Things to do

Hoi An

Explore the ancient city of Hoi An, an old fishing village on the coast of the South China Sea where time seems to have stopped. Once an international port back since the 16th century, Hoi An sometimes gets called the ‘Venice of Vietnam” due to its numerous narrow canals and its historical Old Town. Take a detour to the nearby ruins of My Son, a collection of Hindu temples more than 1500 years old.

Ho Chi Minh City

The former capital played a vital role during World War II. About 40 kilometres northwest you can find the famous Cu Chi Tunnels which were used by the Viet Cong for their guerrilla warfare and later in the 1968 Tet Offensive. Part of the tunnel system is open to visitors. Another popular tourist destination in Ho Chi Minh City is the Cao Dai Temple, one of the country’s most sacred sights.

Food
