Tips
British visitors love to visit Vietnam to experience as much as they possibly can of the country in two or three weeks. This makes Vietnam the perfect place to explore, as although the country is large, careful planning ensures visitors can experience a little bit of everything during a trip. From getting off-the-beaten-track in the mountains near Sapa, kayaking in lakes and doing water sports at the beach, to craft hunting in markets, street food tastings and home-stay experiences, Brits in Vietnam get stuck into a little bit of everything.
Brits have gained quite a taste for Vietnamese cuisine over recent years, with pho bars and traditional Vietnamese restaurants popping up across Great Britain. London’s famous newspaper, The Evening Standard, even reported on a Vietnamese food boom in the city a couple of years ago – and this trend has gone from strength to strength ever since. Brits in Vietnam love to make the most of the food when visiting the country, whether it’s street food tours or traditional food cooked by ethnic tribes, to the high-end dining scene of Ho Chi Minh City.
UK visitors to Vietnam also can’t get enough of being outdoors as much as possible, and enjoying a local beer while being outdoors is a match made in heaven. Whether it’s enjoying the beach bars of Nha Trang or sitting by city rivers watching traditional water puppet shows with a local beer in hand, this all signifies bliss to British visitors in Vietnam.
