Holiday In Can Tho

You might think it’s too late to book a quick getaway to Southern Vietnam…but it’s not, especially when you go on holiday in Can Tho with lastminute.com.au!

Located on the Hau River, just 170 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho is the perfect place to stuff your face on a food tour or take a day trip out to nearby wildlife sanctuaries.

As Vietnam’s southernmost big city, Can Tho is the starting point for many whirlwind tours up and around Vietnam. For a slower pace, you can just chill out on canal boats, warm up on the beach, and drop it like it’s sultry and sunny—because it will be!—in easygoing dance clubs. Book awesome Can Tho package deals on the fly and, well, fly!

Things to Do in Can Tho

Check out what life is like on the Hau River at Can Tho Museum—from modern art to ancient artefacts dug right out of the ground you’re walking on. From there, you can walk to the colourful Ong Temple for a moment in the shade before catching some rays at the beach. Can Tho Beach sits on the river, so don’t expect wicked surf breaks—just some good old-fashioned laziness with bare feet and a tropical drink in hand #sorrynotsorry.

In the outlying district of Ninh Kieu, learn how to make noodles at Sau Hoai's Rice Noodle Factory before spending your Can Tho holiday slurping back this delicious Vietnamese tradition. Gilt architecture and peaceful gardens are also Vietnamese traditions, so in the name of cultural anthropology check out the luxey Quang Duc Pagoda. Next, get behind the wheel of one of lastminute.com.au’s Can Tho car hire deals and push your horizons ever further, starting with Ho Chi Minh holiday packages from yours truly.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Shopaholics from near and far book Can Tho packages to get to the markets. Hop in a boat at Cai Rang Floating Market to shop in the waterways of the Mekong Delta, one of the longest floating markets in the world. #youreonaboat! If you can’t find your fill of fashion and flavour at Cai Rang, there’s always Phong Dien Floating Market, located 20 km south of the city. If travelling has you keeping late hours, then Tay Do Night Market in the Ninh Kieu District is for you!

Markets are also great places to try the local cuisine. Vietnamese cuisine is pretty easy to eat on the go, but you may want to get yourself a table and lay out a feast of pho—the country’s famous noodle soup—refreshing seafood spring rolls and bahn mi sandwiches. Mmmm.

You know what else tastes good? Drinking sweet cocktails in Ninh Kieu District before hitting the club. Look near the Ho Chi Minh statue in the middle of the neighbourhood where you’ll find several popular live music venues. Raise the thatch roof, traveller!
