Experience Vietnam in 2013
A country filled with natural beauty and relaxed village life, Vietnam has some of the best islands and beaches in all of Southeast Asia.
Combined with its delicious cuisine, it’s no wonder Kiwis are flocking there in search of adventure.
Flight Centre shares their top tips to get the most out of your holiday at this ultimate destination.
Hoi-Ann is teeming with tailors and is the place to get clothes made. Take a few of your favourite items or even a photo of what you want and they’ll be replicated to perfection.
Head to the markets to eat the fragrant fresh and fiery treats of Vietnam at tiny prices. There is great food all over Vietnam but head to the town markets for truly authentic and cheap eats.
When crossing the road, step out slowly, walk at a steady pace and watch the traffic flow around you - or follow a local. If you wait for a gap in the endless number of scooters you will be there all day.
Take to the seas in Halong Bay - a couple of nights on a comfortable, converted traders junk mean the staggering sights come to you. Huge limestone casts rise out of the emerald waters as you drift past, relaxing with a drink in hand.
Head to the hills north of Hanoi. The hill tribes, terraced rice paddies and colonial era hill stations provide achingly beautiful scenery and mean a trip up north is never forgotten.
