Why visit Vietnam?

Vietnam offers a compelling blend of historic cities, dramatic coastlines, terraced highlands, and a dynamic contemporary culture, all threaded together by welcoming hospitality.

What to expect

From the tree-lined boulevards of Hanoi and the riverside bustle of Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang's beachfront and nearby heritage towns, you can move easily between urban energy, countryside calm, and coastal escapes.

Plan your trip

Vietnam is ideal for multi-city journeys, with Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City forming a natural north–central–south route, and it also serves as a convenient gateway to explore the wider Indochina region.

Top experiences in Vietnam

Old Quarter and lakes of Hanoi

Wander Hanoi's Old Quarter, then slow down by Hoan Kiem Lake and West Lake to see the city's blend of colonial architecture, leafy shorelines, and everyday street life.

Riverside life in Ho Chi Minh City

Stroll along the Saigon River, explore historic landmarks and contemporary galleries, then end the day with skyline views from one of the city's many rooftop spots.

Where to unwind

Relax on long sandy beaches near Da Nang, escape to lakes and parks around Hanoi, or unwind in Ho Chi Minh City's greener districts and nearby riverside retreats, where spas and resorts offer calm between days of exploring.

A taste of Vietnam

National dishes & specialties

Signature dishes such as noodle soups, fresh rolls, and rice-based plates vary by region, with Hanoi known for northern classics, Hue and the central coast for refined royal-era recipes, and Ho Chi Minh City for bold, southern flavours.

Across Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City you can eat at simple street-side spots, contemporary bistros, and creative cafes, often on the same street, making it easy to sample both traditional family recipes and modern interpretations.

Signature & scenic dining

Enjoy meals in colonial-era villas, by riverfront promenades, along seafront boulevards in Da Nang, or high above the city in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where skyline and coastal views turn dinner into a memorable occasion.

Best time to visit Vietnam

Vietnam's weather varies between north, centre, and south, but you can think in three broad travel seasons. From December to March, the north can be cool to mild at around 15–20°C (59–68°F) while the south is warm and dry at about 28–32°C (82–90°F); this period is generally the peak season. April to August is usually warmer countrywide, with many central and northern destinations experiencing 25–33°C (77–91°F) and more sunshine, especially on the coast, making this a popular shoulder season. September to November often brings more rain in some regions and fewer visitors, with temperatures around 22–30°C (72–86°F), especially in the north and centre, so it is typically considered the low season, though you can still find pleasant conditions, particularly in the south.
