Unique Vietnam: A country that feels like a rush
Vietnam pulls you in from the very first moment. It feels loud, colourful and alive, and it is unbelievably beautiful at the same time. Everything happens all at once as mopeds roar through narrow lanes in Hanoi between colonial buildings and steaming bowls of pho. There is no standstill, only pure energy. Then the mood shifts and calm settles in. In Ha Long Bay, limestone karsts reflect in emerald-green water as a traditional junk glides past, with wind on your skin and salt in the air. Not far away, the dry Ha Long Bay draws you into a completely different world, where rivers weave through golden fields and mountains rise like a painted backdrop. In Hoi An, thousands of lanterns shimmer at night as light dances across the river, and everything feels close, tangible and real. The south pulses even louder as Ho Chi Minh City becomes a heady rush of street food, history and neon light. In the Mekong Delta, life flows between palm trees, floating markets and wooden boats drifting through endless green landscapes. Vietnam is something you feel everywhere you go.

What are the must-sees in Vietnam?
Vietnam is full of highlights, but these must-sees belong on your bucket list:
Hanoi and Ha Long Bay
In Hanoi, the heart of Vietnam beats at full speed. Ancient temples and colonial villas share the streets with honking mopeds, street kitchens and low café stools as you sip pho and watch the chaos dance past. Just a short distance away, Ha Long Bay opens up into a natural wonder, with limestone karsts rising from the water like dragon backs. This place creates a world of stone and silence. Glide through quiet bays on a traditional junk as the sky turns pink and everything seems to pause. Ha Long Bay is not just a place, because it is a moment you will never forget.
Ninh Binh and the dry Ha Long Bay
Ninh Binh feels like a dream unfolding in slow motion. Instead of waves, you move through lush green rice fields, quiet rivers and rugged limestone cliffs rising through the mist. Local rowers guide their boats through narrow caves, passing water buffalo and mountain temples along the way. From the Mua Cave viewpoint, the landscape stretches out endlessly, and with every step, the view becomes more dramatic. The dry Ha Long Bay is just as striking as its coastal sister, but it offers a different experience. It feels calm, vast and wonderfully unspoilt, which makes it perfect for travellers who want to truly immerse themselves.
Huế and the lantern city of Hoi An
Huế carries Vietnam’s imperial legacy, with citadels, pagodas and palace walls that hold stories in every stone. You feel the weight of history as boats cross the Perfume River and monks move quietly through temple courtyards. Hoi An welcomes you with colour, light and scent, offering an old town that feels like it belongs to another era. By day, you wander through narrow lanes filled with tailors and street food stalls. When the sun sets, every corner turns into a stage for a gentle festival of lights. Huế and Hoi An tell stories of the past, yet they feel vividly alive. Culture, style and soul come together in a wonderfully compact space.
Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong Delta
Ho Chi Minh City hits you with full urban overload, with sharp sounds, bright lights and constant motion. French colonial buildings stand alongside glass skyscrapers, and street life pulses around the clock. In Can Tho, time moves at a slower pace. Boats sway between palm trees, and traders sell mangoes straight from the water. The Mekong Delta shows a different side of Vietnam that feels calmer, yet just as intense. In the early morning, mist drifts across the canals as the day slowly comes to life. The perfect finale is a beach stay on Phu Quoc, complete with sunshine, sand and a slower rhythm.
Sapa, Ba Na Hills and the Cloud Pass
Sapa sits high in the far north, and it often rises above the clouds. In the mornings, mist drifts through the rice terraces as water buffalo wander slowly through the villages. In the Ba Na Hills near Da Nang, a surreal scene unfolds as the Golden Bridge, held aloft by giant stone hands, stretches out above the jungle. The cable car glides over rolling green hills, creating a setting that feels straight out of a fantasy film. Even more spectacular is the Hai Van Pass. This coastal road winds through dense jungle greenery, opening up views of the open sea as mist curls across the asphalt.
