3 Cities in Vietnam, and My Love
Explore the cuisines and cultures of Vietnam’s most influential cities on this whirlwind tour of North, Central, and South Vietnam. Enjoy exciting activities and stunning scenery.
Why this is an ideal adventure in Vietnam…
In the North, you’ll discover why Hanoi is the nation’s romantic capital, as well as the gateway to indigenous societies and mountainous regions. Central Vietnam is home a vital landmark known as the ‘Imperial Enclosure.’ To the South, you’ll learn why Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is a bustling powerhouse.
The most adventurous part of this trip will be…
The Vespa tour of Hanoi after dark. You’ll zoom through the streets of Hanoi with frequent stops to sample the country’s delicious fare. Later on, you’ll enjoy another foodie excursion on a combination sight-seeing tour and cooking class in the royal city of Hue (the ‘kitchen of Vietnam’).
Our advice to visitors of Vietnam is…
There’s a lot to take in, but don’t feel rushed — enjoy the experience. Tours such as gliding along the Mekong River or spending a full day exploring Hanoi are a chance to learn new things, take in the scenery, and do so at a decidedly slower pace. You’ll also have free days to call your own shots.
Places you'll stay
Hanoi
Hanoi is one of those cities with a personality so rich and multi-layered, it seems more like a person than a place. Founded in 1010, Vietnam’s capital city has more than a thousand years of history. Inevitably, it’s the birthplace of heroes, artists, kings, and legends. Travelers will find themselves easily taken in by Hanoi’s treasures, and there’s so much to see.
Hue
For every Vietnamese city that races headlong into the future, there’s one that’s just as firmly rooted in past. Hue is a historical destination and a fantastic stop for travelers who want to plunge into Vietnamese culture. This city isn’t completely frozen in time — Apple stores, large hotels, and sleek pubs have begun pop up just beyond historic district — but Hue is still largely a city where life drifts along with the leisurely current of the Perfume River.
Ho Chi Minh City
There’s no better place to get a feel for urban Vietnam than the energetic streets of Ho Chi Minh City. This is Vietnam's largest city and one of the country's most free-spirited destinations. Still referred to as ‘Saigon’ by locals, it is known for hordes of motorbikes, mouthwatering food, and hip coffee shops.
Moments to look forward to
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.
