Russian tourists have only recently discovered such a fabulously beautiful country like Vietnam. The rest, reviews of which flooded the Internet (if you believe the stories about endless sandy beaches, green rice fields, the jungle and exotic cities), is amazing. Therefore, many travelers are interested in what you can see in Vietnam, when it is better to go there on vacation, what means of sanitary protection to use and, of course, what to see. We will try to consider these questions in turn and briefly answer them.
The main goal for which the Europeans are selected to Vietnam is rest. The reviews in LiveJournal and other social networks claim that in this country you can relax as well and comfortably as in Thailand, but for much less money. There are also quite a few crimes related to the use of violence, and as many as in the aforementioned Thailand, pickpocketing and cases of snatching bags from motorcyclists. Especially “famous” in this sense, the south of Vietnam. Values, credit cards and documents are best stored in the hotel safe, and carry a photocopy of your passport with you. In hotels, of course, sanitary requirements are respected. But, nevertheless, you should not drink tap water and even brush your teeth with it. To do this, in hotels in Vietnam, guests are given bottled water. For the same reasons, you should be wary of drinks with ice, since river water could have been taken to make it. Officially, those who go on vacation to Vietnam do not need vaccinations, but it is still recommended to be vaccinated against malaria and yellow fever.
Eastern traffic puts a European pedestrian in a stupor. But the endless stream of motorcycles moves at low speed. The main thing is not to rush around, but move in one direction so that the drivers can coordinate their actions with yours. Another difference between Asian life and European life is that it is not customary in Vietnam to demonstrate in public your feelings: frustration, anger, and the like. To honor the local Buddhist temples, you need to take off your hat and shoes, and clothing for visits to places of worship should also be chosen appropriate and modest (this also applies to Catholic churches, which are many in Vietnam).
Now a few words about when it is best to come to Vietnam. Rest (reviews, at least in this unanimous) in this country will always be cloudless. You just need to choose the right place in Vietnam. In the south of the country it is usually rainy from May to November, but the dry season lasts from December to April. The center of the country is sunny and dry from May to October, and prolonged rains only begin in December.
Magnificent and impeccable service of hotels, especially in the resorts of the coast, glorified Vietnam. Rest, reviews of which tourists write, was unforgettable. Even in a small 3-star Vietnamese hotel you will receive a set of services that is required by world standards for a 5 * hotel. Hotels on the coast always have their own beach and are represented by a complex of bungalows and villas. City hotels usually combine aesthetic Vietnamese motifs and French colonial style .
The beaches of the country provide tourists with the opportunity to choose a relaxing or active holiday. Vietnam, which is often reviewed by divers and surfers, has a wonderful coast, a rich underwater world and excellent winds for riding on the waves. Massage rooms and spa centers will help combine outdoor activities with wellness.
Where exactly to go on vacation to Vietnam? The most famous resorts are located on the Chinese beach in Da Nang and Kya Dai beach in the Hoi An area in Central Vietnam, and in the south of the country - on the beaches of Nha Trang and on the island of Phu Quoc (Bai Dai beach). It is also worth visiting the big cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), with their many historical and cultural attractions. In North Vietnam, one of the wonders of the world is attracting attention - Halong Bay, in which 3 thousand islands are located. Those interested in the history of Asia will be curious to visit the cities of Hue and Hoi An, and wildlife lovers will surely be attracted by the resorts of Danang, where the Marble Mountains, Phan Thiet and Sapa are located.
