Vietnam Through Cities, Coastlines, and Countryside

Vietnam stretches the length of Southeast Asia's eastern coastline, yet no single place captures the country entirely. In Hanoi, tree-lined boulevards, French colonial architecture, and street vendors selling steaming bowls of phở create a city that feels deeply rooted in tradition and pays homage to its history. Further south, Ho Chi Minh City moves with a different energy, where high-rise buildings create a jagged skyline, and the labyrinth of city roads bustles with life and noise.

Many travelers divide their time between the cities and the coast. Along the shorelines of central Vietnam, destinations such as Hội An and Da Nang pair sandy beaches with centuries-old trading heritage. Some of the best luxury resorts in Vietnam are in these charming destinations, where mornings might begin with a walk on the beach, afternoons are spent perusing quaint markets and tailor-made crafts, and evenings end with meandering along lantern-lit streets.

Food is one of the country's defining experiences. Iconic dishes include fresh spring rolls (rice paper wrapped around fresh salad vegetables and steamed prawns) and bún chả (steaming dumplings) in the north to fragrant seafood dishes along the coast. Coffee is renowned for a reason, and there's a popular culture built around it. You'll find trendy, hip cafés on most street corners, with menus that range from coconut coffee to egg-whipped espressos.

While flights from the United States are long, connections through major Asian hubs make Vietnam increasingly accessible. Visitors often arrive amazed by the beautiful scenery and leave talking about the food, the hospitality, and the remarkable diversity packed into one country.
