Vietnam
Northern region
Central region
The Central region is home to a rich heritage whether cultural, like the old Hoi An, the imperial city of Hue, and the archaeological site of My Son; or natural, like the superb park of Phong Nha. Many of the sites in this region are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Dalat and its surroundings, in the highlands, are nestled in a privileged natural setting, to be discovered during a longer stay. Finally, for swimming enthusiasts, the region also offers some pleasant beaches.
Southern region
The South of Vietnam offers a tropical climate all year round. If one knows of this region essentially through the dynamic city of Ho Chi Minh City, it would be a shame to miss the Mekong Delta and its enchanting landscapes. The region is also ideal for a few days rest on the islands of Phu Quoc or Con Dao, or around the village of Phan Tiet.
