Not only does Vietnam have a rich diversity of places to see,
but also enjoys a vast and beautiful coastline, mist shrouded mountains, mighty rivers and
cascading waterfalls.
Whether your passion is for history, scenery, food or
culture the delicate tapestry of this nation will offer you
all of this and much more besides.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
Vibrant and dynamic Ho Chi Minh City is the cultural
heart of the nation. The largest and most energetic city in
Vietnam it is a rich melting pot of culture and traditions,
an electric mix of street markets, cafes and shops
rubbing shoulders with restored colonial buildings and
shiny new developments. During late January and early
February the Tet (Lunar New Year) Festival takes place
and this can be an exciting if chaotic time to visit!
Ho Chi Minh City is a tumultuous jumble of traffic,
people and architectural styles-its impossible not
to be infected by the buzz of freewheeling old Saigon.

Hanoi
The capital of Vietnam and one of the hidden gems of
South East Asia, Hanoi retains an elegance and charm
not often found in this part of the world, the city’s
French influence is to be seen in the fine old colonial
buildings and tree lined boulevards. With a laid back
pace it’s a great place to sit at a pavement café
and watch life pass by.

Cu Chi Tunnels
Close to Ho Chi Minh stands an amazing complex
of underground tunnels that formed an underground
city of sleep quarters, armaments, kitchens and command centres which at its peak housed up to 10,000 people. Crawl along the serpentine passageways, descend deep into the tunnel complex and search for the elusive hidden trap door.
