What is Vietnam known for

Must-see landmarks

Culture

If you venture south, be sure to take in the sights and smells of Ho Chi Minh. This high-energy city will leave you buzzing after soaking up the temples and designer malls on offer, so relax with a cup of traditional Vietnamese coffee and immerse yourself in its street-side café culture. Move north and visit Hoi Ann, swelling with history and architecture, or Hue, a picturesque city steeped in charm, sitting comfortably on the Perfume River.

Although traditional Vietnmese music differs with the latitude, don’t go home before treating your ears to a few tunes, whether it’s at the theatre or while you enjoy a bowl of bánh cuốn on the sidewalk – street food in Vietnam is without a doubt the home to fantastic flavour.
