Highlight of our trip to Vietnam? Street vendors are one of the many landmarks that captures anyone's eyes, they sell pretty much anything from fresh fruits to flower and noodle soup.
Hanoi, is very peacefull as well.
Hoi an and Hue are full of history.
Nha Trang has a crystal clear water and Ho chi minh city is a sample of a megapolis city.
Vietnam has been on my bucket list of countries to visit since I saw a photo of rice terraces in Sapa back to 2001 when I was only 18.
The country has its own unique history and natural wonders like Halong bay, there are so many beauties to explore, this country has many things to anyone with any style and character.
Coming to Vietnam for holiday is not all about war memories, visiting the world famous sites, participate in national ceremonies and so on, Vietnam is a country with wonderful attractions, food culture and a great contrast between modernity and the traditional way of living.
My family and I started our Trip to Vietnam in Hanoi, and ended up in the Saigon.
What are the best tourist attractions? I would suggest visiting the Mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh and surrounded parkland in Ba Dinh Square, this place represents the burial place of the Ho Chi Minh, the leader of new Vietnam who died in 1969.
Vietnam is full of many temples and pagoda, just like any Asian country, but, my favorite pagoda was literature temple as it marked the first university of Vietnam dating back to 1000 years ago.
In Sapa we loved home stay because it gave us the extra bonus to experience living with locals, Halong Bay was such an amazing place, the cruises are vary from low budget of 50 $ to up to 1000 $ for 2 days 1 night stay, we chooses one that our agent has suggested (of course based on our budget).
Hue and Hoi An were impressive specially the cooking classes and the pleasant walking in the old town at night.
Ho Chi Minh city was hot while Hanoi and other cities were cooler, this city is almost about anything to do and to see.
We took 2 days and 1 night trip to Mekong delta and we enjoyed our time a lot.
Sleep Our trip to Vietnam was arranged without any hassle, we stayed in nice hotels all with good location and walking distances within the old town, specially the one in Ho Chi Minh City, there are many tourists from anywhere, we had some good talks with a couple from Melbourne who chooses Vietnam as their holiday destination.
Eat Vietnamese foods are tasty, the street foodies are just everywhere, fruit stalls too, we tried Vietnamese BBQ and the noodle soup and tried fish and the spring rolls in Saigon.
Any tips for other travelers making their holidays to Vietnam? Have your visa in advance, get vaccinated for malaria and yellow fever before you go to Vietnam and prepare for a raincoat if you travel in rainy season.
