Vietnam Destinations & City Guides

Hanoi, Vietnam's thousand-year-old capital, is an irresistible blend of Parisian colonial elegance, ancient Asian dynasties, and vibrant street life. Shaded boulevards, peaceful lakes, and golden ochre villas stand alongside the bustling labyrinth of the Old Quarter's 36 historic guild streets. From sipping rich egg coffee beside Hoan Kiem Lake to embarking on a luxury overnight cruise through the mystical limestone towers of Halong Bay, Tucan Holidays crafts bespoke, ATOL-protected northern Vietnam journeys with expert English-speaking private guides and luxury boutique accommodations.

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is Vietnam's economic powerhouse and most energetic metropolis. Here, high-fashion designer boutiques and chic sky bars stand side-by-side with historic French colonial landmarks like the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica and the Central Post Office designed by Gustave Eiffel. With Tucan Holidays, explore the historic Cu Chi Tunnels by private luxury speedboat along the Saigon River, drift through the floating coconut groves of the Mekong Delta, and unwind in world-class 5-star hotels in the heart of District 1.

Da Nang is Vietnam's modern coastal gem, famous for its 30-kilometre crescent of powdery golden sand at My Khe Beach, world-class 5-star international beach resorts, and dramatic natural scenery. Framed by the lush Son Tra Peninsula and the sacred Marble Mountains, Da Nang is globally recognized for the breathtaking Golden Hands Bridge held aloft by giant stone hands high in the Ba Na Hills. Located just 25 minutes from the UNESCO ancient town of Hoi An, Da Nang is the ideal beach base in Central Vietnam.

Hoi An is widely regarded as Vietnam's most enchanting town. Once a major 15th to 19th-century international maritime spice trading port, the preserved UNESCO Ancient Town is a fairytale maze of mustard-yellow shophouses, Japanese covered bridges, Chinese assembly halls, and thousands of hand-painted silk lanterns that glow magical colours after dark. Motorised vehicles are banned in the historic core, creating a peaceful, pedestrian-friendly paradise where you can bicycle past emerald rice paddies directly to the golden sands of An Bang Beach.
