If you have yet to visit\u00a0Vietnam<\/a>, you ought to. The country is home to a stunning mix of breathtaking natural landscapes, rich culture and history, and also booming cities. The striking landscape here can\u00a0take you from jagged mountainous peaks to\u00a0tropical beaches, or from verdant rice terraces in the lushest shades of green imaginable to tranquil paddy fields. The nation's rich, longstanding history and diverse ethnic minority groups also mean there will be\u00a0plenty for culture vultures to sink their teeth into. Though not as commercialised as some of its counterparts in the region<\/a>, Vietnam is no doubt slowly shedding its old war-torn image to become an increasingly pulsating, spirited destination.<\/p>

While the rural areas are replete with fantastic panoramic scenes for\u00a0your eyes to feast on, the big cities like Ho Chi Minh<\/a> and Hanoi bustle with contemporary life and ample opportunities for you to get drawn into their culinary delights. This fascinating country is definitely one of Southeast Asia's underrated destinations and should definitely make it to your travel bucket list. Head up to our gallery above for the 10 best places to visit in Vietnam<\/strong>!<\/p>
