Vietnam Cultural Holidays

Brimming with complex heritage, mind-blowing scenery and fast-moving megacities, it’s no surprise that Vietnam is regarded as one of the greatest cultural holiday destinations in Asia. Submerse yourself in culture in Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi, while wandering through the vibrant Old Quarter past the impressive One Pillar Pagoda, a seriously scenic site surrounded by lily pads. Carry on to the Temple of Literature where history afficionados can get a taste of Vietnam’s heritage, before heading into the famed Ho Chi Minh complex, a place where the country’s former president, Uncle Ho, spent much of his time.
