Despite its notoriously bloody history with the West, Vietnam remains incredibly hospitable to Westerners. Even in the larger cities, tourists are surrounded by groups of students eager to practice their English.
These two rival cities are among travelers’ all-time favorites. They have excellent accommodation options and other good infrastructure geared to the needs of travelers, with both excellent transport links to all major destinations in the country and finger-licking cuisine from every corner of the country. Bustling local markets, freshly brewed high-quality coffee, an abundance of museums – these two cities are not to be missed!
A visit to the Saigon Mausoleum and the former Hoa Lo Prison (nicknamed the Hanoi Hilton after American prisoners of war) offer a glimpse into the country’s recent history while the water puppet theater showcases one of Vietnam’s longest running traditions.

Tours for VietnamClick Here to read our Vietnam Tours guideTravel insurance for VietnamImportant update: Having travel insurance is now mandatory to enter Vietnam.As we often repeat, when traveling to Asia it is extremely important to take out travel medical insurance as you are not covered by European (or national) medical assistance, which is generally free or in any case affordable. In Asia hospitals are payable and, if you get sick or have an accident (even a serious one), they will refuse to treat you unless you can pay in advance or have a suitable policy.Considering that a good health policy costs only a few euros a day, we advise you to take out one for the entire duration of your trip.
