The 5 must-sees of a Vietnam holiday

Vietnam captivates with its contrasting panoramas, culture and living traditions. To prepare for a journey to Vietnam in 2025, note that the country has facilitated entry for many visitors: a 45-day visa exemption for certain nationals and extended e-visas for other nationalities. This flexibility makes discovering the country more accessible than ever.

Cruise in Halong Bay

A true natural icon, Halong Bay amazes with its limestone karsts emerging from turquoise waters. Cruising among these islets and exploring caves unique in the world remains a fascinating experience.

Hanoi and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

In the capital of Vietnam, do not miss exploring the historic centre, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. A place of remembrance steeped in history, respected by all.

Discovering the Mekong Delta

From Ho Chi Minh City, head south to discover the Mekong Delta. The floating markets and traditional villages offer a total immersion into the daily life of the region.

Hue, the Imperial City

Hue preserves majestic imperial vestiges and a peaceful atmosphere. The Citadel and the royal tombs are essential stops to understand the glorious past of the country.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), vibrant and modern

Saigon combines historical monuments with urban dynamism. Enjoy its bustling markets, its restaurants and the architectural contrasts between colonial heritage and modernity.
