Explore Vietnam’s cities and coast by rail
14 nights from £4,459 per person based on 2 sharing
You’ll begin in Hanoi, where a city tour introduces you to the capital’s landmarks and busy streets. In the Old Quarter, small shops, cafés, and street-food stalls line the narrow lanes, making it easy to pause and sample local dishes as the city moves around you. For a change of pace, head to nearby Hoan Kiem Lake, a peaceful green oasis near the Old Quarter that is steeped in legend and history.
Next, you’ll head to Hoi An, where the old streets and riverside setting invite you to wander and take your time exploring. During the included half-day cooking class, you’ll prepare Vietnamese dishes and sit down to enjoy what you’ve made. The itinerary also takes you up into the mountains to Ba Na Hills, reached by cable car. There, you can walk across the Golden Bridge, held aloft by giant stone hands, and take in views across the surrounding hills.
As your journey reaches Saigon, climb aboard an open-air jeep for a half-day tour through the city. Feel the pace of daily life as you travel past bustling streets and changing neighbourhoods, taking in the sights and sounds from your seat along the way. It’s a memorable way to experience Saigon up close and bring your rail journey to a lively close.
The rail journeys are part of the experience, with changing views from limestone countryside to the central coast along the way. Your stays offer a change of pace too: La Siesta Classic Hang Thung has an open-air heated pool in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, while Anantara Quy Nhon Villas offers a quieter coastal retreat beside a private cove, with pool villas.
