Vietnam

Perhaps it was difficult for you to choose Vietnam as your vacation destination, perhaps the weight of thirty years of war or the idea of poverty made you doubt, but we can assure you that everything is changing in this Asian country and that you will not regret it at all. On your trip, adventure is guaranteed, and with the Globetrotting guide in your hand you will be able to live it consciously, at your own pace, enjoying it in every way. In the General chapter, which we recommend that you read before leaving, you will find everything you need to prepare your trip, from the documentation or vaccinations you need, to how to make yourself understood, to what to eat or how to communicate with people. The tour of Vietnam that we have designed for you begins in the north of the country, from Hanoi, where time seems to stand still in a traditional rural landscape of conical hats and buffalo-drawn plows, to Mount Fasipan. We continue through the center, from the Phong Nha ke Bang Natural Park to Da Nang, on the coast. The south of the country brings our trip to an end, from Ho Chi Minh City (the ancient and mythical Saigon), where the economic takeoff is already evident and the American presence has left deep traces, to the Mekong Delta. Along with the essential information on how to get around or what to visit, with detailed practical information, you will find invaluable reviews on places to sleep, eat, shop or have tea, with all the information and, most importantly, the sensations and opinions that our team of editors have sent us after having experienced it in situ. If we add to this the maps and plans that you will find throughout the guide, of each area, each city, each corner of the country... we believe that the Globetrotters guide is the best company to get to know Vietnam geographically and culturally, and also the best way to get closer to the Vietnamese, the true wealth of the country.
