These and other sites are at the center of many Vietnamese legends. Come to a Buddhist to have a tranquil moment surrounded by some of the prettiest architecture in Vietnam.

Vietnam Highlights

A curated look at the best Vietnam has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.

Long Son Pagoda

Long Son Pagoda

Built in the 19th century, this pagoda has striking architecture and colorful mosaics. Right behind the pagoda, you can see a hilltop statue of Buddha that looks out over downtown Nha Trang. This is an active pagoda, and if you arrive at the right time of day you may hear the sound of monks chanting.

Vinh Trang pagoda

Vinh Trang pagoda

On the banks of the Bao Dinh canal, in the agricultural hub of the Mekong Delta, sits the grand spiritual haven called Vinh Trang Pagoda. A Buddhist temple complex scattered over an incredible 5 acres (2 ha) of land, it is the largest and one of the most elaborate in the region.

Truc Lam Zen Monastery

Truc Lam Zen Monastery

In the hills of Da Lat, surrounded by 59 acres (24 ha) of protected forest, sits the Truc Lam Zen Monastery. For the monks and nuns who reside there, it is a home and a sanctuary. For visitors, it is a place to learn about Vietnamese Zen Buddhism, gain a little serenity, and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Explore Destination
Bai Dinh Pagoda

Bai Dinh Pagoda

In an area full of charming shrines and ancient pagodas, a brand new temple complex has some stiff competition as a worthy tourist attraction. But Bai Dinh Pagoda has an atmosphere all its own and is an incredible place to observe modern day faith in Vietnam.

Explore Destination
Thien Mu Pagoda

Thien Mu Pagoda

No single monument represents the charms of Hue so well as Thien Mu Pagoda. Arriving by boat is perhaps the most enjoyable way to reach Ha Khe Hill, where Thien Mu waits, claiming a prime perch overlooking the Perfume River.
