Vietnam

Hanoi is a bustling city with a great foodie scene and friendly locals. The city is also the launchpad to the limestone cliffs of Halong Bay and the rice terraces of Sapa.

For the ones looking for something a little less touristy, take a motorcycle ride around Hagiang Loop, or visit the backpacker-friendly Cat Ba National Park for a more local vibe and the same views as Halong Bay. You can also visit Vietnam's historic capital of Ninh Binh on a day trip from Hanoi for a chilled-out rowboat trip amidst rice terraces. 

Apart from being a city with delicious food and exciting nightlife, Ho Chi Minh is also steeped in some of the most significant modern history in the world. Visit its many museums, as well as the Cu Chi Tunnels, to learn more about the period of reunification in Vietnam. 

If you find yourself longing for nature after spending many days in the city, visit Cat Tien National Park, home to diverse wildlife or visit Mekong Delta for a village stay with friendly locals. Mui Ne is also a popular day trip location for its sand dunes and beaches.

A must-do for any first-time visitor to Da Nang is climbing the steps to the top of Marble Mountains, where they can enjoy spectacular views across Non Nuoc Beach or My Khe Beach.

Located in the south of Vietnam, Da Lat is a top destination for domestic honeymooners.
