Inundated with incredible history, golden-sand beaches, glorious mountain tops, and mind-boggling cities, Vietnam is a sweet escape!

 

This Southeast Asian nation is so cheap to explore that you can see and do nearly everything your heart desires and even add in some luxury.

 

The hectic cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh are pumping with vitality whilst the World Heritage city of Hoi An delights visitors with its diversely influenced architecture and laid-back vibe.

 

Overnight cruising through Ha Long Bay is an awesome experience for all travellers. And if colossal caves and emerald waters appeal, Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park will not disappoint.
