Vietnam is a narrow country of striking landscapes that lie squeezed in between the Laos and Cambodia and the South China Sea. There are deep valleys, sparkling sand beaches, and lofty mountains to explore. In short, there is something here for every kind of tourist.

Today, Vietnam ranks high among the touristic hotspots of the world, because of its incredible landscapes and history. Every tourist must add Vietnam to his bucket list as it is indeed a spectacular travel destination.  It is very easy to reach Hanoi as it is well connected to other parts of the world by air. One can also take trains and buses to Hanoi, and one of the popular routes is to take buses or speedboats from Cat Ba island to Hanoi. Whatever mode of transport you pick, ensure that you make a safe and secure booking for a reliable booking platform.

Once you have explored the frenzied capital of Vietnam, it is time to look ahead and explore other parts of the country.

Although there are fantastic panoramas and views all across Vietnam, there are some spots that should not be missed out by anyone.
