I have made my research and living in this beautiful country for years and can provide with the right information that may comes useful to all those who are interested to have their holiday to Vietnam. Following my experience in Vietnam, I have collected the tips that I found them useful for planning any trips to Vietnam. This is a fabulous land with history of thousand of year, breathtaking attractions and welcoming people that makes your entire stay pleasant and makes you to come back and visit their beauty again and again.

There are things to consider before traveling to Vietnam, you must answer the following question such as what to pack, what will be the best time to travel to Vietnam, how to travel through the country, where to change your money, how about the food, shopping, haggling, vaccinations and insurance and remember you are vacationing to a country that is ranked as top tourist destination in Asia, that means you need to read and get updated as much as you can in order to avoid the hassle when you are in Vietnam.

Get your health check up and Vaccination before taking a Vietnam vacation packages

To travel to Vietnam it is not mandatory to get fully vaccinated unless you are a long terms traveler and tend to visit the remote area for more than a usual time, the recommended vaccination are Hepatitis A and B, Tetanus, influenza, and Japanese encephalitis However, it is advised to consult with your local doctor before departure and find out what you really need to do. If you are coming to Vietnam from Africa then you might be asked for medical check and prove from the health ministry before obtaining your Vietnam visa on arrival.

Since Vietnam is a tropical country avoids being in the areas with much humidity, wet places are homes to different kind of mosquito that might be danger if they bite you although malaria is not too widespread in the country. Use proper mosquito repellent if you are camping in and around the farther National parks and the jungles or go with long sleeve both at dawn and at sunset because these are the times that most nasty mosquito are show off.

Flying to Vietnam, where it begins and where it ends

There are not much direct flights between Europe and Vietnam, although theer are some fights from UK to Hanoi but from most of the Europe you will need a connection flight to get to the Vietnam. Vietnam Airlines is the national Airline of Vietnam that operates several flights from around 600 € with a stopover in Paris (shared with Air France flight) or Frankfurt (shared with Air Europe / Lufthansa flight). However, there are better options to flight to Vietnam, If your schedule is not meet the Vietnam Airline, then, you ust try the Qatar Airways with stopover in Doha, or go with Emirates with stopover in Dubai, or even with classical Thai Airways via Bangkok. I recommend arriving to Hanoi and departing from Ho Chi Minh City, or vice versa as this saves your time and of course your money. In this route you will discover Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta and so on.

Essential destinations in Vietnam

This is pretty much depend on how much time you have to travel to Vietnam and of course everybody want to visit and see as much as possible, however, based on what I wrote abiut the flights to Vietnam, you may arriving in Hanoi and choose to start your exploration from the Northern part of Vietnam, Halong Bay would be the must do and see of any holiday to Vietnam this is so called the natural wonders of Vietnam and recognized as the UNESCO heritage site in Vietnam, the luxury Halong Bay tours are vary from one day to the four day with overnight stay on board the luxury cruises, Hue and Hoi An are the gems of the central Vietnam and if your purpose of vacation is a luxury stay at the beach resorts then you must choose Da Nang city with its famous beaches and the iconic landmarks to explore.

Nha Trang is a most renowned beach destination in Vietnam, this is where both local and western tourist call a paradise, there are several world class resorts with luxury facilities that usually offers holiday packages from 3 to 1 week in length, the beaches are sandy and water is just crystal clear, several activities are arranged suh as boat trips, fishing, diving and snorkeling and of all of them, enjoying the Luxury cruising on the Nha Trang Bay through the Emperor Cruise with its several different activities such sailing on the bay with several other activities.

My Son holy lands are located near Hoi An and could be visited on a half day excursion. The site is an ancient place and while is not as famous as Angkor Wat in Cambodia but it worth a visit, the site is represents the ruins dating back to the ancient Champa Kingdom from the 4th century, most of what is survives today if what after the bombarding from the American War when it attacked by the B-52 bombers to a secret base of the Viet Cong.

While in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, you will have several options to enjoy you stay in the capital, the excursions could be made from Hanoi to Bat Trang ceramic village, this is a center where pottery makers are making and showing their products and it is located just a 15 KM away from Hanoi city. The other option which is a good choice for the nature lovers would be to take a day or two day trip to Tm Coc in Ninh binh city located 80 KM north of Hanoi, this is so called Halong Bay on ground, you see all those lime stone karsts are raising from the ground that makes it an incredible place to spend your day.

Your Vietnam Vacation Packages is definitely takes you to visit the Ho Chi Minh City or as its still commonly used by the old name as Saigon, it is the most encountered city in Vietnam, I call it as the New York of the Vietnam, this is where you face anything from the noisy and traffic that can be inside the hellish planet. Just search the temples of jade emperor or wander around the Cholon District (Chinatown of Saigon). And for those interested in following chapters of the Vietnam War there are many historical places like the Reunification Palace which has been survived from the Viet Cong on April 30, 1975, with the ability to access to underground bunkers used then. Moreover, the War Museum is one of those essential monuments that must be seen when on your tour of Vietnam.

There are many day trips and excursions that could be arranged from Ho Chi Minh City for such I can suggest the day trip to Cu Chi Tunnels along with the famous Cao Dai temple, of, day trips to the Mekong Delta’s different regions such as My Tho, Cai Be and Cai Rang floating market, Vinh Long and much more, depending on your time table and the schedule you might take a Mekong river cruise which enhance the southern Vietnam experience that also could be combined with the trip to Cambodia up to Siem Reap and the Tonle Lake.
