Ho Chi Minh City Free Walking ToursSponsored •

Free walking tours in Ho Chi Minh City are great for getting to know the history of the city and some of its most popular landmarks through the eyes of a local. A quick search online will lead you to several non-profits or universities organising free walking tours to help local youths improve their English and hospitality skills. Most tours are held in the morning, from 08:00 until 12:00, stopping at popular hotspots within the city centre.

Ideal for when you’re travelling on a tight budget but still wants to enjoy some sightseeing during our holiday, there’s no hidden charges but you’re more than welcome to tip your guide for their time (though most will even decline your offer). However, you are required to pay for admission fees when entering certain attractions, such as Reunification Palace (VND 30,000) and War Remnants Museum (VND 15, 000). Free Walking Tours in Saigon can also arrange for tours in the afternoon, but we highly advise against it as you’ll be walking under the scorching sun for about four hours. It’s also a good idea to wear sunscreen and a hat in the morning (and throughout the day), as well as some cash to pay the entrance fees for selected tourist spots.

Vietnamese Food What to Eat in VietnamSponsored •

In the past few years Vietnamese food has become more and more popular around the world. Food lovers may have tried the two best known Vietnamese dishes – spring rolls and bread rolls. Rice, noodles, fresh vegetable and herbs all play big roles in Vietnamese food, making it one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.

In Vietnam you’ll discover one unmistakable fact: Vietnamese people love noodles. They eat them every day, sometimes for every meal. Vietnamese noodles are made from a few basic ingredients, the most common being rice, wheat and mung beans, but a whole sub-cuisine is built on these basics.

You see, dark leafy green veggies, crunchy nuts, ripe fruits and whole grains that we add to our daily diet don’t just eliminate our hunger and feed our appetite, but in fact, they provide our body a wide host of essential nutrients that are required for regulating bodily processes and monitoring our health.

What to Eat in Hanoi Vietnam – A Hanoi Food Guide

Wondering what to eat in Hanoi Vietnam? Our Hanoi food guide showcases the best food that we ate in Hanoi over five weeks in Vietnam’s chaotic capital city. Check out our favorite Hanoi restaurants, cafes, bars and street food because you won’t want to miss a thing during your visit.

Stepping into the chaotic streets of Hanoi can be scary. Wherever you are, motorbikes and cars whiz by haphazardly. There aren’t many crosswalks, and the relative few in the city are more suggestive than heeded. In fact, we jokingly refer to these walkways as suggested crossings! Yes, pedestrian conviviality has never been a Hanoi strong suit.
