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.

Nha Trang is a coastal resort, aimed at families, with its own water park. If you go there, you'll encounter a lot of Russians.
