Vietnam is less a trip than a story you find yourself inside. It smells of spicy steam rising from a bowl of pho, it hums with the soft chorus of horns in Hanoi at dawn, and it glows like lantern light brushing your skin in Hoi An.

Wanneer het jou uitkomt
From your first sip of egg coffee in Hanoi to the final rooftop view in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam moves between stillness and bustle like a dance. You’ll drift past the limestone cliffs of Ha Long Bay, pedal through the rice fields of Ninh Binh, and wander the ancient palace walls of Hué. Crossing the breathtaking Hai Van Pass, you’ll arrive in Hoi An, where lanterns float above the streets like falling stars. In the Mekong Delta, mangoes are handed to you straight from the boat, before Saigon sweeps you up in its endless energy. All at your own pace, with optional detours that add even more color to the canvas.
