sapa 61983 Vietadvisor
Doing a 2 day trek around Sapa in November, sleeping in a homestay in Ta Van. I have decent sneakers with good grip but they are not waterproof. The tour company says trekking shoes recommended, which honestly sounds like something they say to everyone. How muddy are the trails in November really? Anyone done it in sneakers and been fine, or is this a guaranteed regret? I do not want...

food 62274 Vietadvisor
Posted by Linzie • 3 weeks ago
We did Hanoi and the north first and honestly the food was pretty mild. Lots of herbs, black pepper, but nothing that hurt. Now we are heading down to Hue and Hoi An and everyone keeps warning us that central Vietnamese food is a whole different level of spicy. I can handle medium heat, like I eat Thai food fine at a 2 out of 5. But my friend travelling...

On part deux semaines au Vietnam en mars avec des amis, et on essaie de caler le programme. Hoi An revient dans toutes les conversations mais on ne sait pas combien de temps y rester. Deux jours ca suffit pour voir la vieille ville et faire une journee plage a An Bang ? Ou il vaut mieux prevoir trois jours et prendre son temps ? On aime bien flaner sans...

I can go any time between January and March and my one non negotiable is actually seeing the karsts instead of a wall of grey fog. I know winter can be misty but I have also seen stunning clear photos from February. If you had to pick one month for the best shot at blue skies over the bay, which would it be? And is there a month you would...

Heading to Da Lat this weekend and everyone keeps telling me the night market is the main event. Problem is I have no idea what to actually eat there beyond the obvious. I have heard about banh trang nuong (the grilled rice paper thing) and the hot soy milk, but what else is worth hunting down? Any specific stall or corner of the market that locals swear by? Also is...

We only have one full day in Ninh Binh and can realistically do one boat ride. I keep going back and forth between Trang An and Tam Coc. From what I read, Trang An is the UNESCO one with the caves and temples, Tam Coc is the quieter rice paddy route. Is one clearly better, or does it depend on the season? We will be there in late November. Also...

안녕하세요. 12월에 친구랑 베트남 처음 가는데 호치민에서 2박을 묵을 예정이에요. 그 다음 다낭으로 넘어가려고요. 호텔을 보니까 1군이랑 3군으로 나뉘던데, 밤에 걸어다니기 편하고 안전한 쪽이 어디인가요? 여자 둘이서 밤에 밥 먹으러 다니는 거 생각하고 있어요. 수영장 있으면 좋겠고 예산은 1박에 8만~12만원 정도 생각 중이에요. 1군이 시끄럽다는 얘기도 있고 3군이 로컬 분위기라 좋다는 얘기도 있어서 고민이에요. 직접 묵어보신 분 있으면 추천 부탁드려요.

Wir sind im Januar in der Gegend von Phong Nha und wollen unbedingt eine Höhlentour machen. Die Paradise Cave klingt gut, aber die Hang En Tour mit Übernachtung in der Höhle reizt mich auch total. Ist die Hang En Tour den Preis wert? Sie kostet ja deutlich mehr und man muss wohl recht fit sein. Wir sind beide Anfang 30 und sportlich, aber keine erfahrenen Höhlenforscher. Und wie sieht es...

We will be in Ho Chi Minh City next month for our anniversary and I want to book one nice evening at a rooftop bar with a real view of the skyline. Not a backpacker party bar, something a bit more grown up.Which rooftops are actually worth it and not just expensive for the view? Do you need to reserve a table in advance or can you walk in on...

coffee 63072 Vietadvisor
I have become slightly obsessed with Vietnamese coffee since arriving in Hanoi last week. Egg coffee was a revelation, but I feel like the famous spots in the Old Quarter are 90 percent tourists now. Where do actual Hanoians go for their morning ca phe? I tried a tiny place near Dong Xuan market this morning where nobody spoke English and the coffee was incredible, cost me 20k. More of...

    My thoughts on Nha Trang I'm just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I've loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It's full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I've been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing...
