If you haven’t been to Vietnam yet, don’t panic, there’s still plenty of time—assuming you’re ready to head there for your annual leave. Just tell your boss you’ve got to split from your desk because there’s an underground tunnel network you must explore, bowls of pho you must eat and heaps of cobra wine you must drink. We’re not kidding about that last one. Browse lastminute.com.au’s fantastic deals on Vietnam packages and enjoy a trip to Southeast Asia.

Things to Do in Vietnam

If your Vietnam accommodation is located in Ho Chi Minh City, you’ll have no trouble finding stuff to do. After all, this is the largest city in the country! Take a journey through the Cu Chi Tunnels, a network of underground mazes used during the Vietnam War. You enter the tunnels through a variety of secret passageways. You can even eat lunch in one of the old command bunkers, as long you don’t mind a giant bowl of rice.

When your stay in Ho Chi Minh City accommodation comes to an end, take the 2-hour flight north to the city of Hanoi. Go on a Hanoi food tasting tour and sample everything from hot bowls of pho to snake skewers. Don’t ask, just eat.

Getting to & Around Vietnam

If you’re starting your journey in Ho Chi Minh City, your flight will land at Tan Son Nhat International (SGN), 7km from the city centre. Are you flying into Hanoi? You’ll touch down at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), 35km from downtown. Both airports have a number of taxi services and private shuttles that can take you to and from SGN or HAN.

When you’re ready to explore outside the major cities, use one of the several railway lines or take a bus. But if you don’t want to be dependent on departure and arrival schedules, get a vehicle from lastminute.com.au’s car hire options and speed—er, drive responsibly!—off at your own pace.

Whether you come for the history, the food or all the above, you need to go now. Browse our ridiculously great offers on hotels in Vietnam and use up your annual leave. You’ve earned it.
