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.

Dong Hoi, is the stopover town for going to Vietnam's famous Phong Nha Ke Bang national park. It is full of all sorts of hotels and is popular with Vietnamese holidaymakers.
Ha Long is a town in northern Vietnam, famous for a stunning bay that opens onto the Gulf of Tonkin.
Y Linh Ho, a breathtaking panoramic view over the terraced rice fields of the black Hmongs.
Lak Lake is a lake in the Dak Lak region, close to Buôn Ma Thuột, in central Vietnam's High Plateaus.
Noi Bai is the biggest airport in the north of Vietnam. It is 45 km north of the centre of Hanoi.
Dai Lanh is a small coastal town situated sixty kilometres north of Nha Trang. It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful beaches in this region of Vietnam.
The Thiên Mụ Pagoda is the emblem of the city of Huế. Standing perched atop a hill, it looks out over the Perfume River and offers wonderful views of the mountains.
The port city of Đà Nẵng is somewhere to stop at and visit when touring Vietnam, though I didn't find it really had much of interest to offer. The Marble Mountains and the Linh Ung Pagoda are in my opinion the two most interesting sites to see in the area around Đà Nẵng.
The name Vu Linh refers to a small village on the shores of Thac Ba Lake in Yên Bai Province.
Buôn Ma Thuộtest is the capital of Đắk Lắk Province, in Vietnam's Central Highlands region.

In the north of the country, Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam.
Phú Quốc is an island paradise located off the coast of South Vietnam.
This city is a fascinatingly diverse place. You quickly find yourself charmed by Its walled Imperial City, its inhabitants, its food and the presence of the Perfume River.
Tonlé Sap is South East Asia's largest lake and a real lifeblood for local Cambodians. as it provides food for almost the entire population in the surrounding area. 
Kuang Si Waterfall is the most visited and the most impressive waterfall of Laos. Situated near Luang Prabang, it is an essential part of any trip to Laos.
