Overview

North to central Vietnam.

Vietnam is long and narrow, with a different feel in every region. Hanoi’s Old Quarter is lively and historic, and Ha Long Bay is a sea of limestone islands.

In central Vietnam, Da Nang has beaches and the Golden Bridge in the hills, and Hoi An’s old town glows with lanterns at night.
