Southern Vietnam

Southern Vietnam is a land of vibrant contrasts, stretching from the dizzying, neon-lit skyscrapers of Ho Chi Minh City to the lush, labyrinthine waterways of the Mekong Delta. It is Vietnam's economic engine, yet it moves to a relaxed, tropical rhythm in its rural corners, fringed by idyllic island getaways like Phu Quoc.

To capture the essence of the south, allocate 4–5 days: 2–3 nights absorbing the history and nightlife of Saigon (including the Cu Chi Tunnels) and 2 nights cruising past floating markets in the Mekong Delta. If you are looking for beach relaxation, add 3 more days on the coast. Explore our family holidays and classic itineraries to plan your southern escape.
