Home to the famous Vietnamese coffee and world-renowned Pho noodles, Vietnam's eclectic food scene is only one of the reasons you should pay a visit. The country's turbulent history alone can spark one's interest enough to try to slip through the narrow Cu Chi Tunnels or roam the cities where French colonial structures stand tall to this day.
Hop on a scooter and traverse the chaotic streets of Ho Chi Minh if you dare, or take a trip from Hanoi to see the emerald waters and limestone formations of Halong Bay. No need to worry about breaking the bank during your stay - Vietnam's affordable prices make it an ideal destination for backpackers and budget travelers alike.
