Vietnam Highlights

From taste sensations to mesmerising sights, Vietnam’s highlights come in all forms!  

Known for its ancient history, every city offers a unique look into the country’s past; Hanoi with its Temple of Literature and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum; the Thien Hau Temple in Ho Chi Minh City; and the Japanese Covered Bridge in Hoi An. Even a stroll through Hanoi’s Old Quarter will have you making new discoveries, with 36 iconic street names providing glimpses of previous generations.  

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay deserves a special mention. Situated in the Gulf of Tonkin, Halong Bay is made up of 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. One of the best ways to soak up the natural scenery is to enjoy a cruise aboard a ‘junk’ boat, and be sure to have a swim in the emerald waters – nothing compares!  

After a day of exploring, sampling Vietnamese cuisine from a traditional street food stall is the perfect way to refuel! From Pho to Bánh Mì, your taste buds won’t be disappointed.

Food and Drink

Bánh Mì

One of the most popular street foods in Vietnam, Bánh Mì is a French baguette filled with a delicious selection of ingredients. Most of the time pork, pickled vegetables, parsley, pate and soy sauce are added, with other fillings including beef, chicken, liver and tofu. Sink your teeth into the crunchy crust and enjoy!

Pho

Pho is possibly the most famous dish Vietnam has to offer! This noodle soup consists of flat rice noodles, chicken or beef broth and slivers of chicken, pork, beef or tofu. The secret to a good Pho lies in the stock, which is often seasoned with star anise, clove, cinnamon, ginger or coriander. The dish is usually served for breakfast, which often surprises tourists!

Cơm Tấm

A quick and easy street food that is particularly popular in Ho Chi Minh City, Cơm Tấm is made up of broken rice, pork or fish, and a fried egg. With other touches such as fresh herbs, spring onion, fish sauce and a squeeze of lime, this dish is filling, delicious and convenient.
