When to go

The best time to visit Vietnam mostly depends on what you'd like to see and when you have time to go. There are a few places where it would be ill advised to visit at a few specific times because of the weather and some relatively undiscovered (uncrowded) times with gorgeous weather. (read more)

Where to go

Hanoi: Capital and the second largest city of Vietnam, just about everywhere but especially the Old Quarter with good local atmosphere, the French Quarter and Hoan Kiem lake area.

Sapa: Surrounded by beautiful scenery, Sapa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the views. Sapa is an awesome place for adventurous activities from trekking, cycling to motorbike trips to explore the mountainous region and visit the villages and markets of the ethnic minorities.

Halong Bay (an UNESCO World Heritage): Undoubtly among the most popular tourist destinations of Vietnam offering both for the magnificent views of the bay and the relaxing boat trips.

Hue: As the former capital of the emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, Hue has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Site, and a trip to Hue is not complete without a visit to the ancient citadel and imperial palace.

Danang: The fourth largest city, Danang offers tourists with an ideal natural location, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and the ocean, including the Hai Van pass to the north, the South China Sea to the east, Ba Na mountains to the west, and the Son Tra Peninsula with Nui Son Tra (Monkey Mountain) to the northeast.

Hoi An - Hoi An is known not only for its old-world atmosphere and architecture but also for its cheap tailors, quaint restaurants serving delicious Hoi An specialties, and relaxed atmosphere, as well as the nearby beach.

Nha Trang - lies in a beautiful bay on the south central coast of Vietnam. Nha Trang is also known as one of the best places in Vietnam for snorkling and diving, and tours are arranged year-round, although visibility is worse during the rainy season.

HCMC: Set on the Saigon River, Ho Chi Minh is a sprawling city, with myriads of rivers and canals, although most tourists spend most of their time in the central districts.Trips: Mekong Delta. Vung Tau by hydrofoil buys tickets from the booths on the riverfront. Cao Dai temple (very beautiful and apparently unusual- I have to admit I have not been but the pictures I have seen confirms)

'Uhm I will come back. Yes very soon’

Xin chao (hello) – the first word you say when you meet somebodyIt is the same in Vietnamese. But you can also say ‘Xin chao’ (goodbye) with a hand wave when you want to say goodbye with somebody.

If you think it is difficult to say ‘Xin chao’, you can just say ‘Chao’. All Vietnamese people can understand what you want to say, and you then always receive two things in return. The first is a ‘Xin chao’ or ‘Chao’ from them, and the second is a smile.Incidentally,

you may not know that in Italian saying Chao is to say hello. It is interesting!

There is a businessman who can speak many languages. He can speak German with his competitors, English with his colleages, French with his parents, Italian with his lover and finally he can speak Vietnamese with his friends

Xin chao once again to welcome you to Vietnam, the country of peace and smiles.Come to see and enjoy life, people, nature and customs of Vietnamese people.

Come to see and enjoy a country of peace and hospitablity.Come to remote areas to see children innocent eyes openning with hands waving you when they randamly see you.

Perhaps, they don’t understand what you are saying but they probly know how to say ‘Hello’.Oh yes, openning eyes, waving hands with unclear “hello” are waiting for you.

Why are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate! Come even you have only one day, just to be happy, enjoyable, smily , and just to say ‘Uhm I will come back. Yes very soon’.

We never say ‘goodbye’ but we are waiting for you to some.
Thanks for coming with us.
