Lonely Planet Vietnam (Travel Guide)

Product Information

Vietnam is probably not the most obvious place to visit on holiday although I think it's one of the more places to visit for students on their gap year. Hanoi is the capital city and one place worth visiting in particular is the Aerospace Museum which has Mig Fighters on display. There is also a risk of rabies from monkeys and dogs and if you get vaccinated against that all you have to do is wash the cut thoroughly to prevent infection although it probably is a good idea to consult a doctor. The inclusion of local insights and hidden gems gave me the confidence to step off the well-trodden tourist path and discover the authentic charm of Vietnam.

I’ve used Lonely Planet guides for at least 20 years, and travelled around the world using these with confidence.

Sleep masks, ear plugs and noise-cancelling headphones (especially if the bus is playing music or movies) are recommended.In free liberal democracies that's fine but I wonder about the value in one party states like Vietnam. Kayak around towering limestone peaks in Halong Bay; wander the warren-like lanes of Hoi An’s Old Town; and sample the tastiest local specialities (and learn to cook them yourself) -all with your trusted travel companion. Near Saigon is Cu Chi Tunnels which were similar to the Ho Chi Minh Trail in that they were a supply line of of re inforced tunnels under ground and faced some of the heaviest bombing and defoliation of the Vietnam War.

Whether you’re interested in traveling to a new city, going on a cruise, or cooking a new dish — we’re committed to inspiring you to experience travel in a whole new way. Instead they replaced it with highlights as if the entire book is some kind of a day trip special must see thing that makes everything really hard to distinguish. Detailed and easy-to-read, they’re printed in full colour to make travelling and trip planning a breeze.I think it was built for people to read either before they went or in the hotel and then after tagging what they want to do they head off with their mobile phone and google maps to find what they wanted to see. The customs when you go into Vietnam used to be a nightmare but they have relaxed a lot of the regulations to try and attract tourists. For example, the 10,000d note and the 200,000d note are both tan while the 20,000d and 500,000d notes are both blue. but whenever you're travelling alone and are looking to link up w/ some new mates, just do the things LP recommends b/c that's what we're all doing out here. Lonely Planet’s Vietnam is your passport to the most relevant, up-to-date advice on what to see and skip, and what hidden discoveries await you.

But there is method to the madness and, like a school of fish, the traffic will inevitably glide around you as long as you keep moving at a slow and steady pace.

Vietnam has several budget airlines, which offer cheap fares but are notorious for being late and strictly enforcing carry-on limits. Abbiamo utilizzato questa guida per organizzare un viaggio in Vietnam ed ha fatto veramente la differenza.
