Vietnam
An expansive coastline of tropical beaches and secluded coves surround a heart that is bursting with vibrant cities and fragrant floating markets. A holiday in Vietnam will certainly satisfy a desire for wanderlust!
From the delightfully frenetic Ho Chi Minh city to the enchanting and ancient capital, Hanoi, Vietnam’s cities are both intriguing and exhilarating. Hiring a bicycle to explore the imperial citadel in Hue is well worth doing, as is making time to stop in historic Hoi An where, if you time it right, you can join the locals in lighting a lantern to mark the full moon.
Lap up the atmosphere of the floating markets along the Mekong Delta, experience life along the Mekong’s riverbank on a guided canal tour and soak up the breathtaking views of Halong Bay from a traditional junk boat. When you tire of inland exploration, Vietnam’s expansive coastline and dazzling outlying islands offer unrivalled sun-blushed respite where porcelain sands are lapped by tropical waters. Perfect for long days spent diving amongst the corals.
