Our journey through Vietnam took us from the busy streets of Hanoi and spectacular limestone landscapes of Halong Bay to the beaches and mountains of Da Nang, the lantern-filled streets of Hoi An and the energy of Ho Chi Minh City. We explored historic sites and colourful markets, cruised through incredible scenery, discovered some unforgettable local food and experienced just how different each region can feel as you travel from north to south. These guides share the places and experiences we loved, the things we’d happily do again and the practical lessons we picked up along the way.
