion of the country and to immerse yourself in the history of Vietnam so as to better understand its inhabitants and the transformation now. 

Those who love nature will be overwhelmed... Between the majestic mountains of the North of the country and the several national parks, flora and fauna have the place of honour in Vietnam. By motorbike or by foot, exploring these landscapes untouched by civilisation is a delight. Paddy fields change colour according to the season and are a natural beauty that you can only love to admire. 

If you want to run aground on an island, eat fresh fish and enjoy the calm: the tourist island of Phu Quoc or the wild islands of Cham are worth the journey and offer a change of scene.

Lao Cai is a town that overlooks China.
Bac Ha is a village in northern Vietnam, a quiet and peaceful village except on Sunday mornings, which is market day, attracting all the ethnic minorities to the area.
Sapa , a tourist trap...
The city of Ninh Binh serves as a place to spend a quick overnight stop before heading on to the Hạ Long Bay area.
Haiphong, is an industrial port which is the departure point for excursions to Ha Long bay and Cat Ba island.
Hội An is a city lying on the banks of the Thu Bồn River in central Vietnam. Its historic old town area is famous for its unique architecture.
About 100 km from Ho Chi Minh, Tay Ninh is the centre of an interesting religion called Cao Daism.
At 35km from Hô Chi Minh, the Củ Chi Tunnels are a dark reminder of the Vietnam War.
Vinh Long is the capital of the province that bears its name, situated in the Mékong Delta, in southern Vietnam.
25 km from Vinh Long or 45 km from My Tho, on the banks of the Mekong, Cái Bè is a pretty and authentic town. It has one of the most typical floating markets of the delta.
Dien Bien Phu city, capital of the province with the same name, is not in itself a tourist destination but constitutes a vestige of the war in Indochina.
My Son and its temples will plunge you into the Cham Dynasty's world.
75 km from Hanoi in the direction of Dien Bien Phu, Hoa Binh is a small town with absolutely nothing worth seeing.
60 km from Hoa Binh on the road to Dien Bien Phu, is the village of Mai Chau whose principal point of interest is the superb countryside around it.
At 285km from Hô Chi Minh, Chau Doc is situated at the north of the Mékong Delta. It's an enjoyable town close to Mount Sam, one of the many reasons why it's worth a visit.
Mui Né is a fishing village and small seaside town. The scenery is very varied but the sand dunes give it an air of being in the desert. When I was in Vietnam, it was love at first sight for me.
Lake Ba Be is an incredible natural site, while the lush landscapes that surround it gives the lake a charming, wild edge. A calm, revitalising location, far from the hustle and bustle of the cities, Ba Be has retained its authenticity.
Hoa Lu is 8 km from Ninh Binh and in the heart of what is known as Ha Long on Land. Breathtaking scenery which you must discover.
The Mekong Delta is the area in South Vietnam where the Mekong River forms a multitude of islands before finally flowing into the South China Sea. 
Off the classic tourist trail, Bai Tu Long Bay is an extension of Ha Long Bay.
