Vietnam

From the motorbike hum of Hanoi's Old Quarter to the terraces of Sapa and the limestone towers of Ha Long Bay.

The place

Street food, mountains and a bay full of islands

Vietnam is the trip people come back talking about. Start in Hanoi, where dinner is a plastic stool on a busy corner and the coffee is strong enough to plan the rest of the week. Head north to Sapa for rice terraces stacked up the mountainsides, then east to Ha Long Bay to sleep on a boat among limestone islands. It is a lot of country in a short time, so the route matters — we build it so the travel days work in your favour.

What you came for

  • Old Quarter street food, egg coffee and night markets
  • Sapa's terraced valleys and hill-tribe villages
