About Vietnam
Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s most beautiful countries, attracting travellers to its lush mountains, bustling cities and golden sand beaches. Besides rapid modernisation in urban centres of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, century-old traditions remain intact amongst the locals and countrysides.
Weather
Anytime is a good time to visit Vietnam, wintertime in the North can mean an ideal beach vacation in the South. While the country has a typically tropical climate, the weather can vary significantly from one region to another due to its long coastline of 3,260km.
Transport
There are many options to move around in Vietnam, from popular vehicles like trains and buses, to more niche ones like cyclos and motorbikes. Nowadays, tourists also have more freedom in using raid-hailing apps in metropolises. Foreigners can easily reach the country at one of the three international airports located in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
