Hanoi – The Cultural Capital
Start your journey in Hanoi, Vietnam’s captivating capital. Stroll through the Old Quarter’s narrow lanes, admire French colonial architecture, and indulge in authentic Vietnamese street food. The mix of history, culture, and modern life gives Hanoi its timeless charm.
Hoi An – Ancient Beauty and Tranquility

Here, you’ll experience Vietnam’s artistic heart with tailor-made clothing shops, charming cafes, and peaceful riverside views. Many of our Vietnam holiday packages include a few nights in Hoi An to let you unwind and soak in the local atmosphere.
Ho Chi Minh City – Vibrant and Energetic
Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s commercial hub, where modern skyscrapers stand beside historic French buildings. Enjoy the buzzing street markets, rooftop bars, and delicious local cuisine. From here, you can easily explore the Mekong Delta, where floating markets and lush canals showcase Vietnam’s agricultural soul.
The Magic of Halong Bay Cruises in Vietnam
No trip to Vietnam is complete without experiencing a Halong Bay cruise Vietnam. Located in northern Vietnam, this UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for its emerald waters and thousands of limestone karsts rising dramatically from the sea.
Choose from day trips or multi-night cruises, where you can kayak through caves, visit fishing villages, and watch breathtaking sunsets over the water. For a more exclusive experience, explore the quieter Lan Ha Bay – equally beautiful but less crowded.
