Vietnam is a land that overwhelms most visitors with the sublime beauty of its natural settings from the spectacular limestone islands of Ha Long Bay in the north to the vast wetlands of the Mekong Delta in the south.

Vietnam's capital, Hanoi is a vibrant and bustling city of more than a 1,000 years. Forged by periods of Chinese and French occupation, the city is a captivating blend of modern and traditional, eastern and western heritage. Go back in time wandering around the Old Quarter or hundreds of Chinese-style pagodas and temples. Have pho bo (Vietnamese must-try beef noodle soup) not far from the very popular Hoam Kiem Lake.

Don't forget to immerge yourself in Vietnam's culture and complex history by visiting Hanoi's numerous museums and historical landmarks, including late iconic leader Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and preserved French colonial architecture.
