Vietnam Vacations

Our Recomendation for the best Places to Visit in Vietnam

Vietnam Vacations should always include visits to the main cities.  Vietnamese who live in the cities are very friendly.  Any Vietnam Vacation should include a visit to a café, the perfect place to try some of the best coffee in the world and interact with the locals. Vietnam is world’s number one producer of coffee beans.

Vietnam Vacation – Hanoi

A Vietnam vacation should definitely include a trip to Hanoi. Hanoians are probably the nicest and most approachable in the country. Even though English is not as widely spoken as in Saigon, most of the shopkeepers have learnt enough English discuss topics such as the commodities and price of goods, and many of the older generation have a working vocabulary of French.  Most of the taxi drivers speak some English and often have very interesting pasts that they are now willing to discuss with foreigners.  So when planning your Vietnam vacation make sure that Hanoi is on the agenda.

Hanoi - Where to Stay

Hanoi is a large city and it offers many hotels.  We recommend visitors check out the ATS Hotel if they are traveling on a budget.  If money is less of a concern than check out the Bao Son Hotel which is located close to many popular tousit attractions.

Vietnam Vacation – Ho Chi Minh

A Vietnam vacation should also include Ho Chi Minh City. This is a city that churns, ferments, bubbles and fumes. The streets, where much of the city's life takes place, are a maze of street markets, shops, pavement cafes, stands-on-wheels and vendors selling wares spread out on sidewalks. It's impossible not to get caught up

The best time to plan a Vietnam Vacation weather-wise is the dry season between December and April, when the humidity is more manageable. The crowds start getting heavy around November and stay through March. The Tet Festival in late January or early February is an exciting, if extremely hectic, time to visit.

Where to Stay in Ho Chi Minh City

The Amara Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in Vietnam.  This architecturally impressive high-rise landmark offers comprehensive facilities in a peaceful atmosphere.
