Binh Quoi Tourist Village 🌾
Ho Chi Minh City 📍
This tourist gardens is a short taxi ride away from Ho Chi Minh City centre. Here you will find a huge lilliepad pond at the entrance. This makes for a great photo from any angle. We walked across the ‘bridge’ in the middle to get this shot. The reason this features in our Best Places To Visit in Vietnam, is because we did not expect to find somewhere this beautiful and surrounded by nature, in the hectic city that is Ho Chi Minh.

The Cafe Apartments ☕
Ho Chi Minh City 📍
This apartment block once houses Military personal during the 50’s and 60’s. Now it is home to some of the best coffee and smoothie shops around. Each floor has its own boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants, the hardest part is picking just one!

Hoa Son Dien Trang Flower Garden 🌸
Da Lat 📍
Da Lat is known as the town of eternal Spring due to its climate and rain fall. What better way to see its glory than an afternoon exploring the Flower Garden in Da Lat. This park on the side of the mountains has a collection of sculpture art that you can interact with. These shots were some of our favourites from our morning there.

Clay Tunnel 🌛🗿
Da Lat 📍
This attraction is very strange but worth the visit! Just like the title suggests, it is a huge man made clay tunnel. Along the tunnel are carvings of larger than life sculptures. The prize is at the end of the tunnel, the two faces in the water. We went here purely for the photo and we weren’t disappointed.

Faifo Coffee ☕
Hoi An 📍
The famous rooftop in Hoi An which is located at the top of this coffee shop. This rooftop hosts beautiful views of the streets below. Sitting on the wall is the main attraction so expect a queue at all hours. For an added laugh, look over the wall on the right hand side to see the floppy hat graveyard of instagrams before you. A bread crumb of instagramers we like to think of it as. We recommend The Watermelon Juice.

92 Station☕
Hoi An 📍
This was our hidden gem of Hoi An. While wondering the streets we looked up and saw an empty rooftop. After some investigating we found this restaurant to be empty and with the most beautiful views looking over the whole of Hoi An. The menu is also great here and we even had a few cocktails, which come with free finger food! The rooftop is just as beautiful and a lot quieter than Faifo Coffee.

Hoi An Vibes Only – Sunday Interior design shop✨
Hoi An 📍
Hidden in an Interior design shop, this Instagram location can be tricky to find. The shop is called ‘Sunday’ and is one of several shops with the same name in Hoi An. The correct location can be found below. We simply went inside and the staff knew we wanted to take photo and were very nice and let us in. They even helped us get changed into our new tailored clothes and put a fan on so we could cool down. May in Vietnam is no joke, it is HUMID

ANY.YELLOW.WALL. 💛
Hoi An 📍
Hoi An is beautiful any way you point your camera. The amazing thing about this town is that all the walls are bright yellow. This makes for the perfect instagram photo as all you need to do is stand against one! The contrasting colours between the old doors and walls can make for a great photo!
Lanterns🏮
Hoi An 📍
Another famous trait of Hoi An are the Lanterns which can be found everywhere. At the night markets there are stools of lanterns which you can pose in front of for a small fee. We jumped on a boat and got a photo of them behind me instead. Stand under, next to, or in front of and you will guarantee a great picture!

Golden Hand Bridge 💛
Da Nang 📍
This location is a controversial topic to us. We would only recommend this location if you are after a great photo. If you want a photo on this bridge, then check out our guide on it here. If you don’t care about a photo then we would recommend to miss this tourist trap.

Abandoned places are always fun to explore, but an abandoned water park takes the cake. This is for the most adventurous traveller. It has an element of mystery which is enough to get the adrenaline running, while trying to get inside. Check out how to get in, how much to bribe the guard here!

The entrance is surrounded by a huge pond which is covered in Lilliepads.

Ha Long Bay View Point ⛰️
Ha Long 📍
After another hike? Then you need to climb to this view point in the town of Ha Long. We would say this was one of the top best places to visit in Vietnam. This viewpoint is closed to the public so getting here can be hard. It involves finding the right house, bribing the owner, rock climbing, squeeing through a fence, then hiking to the top of the stairs and over rocks. Sounds like fun? Check out our guide here.

Ha Long Bay🛳️
Cruising around Ha Long Bay
If you are after a bit of luxury, then you need to experience this bath on a ship which is cruising through the incredible islands of Ha Long bay. Serenity cruises offer a 5* experience which is 1N,2D boat trip around the bay.

Hanoi Train Street 🚂
Hanoi 📍
Have you ever had coffee this close to the train tracks? Witness the amazing ordeal these coffee shop owners go through every day. Watch how they pack their seats away to let the train drive through, then set everything out again. The train passes through twice a day during the week, more often at weekends. It is pretty impressive to see yourself. All train times can be found along the walls of the coffee shops down this street.

Baked by Julia 🍰
Hanoi 📍
Hop, skip and a jump away from the Train Street is BAKED by Julia. Julia is some what of a goddess who makes the best cakes around. Indulge in the pink heaven she has created while trying some coffee and cake. We recommend the Mango and Strawberry tea!
↠📍Location
The Note Cafe
Hanoi 📍
A room filled with love. Read notes from people all over the world, leaving their mark in this cute little coffee shop. Write a love letter, write your Instagram handle or write some inspirational words. It was so much fun to write lots of notes ( we got carried away ok) and have had people message us after who found our notes!
