VIETNAM CITIES & RAIL EXPERIENCE
Blaze your own trail through Vietnam
If a comprehensive tour isn ’ t for you , our Travel Experts can put together a bespoke tailor-made itinerary just for you . Options include spending a few days in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi to take in city sights , or , embarking on a fascinating train journey .
Ho Chi Minh City , formerly known as Saigon , reverberates with the whirr of thousands of motorbikes as they whizz along the bustling streets and broad boulevards . Add to this lavish colonial architecture , colourful markets , countless street vendors cooking up mouthwatering food , cosmopolitan cafes and excellent shopping , and you ’ ve got quite the intoxicating mix . Top sights include the imposing Reunification Palace , Notre Dame Cathedral , Saigon Post Office , Opera House , Ben Thanh Market , Thien Hau Temple , Jade Emperor Pagoda and Dong Khoi Street . Just outside the city is the Cu Chi Tunnels , a vast subterranean network used as hideouts by Vietnamese guerrillas during the Vietnam War .
High-octane Hanoi will also provide a full-scale assault on your senses . Its lemon-hued colonial architecture is a feast for the eyes , your tastebuds will water as delicious aromas waft from the street food vendor stalls , and your ears can ’ t help but hear the buzz from swarms of scooters . Aside from the sights , sounds and scents of everyday life , don ’ t miss the French Quarter where the Opera House stands , the characterful Old Quarter with its twisted lanes brimming with workshops , temples and more , the fashionable West Lake ( Tay Ho ) neighbourhood , One Pillar Pagoda , Temple of Literature and Ho Chi Minh ’ s former residence .
In addition to city stays , we can also recommend a luxurious carriage journey between Hoi An ( Da Nang ) and Quy Nhon , which allows you to sit back and watch this wonderful country pass by .
Of course , once you ’ ve absorbed the city vibes , culture and scenic splendour , you may wish to retreat to the beach for some well-deserved downtime , and our Travel Experts can happily arrange this for you . from £ 64 per person per night from £ 79 per person per night
