Question

Hey,

I'm going travelling in SE Asia from the end of May, Vietnam is first, what are the must do's/see's?

Answer 1

Can't argue with any of these comments, I have seen a lot of these places and you will have a geat time whichever you choose.

Answer 2

If I were you, I would go to Hanoi and stay in the backpackers place in the Old Quarter. I'll dig out the details for you and e-mail them. From there you can book trips to all kinds of places.

There is a friendly Aussie there who will be able to advise you which places to go first and help you plan your stay

Hanoi will blow your mind. It's a real assault on the senses. The Vietnamese are the coolest people on the planet - they work so hard yet never break a sweat. Watching them go about on their mopeds is an experience in itself. Visiting the war museum will really choke you up.

An overnight boat trip on Halong Bay and a overnight train trip to Sapa (amazing place up in the mountains) are a must.

You will love it and  won't want to leave the place once you are there.

Answer 3

Been to VN 2 years ago stayed in Saigon ( be very careful crossing the road ) then took a trip across the delta up to Cambodia Next time I'd go North/South and take in Hanoi and Hue

Answer 4

to do:

Buy maps, guider books (sold in the airport, post office) then choose the suitable tourist-style with your habit (mountain, beach, or culture...)

to see:

maps, guiders how to go to that areas. alot of beach, island, mountain, etc...

I do not know your style, so the above answer is good for you if your trip would be free, open tour.

Happy trip!

Answer 5

Here are some best attractions of Vietnam :
