Getting around

The train system is a scenic, laid-back way to see the country, especially the famous Reunification Express. For shorter distances, taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab are cheap and easy. If you're feeling adventurous, hiring a motorbike is an iconic way to explore—just be prepared for the organised chaos of Vietnam’s roads! Buses and sleeper coaches also connect major destinations at budget-friendly prices.

Things to do for families in Vietnam

Vietnam is packed with family-friendly adventures. The ancient town of Hoi An is a winner, with lantern-lit streets, bike rides through rice paddies, and hands-on cooking classes for all ages. If the kids love wildlife, head to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park for an underground boat ride through spectacular caves. In Ho Chi Minh City, the War Remnants Museum offers an educational but sensitive look at history, while the Cu Chi Tunnels provide an interactive experience crawling through Vietnam’s wartime past. And let’s not forget the beaches—Da Nang and Nha Trang have warm waters, soft sand, and plenty of space for the little ones to burn off energy.

Things to do for couples in Vietnam

Vietnam oozes romance, from candlelit dinners on a Halong Bay cruise to dreamy beach sunsets in Phu Quoc. The ancient capital of Hue is perfect for couples who love history, with its imperial palaces and dragon boat rides on the Perfume River. If you fancy a little adventure, trek hand-in-hand through the misty mountains of Sapa or hop on a motorbike together to tackle the breathtaking Hai Van Pass. For something more laid-back, unwind in a luxury resort in Da Nang or take a slow boat ride through the Mekong Delta, soaking up the peaceful scenery with a fresh coconut in hand.

Things to do for groups in Vietnam

Vietnam is an absolute blast for group travel, whether you're after culture, adventure, or just a good laugh. Hanoi’s Old Quarter is a maze of lively bars, cheap beer, and buzzing night markets—perfect for a night out with your mates. For an adrenaline rush, zip through the Hai Van Pass on rented motorbikes or try canyoning in Da Lat’s waterfalls. The sand dunes of Mui Ne offer a unique group activity—sandboarding down giant dunes is a hilarious, must-try experience. If your group prefers a bit of chill time, a cruise around Halong Bay or a beach retreat in Nha Trang is ideal for sun, sea, and plenty of laughs.
