Destination Guide: Vietnam

Come to Vietnam for the beaches and banh mi, stay for the Da Lat Flower Festival and world-class kitesurfing.

Our guide’s packed with all the essentials – a little history, a few handy phrases, the apps worth downloading – plus stories to shape your trip. Like why Phu Yen deserves a detour (even if most travellers skip it), and where to find the best streetside bun cha in Hanoi. 

We’ll donate 2% of book proceeds to Save Vietnam’s Wildlife, a partner of The Intrepid Foundation that rescues and rehabilitates endangered animals.
