Vietnam

Central Vietnam

The heritage-dense middle of the country, strung along a coast of beaches, ancient towns and imperial ruins.

Central Vietnam holds much of the nation’s heritage, from the lantern-lit merchant town of Hoi An to the beach city of Da Nang and its mountain resorts. Long sandy shores, a warm dry season and a run of UNESCO-listed sites make it the classic middle leg of a coast-to-coast trip.
