Central Vietnam

From island escapes to the non-stop action, middle Vietnam offers both vibrant urban energy and mellow countryside.

Start off in the sensory overload that is Da Nang, a metropolis where humble mom-and-pop shops share street space with modern skyscrapers. Beyond the city limits you’ll encounter the languid Bach Ma, where life takes place on water and farmland rolls out as far as the eye can see.

Not far away, Hoi An lures holidaymakers with a laid-back beach vibe and reputation as the kite-surfing capital of Vietnam. Offshore, islands such as Hue and Truong Sa will welcome you with pristine coastlines and untouched landscapes.
