Why Vietnam?
Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's most fascinating travel destinations — and for good reason. Stretching over 1,650 kilometers from north to south, it is a country that is unparalleled in its diversity:
- 3,444 kilometers of coastline with stunning beaches, from Halong Bay to Phú Quốc Island — swimming, diving, kayaking
- 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Huế, the ancient town of Hội An, and Halong Bay
- The best street food in the world — Phở, Bánh Mì, Bún Chả, Cà Phê Sữa Đá: Vietnam is one giant open-air restaurant
- Breathtaking landscapes — emerald green rice terraces in Sapa, limestone cliffs in Halong Bay, the Mekong Delta with its floating markets
- One of Asia's cheapest travel countries — a complete street meal from 1€, double room from 10€, beer from 0.30€
- A millennia-old culture, shaped by Chinese, French, and American influences — yet unmistakably Vietnamese
In the past two decades, Vietnam has evolved from a hidden gem to a trendy travel destination — without losing its character. The Vietnamese are considered one of the friendliest and most hospitable people in Asia. The country is safe, the food is spectacular, and the value for money is exceptional.
What makes Vietnam special: You can have breakfast with ethnic minorities in a misty mountain landscape in the morning, lie on a deserted beach at noon, stroll through a 2,000-year-old imperial city in the afternoon, and eat the best Phở of your life on a plastic chair by the roadside in the evening — all for less than 50€ a day.
