Vietnam

Travellers head to Vietnam for an authentic slice of Southeast Asia, from the busy, vibrant streets of Hanoi to the pristine beaches of Phu Quoc Island. In between you’ll find lush paddy fields and hillside terraces, and a stunning, mountainous interior.

The city streets hum with life and colour, but if it becomes overpowering, you can easily get away from it all and out to the traditional villages and quiet countryside of the Mekong Delta. Lovely Buddhist temples dot the landscape, while awe-inspiring natural wonders are to be found at Halong Bay, where thousands of tree-topped limestone monoliths rise majestically from the blue waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.
