Vietnam may be close to Laos and Cambodia, but it has its own completely unique rhythm, landscapes and culture. It’s a country that’s definitely worth more than a quick visit – from the mountains and low-hanging clouds in the north to the warmer, more humid south.

Along the way, you’ll find bustling cities, delicious street food, pretty villages, old temples and a deep, complex history. Whether you’re travelling by bus, train or motorbike, Vietnam is perfect for slow journeys, backpacking adventures and discovering a different side of Southeast Asia.
