WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN VIETNAM

Get ready to loosen your belt as you eat your way through Vietnam. We’ll show you where to find all the best Vietnamese food from the iconic banh mi to the heartwarming pho.

Pho

This slow-stewed noodle soup has got to be one of the world’s favorite dishes. It’s made from a steaming beef broth poured over rice noodles and topped with slices of beef or chicken, and we’ll show you how to add all the right herbs, sauces and chilli to really turn it up a notch.

Banh mi (baguettes)

The famous banh mi may just be the sandwich to beat all sandwiches. The airy baguette filled with deli-style meats, crunchy and pickled vegetables, pate and fresh herbs, plus some homemade mayo… as soon as you bite into it, you’ll understand what all the fuss is about.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT VIETNAM

Vietnam has dozens of different climates from north to south throughout the year, so when to go? Here are a few of our favourite times to explore this beautiful country.

Best Time for a Vietnam Cruise on Halong Bay

If you want the very best weather for your Halong Bay cruise, visit in the driest months of September to November or March to May… December to February is also a fantastic time!

Best Time to Explore Southern Vietnam

We love visiting the southern areas like Ho Chi Minh in the dry season from December to May, or the wet season from June to November when the Mekong looks incredible against the lush green jungle.

PACKING TIPS FOR VIETNAM

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN VIETNAM

Be Kind To the Reefs

The coral reefs off the coastline are one of the best things to see in Vietnam, so help keep them beautiful by doing your best to avoid touching or stepping on the coral.

Be Mindful of Local Customs

As the highest point on the body, the head is considered to be sacred in Vietnam and must not be touched. On the flip side, the feet are the lowest point and you must never point the soles of your feet at anyone.

Shop and Eat Local

Support the local communities by shopping at local markets and eating in local restaurants. You’ll get to taste some of the country’s best food and see the incredible work of their artisans.
