Ho Chi Minh City. Still called Saigon by many, Ho Chi Minh City is a rapidly expanding metropolis, one full of contrasts. Cars crawl through a sea of motorbikes, high-rises fly up seemingly overnight, and banh mi carts crowd out newly arrived McDonalds. The downtown core is quite walkable and most major sitesfrom the French-built Notre Dame Cathedral to the War Remnants Museum and the Reunification Palacecan be visited on foot.

The Mekong Delta. Running through the upper delta is the Mekong River, dotted with small fertile islands where fruit grows in abundance. The rest is a patchwork of waterways, mangrove swamps, and brilliant green rice paddies that run into the emerald South China Sea. Delta towns are touched by ancient and modern cultures, from the Funanese to the Khmer, Cham, and Vietnamese, all living side by side after centuries of strife.

The South Central Coast and Highlands. Two of Vietnams most popular resort towns are hereocean-side Nha Trang and the cool mountain retreat of Dalat. On the South China Sea, Nha Trang has a palm-lined boulevard running the length of its beach, flanked by hotels and restaurants. If its mountains and lakes you seek, head to temperate Dalat. Farther north are the isolated towns of Pleiku and Kon Tumgood jumping-off points for treks into the forests and visits to hill-tribe villages.

The Central Coast. The towns of Hue and Hoi An provide a fascinating glimpse of Vietnams history. UNESCO site Hoi An is an ancient trading and fishing town where many buildings remain as they were 200 years ago. Hues Imperial City and palatial royal tombs are impressive reminders of the countrys regal past. In between Hue and Hoi An is Danang, the regions major transportation hub.

Halong Bay and North Central Vietnam. Staying overnight on a boat on Halong Bay and kayaking among the islands of the Cat Ba archipelago, are just two of the popular outdoor activities in the picturesque North Central region. A world away the big cities, North Central Vietnam beckons outdoor explorers.

Hanoi. The capital of Vietnam is also its cultural hub. Despite the chaotic motorbike traffic, this city of majestic lakes, wide tree-lined boulevards, and hauntingly familiar French colonial architecture remains quite charming, despite serious overcrowding. Hanoi oozes history and legend: it was here that Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence in 1945.

The Northwest. Hanoi is the jumping off point for the rest of northern Vietnam, which is home to more than 50 ethnic minority groups. Many ethnic minorities live in the beautiful highlands of the north, where views of the rice terraces and surrounding fields are truly stunning. The area around the mountain town of Sapa is a magnet for avid trekkers and amateur hikers alike.

Angkor Wat. Siem Reaps spectacular Angkor temple complex makes neighboring Cambodia an essential side trip.
