What is good to know if travelling to Vietnam?

• The Old Town of Hoi An is a UNESCO-listed town, which is not only a stunning little town to see but also the perfect place to get yourself a tailor-made outfit put together.
• If you’re trying to escape the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, Sa Pa is a great day trip destination, located 400 kilometers north of the city. Sa Pa’s locals are friendly and offer you a glimpse into authentic Vietnamese culture, but you can also pay a visit to the Bac Ha market on Sundays, which will submerge you into the culture of the Flowery H’mong ethnic minority people.
• If you’re keen on doing some swimming and snorkeling, the Con Dao Islands come highly recommended. In fact, they are prone to become Vietnam’s biggest diving center!
• Hanoi is the perfect place to admire the French colonial and Eastern history of Vietnam. You can spend an afternoon exploring the streets of Hanoi as you wander through the Old Quarter. Bear in mind traffic in Hanoi is generally pretty crowded though! However, there are great opportunities to head out to see the abundance of temples and galleries that can be found within the city.
• In order to get a broad-spectrum view of the Vietnamese provinces, you can opt to take a tour of the Mekong Delta, a 60, 000km long web of interconnecting waterways, spanning across Vietnam’s three provinces. This is one of the best ways to experience Delta life, and you’ll be fascinated by the little craft villages, mangroves, orchards, floating markets, and the Khmer Pagodas along the route.
• If you’re looking to experience a more relaxed vibe, then stop and chill out in Hue, a village often passed by along the Vietnam tourist trail. The area is beautiful and includes must-see sites with the likes of the Perfume River and the Imperial Citadel, not even mentioning the captivating experience to be had at the Tombs of the Emperors!
