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.

At 35km from Hô Chi Minh, the Củ Chi Tunnels are a dark reminder of the Vietnam War.
Formed after the construction of a hydroelectric dam, Lake Thac Ba offers a uniquely beautiful landscape dotted with hundreds of small islands and is one of the country's largest bodies of water.
Đà Nẵng is a city located in the centre of Vietnam.
170 km from Ho Chi Minh, Can Tho is in the heart of the Mekong delta. It's a prosperous town that is developing quickly but it's a pleasant place to stay.
25 km from Vinh Long or 45 km from My Tho, on the banks of the Mekong, Cái Bè is a pretty and authentic town. It has one of the most typical floating markets of the delta.
At 285km from Hô Chi Minh, Chau Doc is situated at the north of the Mékong Delta. It's an enjoyable town close to Mount Sam, one of the many reasons why it's worth a visit.
A popular destination on this part of the Vietnamese coastline, Phan Thiet is known for its lighthouse and its red sand dunes.
