Vietnam

Stunning rice fields, the most beautiful bays, and delicious food

Vietnam, a stunning country in Southeast Asia, is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, delicious cuisine, and welcoming people. With an area approximately 13 times larger than the Netherlands and nearly 100 million inhabitants, Vietnam offers a diverse and vibrant culture to explore. The bustling capital, Hanoi, has over 7 million residents, while Ho Chi Minh City in the south, formerly known as Saigon, provides a lively contrast with more than 8 million people.

Traveling to Vietnam is an adventure in itself. From the Netherlands, you can fly to this beautiful country in about 12 hours. Vietnam has a tropical climate, which means it is warm year-round, with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius. The rainy season, also known as the monsoon period, runs from May to October, with the heaviest rainfall occurring in June, July, and August. If you are traveling with children, the best time to visit Vietnam is from November to March. However, don’t be discouraged by the rainy season! Most of the rainfall during this time occurs in the evenings and at night, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful sights and activities during the day. Therefore, Vietnam is also a fantastic destination for families during the summer vacation.
