| Vietnam |  |
This narrow country, with its rich heritage and diverse landscape, is a perfect getaway destination. Vietnam is friendly, safe and easy to negotiate. It has a fascinating history - both ancient and modern - to uncover and, after just a couple of days, you will feel as though you've located the heart of Southeast Asia.
 |  | Hanoi
Taking its cue from French town planners and colonialists, the Vietnamese capital in the north of the country has broad boulevards and a charming European flavour to it.

 |  | Ho Chi Minh City
Formerly known as Saigon, HCHM, in the south, is Vietnam's second city. It's a large urban sprawl but if you can survive the relative chaos, you'll be able to revel in its exhilarating ambience.

 |  | Hoi An
A visit to this old-world gem is a sure cultural highlight of any tour in Vietnam. The quaint old town is an UNESCO World Heritage site of some 844 structures heavily influenced by Chinese settlers and past Japanese traders. It is small enough to cover easily on foot, with lots of good nooks and crannies, shops, and gastronomic delights to discover.
