Vietnam
Which region of Vietnam is ideal for a stay?
For a trip lasting 7 to 10 days, you might choose between Northern or Southern Vietnam. The North is known for its deep cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes, featuring destinations like Ha Long Bay, Sa Pa, and Hanoi. The weather tends to be cooler, making it less ideal for beach outings. On the other hand, Southern Vietnam offers stunning beaches and lively urban centres such as Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Mui Ne, and Ho Chi Minh City, perfect for shopping and unwinding.
