What are the must-see steps of your tour in Vietnam?
Vietnam stretches over more than 1,650 kilometers from north to south, offering an exceptional diversity of landscapes and cultures. Your Vietnam tour can explore a specific region or cross the entire country according to your wishes.
North Vietnam: between legendary mountains and bays
North Vietnam fascinates with its striking contrasts. Hanoi, the millennium capital, immerses you in history with its ancient temples and the 36 corporations district. 165 kilometers away, the mythical Ha Long reveals its 1,969 karst islets emerging from emerald waters.
The mountains of Tonkin reveal another face of the country. Sapa and its terraced rice fields sculpted by the H'mong and Red Dao ethnic groups offer breathtaking panoramas. Further north, the Ha Giang loop winds through grandiose landscapes, while Ninh Binh, dubbed the "land-based Halong Bay," enchants with its rocky peaks and peaceful rivers.
Central Vietnam: imperial heritage and colonial charm
The center of the country houses jewels of world heritage. Hue, the former imperial capital, unveils its royal tombs and majestic citadel along the Perfume River. 150 kilometers south, Hoi An captivates with its preserved architecture, colorful merchant houses, and famous lanterns illuminating the evenings.
This region also offers magnificent beaches. Danang and its fine sand beaches provide an ideal beach break, while the Marble Mountains reveal sacred caves and perched pagodas.
South Vietnam: bustling metropolis and lush delta
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, pulses to the rhythm of its 9 million inhabitants. This dynamic metropolis mixes French colonial architecture with modern skyscrapers. Its colorful markets, temples, and museums recount the turbulent history of the country.
The Mekong Delta, the real rice basket of Vietnam, is explored along the water. Its channels wind between floating villages, tropical orchards, and water markets. Can Tho, the capital of this region, offers an authentic show with its floating market of Cai Rang, active from dawn.
