Southern Vietnam provides both lively metropolitan bustle and tranquil countryside, from island getaways to nonstop excitement. Ho Chi Minh City is where contemporary skyscrapers coexist with modest mom-and-pop stores. The Mekong Delta, where agriculture stretches for miles and life revolves on the water, is located beyond the municipal limits. Toward the coast, Mui Ne, known as Vietnam's kite-surfing epicenter, entices vacationers with a carefree beach atmosphere. Offshore, you'll be greeted by unspoiled scenery and immaculate beaches on islands like Phu Quoc and Con Dao.
