Viet Nam

Vietnam is a bargain hunter's paradise with markets almost on every corner. Ben Thanh Market is one of those markets which is a must go when you are here. It's so much more than just a place to shop as you will see.

Mornings in Da Lat are quite cold and the fog lingers just enough to create a dreamy landscape. Believe it or not, this climate has created a distinct morning food culture. A hot breakfast to counter the cold weather as you enjoy Da Lat’s rolling hills and slow pace will surely make you a morning person and maybe even a lifelong Da Lat local.

You must be even more careful checking your bike before purchase. If something like the horn or wheel is not functioning, try to negotiate down the price. You can even have the bike checked by a mechanic to ensure that it’s in good shape.

For travelers, the floating markets are not only something to admire but also a must if you seriously want to explore the uniqueness of the giant maze that is the Mekong Delta.

Trekking deep into the forest, uncovering the nocturnal animals at night, and exploring the ethnic group's lifestyle is within your reach when you visit Cat Tien National Park. Vietnam’s national parks should not be missed and this is definitely one to add to the list.

A biosphere reserve in the central Vietnam East Sea, Cham island should not be missed if you’ll be in the area. Islands with wild beauty, friendly citizens, and interesting underwater activities will mark a colorful page in your journey diary.

The noisy life of the mainland does not surpass that of the waves and ocean, so Con Dao is ideal for a getaway. Just taking one step into this paradise island will make you not want to leave it ever again.

Use this guide to help you navigate your way through the Da Nang International Airport.

If you’re looking for a place where few tourists have ventured, Vietnam’s Central Highlands should be on your radar. Close to Laos and Cambodia, this area is best explored with an open mind, an open itinerary, and an open road in front of your motorbike.

If you have plenty of time in the north of Vietnam, think about visiting several cities, even if some of them are not on the widely traveled tourist map! There, in the summer, don’t forget to drop by Hai Phong - the city of red poinciana flowers.
