Rooftop bars above war-era history, then canals and floating markets that move at their own pace.
South Vietnam moves at two different speeds. Ho Chi Minh City runs on rooftop bars, motorbike traffic and French colonial landmarks standing beside glass towers, while the Mekong Delta, just south of the city, slows everything down again – a maze of rivers, floating markets and canal-side villages best explored by boat.

Still widely known as Saigon, Vietnam’s largest city layers French colonial architecture, war-era history and a fast-growing modern skyline into one dense, energetic centre. Rooftop bars look out over District 1’s towers, while street-side vendors and markets keep the city’s older rhythm alive at ground level.

South of Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong River splits into a dense network of canals, rice paddies and floating markets. Life here runs on the water – villages trade, cook and travel by boat, and a slow cruise through the delta is one of the most relaxed ways to experience rural

Phu Quoc: – Phu Quoc – Vietnam’s largest island sits in the Gulf of Thailand, a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City.
