There are also interesting museums and beautiful parks to visit here. Just be mindful of your belongings because there are too many people here and we don’t want to lose our valuables.

Nha Trang

Relax in the beach, visit the markets and enjoy the nightlife. We loved the vibes in Nha Trang.

Hoi An

This is our favorite place in Vietnam. Just rent a bicycle and get lost around this small city. You can visit the beach, try local food, meet other travelers and most importantly, connect with local people. Don’t forget to also stop by and walk around local markets.

Hanoi

Enjoy the capital of Vietnam! Drink coffee in the afternoon and beer at night. Have fun walking around the lakes and their beautiful sunsets. It can be little bit busy in peak hours but very relaxing at night time.

Halong Bay

This is included in one of the 7 wonders of the world. It’s a perfect place for a getaway, picture taking, cave visitation and kayaking. A cruise around Halong Bay is also a must-try. We enjoyed it so much! 

Sapa

This is a perfect place for hiking for a couple of days. You can stay in a home stay and drink happy water. It was great to have an opportunity to know how local people live in the mountain. You will surely have a good time watching the beautiful landscapes and rice fields.

Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike

Another great adventure you can try is a Vietnam motorcycle trip buying or renting a motorbike and traveling from Hanoi to Saigon and vice versa. Visit remote villages and there you’ll see splendid landscapes.
