Vietnam
Vietnam: Bays, Lanterns & the Best Coffee
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Vietnam is a feast for the senses — motorbike-buzzing cities, a bay full of limestone islands, and a lantern-lit old town that glows at night.
The trio
The Old Quarter of Hanoi, a cruise through Ha Long Bay, and the tailors, temples and riverside lanterns of Hoi An.
Eat & sip
Pho for breakfast, banh mi from a cart, and Hanoi's famous egg coffee. Carry small notes for the markets and a rain shell for Hoi An's quick showers.
