Things To Do In Vietnam

Posted on 24. May, 2011 by admin.

Vietnam is a nation of vivid colours, stunning landscapes, a divine coastline, world famous cuisine and optimistic and fiercely proud people. If you want a real flavor of South East Asia, and you want to avoid the tourist tat of Thailand, then Vietnam is one hell of a place to visit. Before you go ahead and book your holiday to Vietnam or anywhere in fact, it is a good idea to check out travel insurance offers. This may seem like an extra cost but it is worth looking into for peace of mind on your holiday. Go to http://endsleigh.co.uk for some great offers today.

Here are some of the top things to do and see whilst you’re in Vietnam:

Take a junk boat tour of Halong Bay
A UNESCO World Heritage sit, with stunning rocky outcrops, turquoise water and secret lagoons – Halong Bay is not to be missed. Visit the stunning caves or hop in a kayak to explore via paddle power. Three days or more are recommended, if only for the stunning, freshly caught seafood that’s on offer every day.

Tailoring and Taste in Hoi An
Visit Hoi An for a true taste of Vietnam; fresh flavours, cookery courses and some of the country’s finest restaurants. Historic Hoi An has plenty to see and do – from sacred temples and historic buildings through to getting some personally tailored clothes for your travelling wardrobe.

Happening Hanoi
Hanoi is a city that has something for everyone and is a heady mix of old oriental and modern chic. Motorbikes are everywhere so watch out but don’t let the busy hustle of the city put you off exploring. Take in one of the many art galleries, pick up some silk goods at one of the markets or learn more about Vietnam’s history in one of the fantastic museums.

Vietnam’s sights don’t end there – why not visit the fabulous beaches at Nha Trang, take a cycle tour of Ho Chi Minh City, stay in a traditional stilt house in Mai Chau or visit Hue, the intellectual and spiritual heart of Vietnam. Make sure you do your research beforehand, because you don’t want to miss out on all that this amazing country has to offer.
