Best of Vietnam: The best hotels, restaurants and souvenirs
The Southeast Asian country has more to offer than you could see and experience in a lifetime. However, these highlights in Vietnam should not be missed.
Most beautiful beach
Where pepper and palm trees grow
Vietnams größte Insel Phu Quoc ist legendär für ihre weißen Sandstrände, üppigen Regenwald und hochwertigen Pfeffer. Nicht verpassen: die legendären Nachtmärkte in Duong Dong!
Culture
Pagoda Island
Hanois Tran-Quoc-Pagode aus dem sechsten Jahrhundert, die sich an schönen Tagen im glasklaren Wasser des Westsees spiegelt, sollte man einmal im Leben gesehen haben.
Gourmet tips
Anan Saigon
Das „Anan“ zählt zu Recht zu den besten Restaurants Asiens: Chef Peter Cuong-Franklin kredenzt im Herzen Saigons Streetfood-inspirierte vietnamesische Cuisine. Pho-Fans dürfen sich zudem über eine eigene Nudelbar im schicken Restaurant freuen – toll!

Quince Saigon
When Vietnam cooks Mediterranean food, it's a pleasure to be a guest. At Quince, Julien Perraudin and Charlie Jones prove their artistry. They create a successful symbiosis of rustic home cooking and luxurious, aromatic cuisine. It's something to behold!
