Come and discover why Vietnam is on so many people's bucket list. A vibrant country which offers so much variety, spectacular scenery, world heritage sites, history and fascinating people. I was fortunate to get to know both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh during my time in Vietnam. They are so different but each offers its own attractions. Hanoi is the cultural capital, while Ho Chi Minh is a vibrant modern city. Trekking in Sapa was amazing, not just the scenery but meeting the different ethnic people. The overnight sleeper train from Hanoi to Sapa is a hoot!
​
These are some of the most popular destinations to consider, for this wanting some time at the beach there are also some lovely islands such as Pho Quoc available.
