When you arrive in Vietnam for the first time, the local currency can be disorienting. Brightly coloured banknotes, six- or seven-figure sums, the feeling of being a millionaire the moment you make your first ATM withdrawal — and the nagging fear of handing over the wrong note when paying for a bánh mì.

Twelve days in Vietnam is a very sensible amount of time to build a coherent, well-paced and memorable journey. Enough to connect Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City while touching on the essentials: the mountainous North with its traditional local life, the central coast with its UNESCO-listed heritage, and the vibrant South with its river […]

Seven days for a country that stretches over 1,600 km — you won’t be able to cover everything, of course.
