I lived in Vietnam for 16 years and, in the last three decades since I left the country, I have visited it twice, with the most recent one in last summer. It is difficult to compare Vietnam to other tourist destinations, e.g. Hawaii, Hong Kong, Europe, or Thailand. With the war and the earlier French-Indochine links, there is an intriguing factor about visiting Vietnam, especially to many westerners and more specifically to many people living in such countries as USA or France.
Itself a big country, Vietnam has many cities, each offering a different view and reason for your visit. I'm actually planning a family trip there this summer and am listing out the major destinations here:
* Ha-Noi/Hue/Hoi-An: culture/people, sightseeing of historical and traditional places
* Ha Long Bay: sightseeing (cave, bay, beach)
* Da-Nang: beautiful beach (I recommend a stay in Furama)
* Nha-Trang: beach/resort/island & also a bit of sightseeing
* Saigon: people, activities, food
* Mekong River tour: people, river, sightseeing, fruits/food
* Phu Quoc island: sightseeing/beach
Since it has been more than 30 years since the war, you would see less and less remnants about the war itself. There might be a few museums left, some old regime's buildings/palaces to see, or the Cu-Chi tunnel which is sure to intrigue many foreigners. Driving through the cities would give you a peak into the more agricultural and rural part of Vietnamese's everyday life. The major cities have seemed to grow and develop a lot in the recent years.
So overall, to visit Vietnam is to enjoy a combination of its culture, its beauty, its food, as well as its history. Many places to go, a lot more than what I listed above, so just pick the time, plan the tour, pack your bags, and go. Enjoy!

there are quite a number of places so that you'll be able to head. As a Vietnamese, I knew how warm it will be in HCMC this summer season, notwithstanding, that's the most excellent city. besides, in case you wanna study about Vietnam's custom, attempt to get to Hue, Hoian or Hanoi. about food, each section were given its own classic dish, yet you extremely won't be able to miss Pho. it really is so particular for both Vietnamese people and foreigners. Vietnam's tourism is sometimes so noisy throughout the time of summer season holiday journeys so wish that you're going to have a good holiday there.

being from Australia I found Vietnam to be fantastic. So different culturally. Everyone was very nice and eager to help. It is very beautiful and highly recommended to visit. This was my first trip overseas and I cant wait to go again, possibly back to Vietnam since I loved it so much.
