Freewheeling metropolis
This bustling urban metropolis with as many people as London never stops, and it seems that everyone is on motorcycles all day. The hectic pace and great shopping, combined with perfect weather, interesting sites, museums and nearby natural attractions make this a great holiday destination. Forget the "American War": this is the new face of Vietnam, and it is open to tourists like never before.
