1. Phu Quoc: Considered as the best for beach lovers, Phu Quoc Island City is lapped by jewel-blue waters and edged by fine sandy beaches. When the sun goes down, a cocktail in hand to enjoy the amber.
2. Ha Noi: The best city for city slickers. Ha Noi is Vietnam's historic capital. The city offers easy infrastructure, inexpensive accommodation, world-class dining and more history to take in. Ha Noi is also the leaping-off point for the islands and outcrops around Halong Bay and the forest-draped trails of the mountainous northwest. Don’t forget to graze through Vietnam's catalogue of street food treats and cafes in the Old Quarter.
3. Ho Chi Minh City: the best for a sense of the past when you can learn more about this heroic period at sites such as the War Remnants Museum, the buildings of French Indochina architecture, the city's colonial-era landmarks,...
4. Hoi An: A stay in harmonious Hoi An is a journey of history. Passing through Vietnam’s lavish and layered past. Serving as a trading port from the 15th to the 19th century where traders from as far afield as Japan, Spain and North America came to do their commercial activities, are now packing with teetering shophouses, tea warehouses, fanciful covered bridges, elaborate Chinese guildhalls, and colourful Confucian and Buddhist pagodas.
5. Hue: Tracing back for imperial history. The city was home to the former Nguyen dynasty. The grandeur of dynastic Vietnam lives on in the Citadel and Imperial Enclosure, housing the emperor's residence, temples, palaces and court. At night, free your souls along the Perfume River or enjoy Hue's imperial cuisine, try a spicy bowl of bun bo Hue (vermicelli noodle soup) or a crispy banh khoai pancake are the best.
