One of the Southeast Asia’s big names, Vietnam sits south of China and east of Laos and Cambodia, sharing a land border with all three. Vietnam is home to a number of fast-growing and busy cities which are an unforgettable travelling experience. But Vietnam holidays don’t have to mean navigating the bustling streets of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City; if you would rather enjoy a relaxing holiday, there is a range of often-forgotten beach resorts and cultural destinations. The country has been blessed with soaring mountains, gorgeous national parks and an amazing coastline packed with stunning white sand beaches. Vietnam’s true prize is its people who are incredibly optimistic despite having endured a complicated history.

- Tet: Vietnamese New Year - Tet is an exciting time to be in Vietnam with games and Vietnamese traditions galore, free cultural shows, music and entertainment as well as dragon and lion dances in the popular tourist areas. This is also the busiest time of year to visit Vietnam so ensure you book far ahead and allow for extra budget to travel. Locals will be travelling home to visit family in the lead up to the celebration so transport and roads can become very congested. The holiday lasts for three days with some traditions observed for up to a week.
