A variety of experience Every type of traveller may find something to do in Vietnam. Those seeking an urban experience can go to Hanoi, while those seeking a beach will have a lot of options here. The majority of visitors are drawn to Vietnam by its stunning natural beauty, which ranges from the lush rice paddies in the north to the fascinating activity of the Mekong Delta in the south. However, Vietnam is a nation with a rich past and ages-old customs. It has numerous ancient temples and historical landmarks.

The best time to visit Vietnam is from March to April, when rainfall is low and temperatures are milder. In a country more than 1,600 kms (1,000 miles) long, the weather in Vietnam varies considerably as you go from north to south, from a temperate to a tropical climate.

"It is one of the cheapest countries to visit, and among the most underrated," the magazine said. Eating local dishes will only cost you a few dollars per meal, and a cup of iced coffee is less than a dollar.

Travelers with limited time can rejoice that Vietnam is small enough to experience the highlights in just a few days. That said, the ideal timeframe is about 10 days, as it takes at least this long to immerse yourself in Vietnam's rich culture missing out H Long Bay, Hin, Hin, Cu Chi Tunnel, Hoch Minh City, Cat Ba Island, The Marble Mountains, Dalat, Mekong River, Mekong River, and Ba Be Lake
