Stayed at Kimdo Royal City Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
|
The Sihn Cafe located in the backpack section of District 1 offers many day trips to the Mekong Delta, Chu Chi Tunnel and transfers to Cambodia. The prices are rock bottom, $7 to 15 USD. In that same area, stop by Go2 for a fresh pizza and a cold 50 cent beer. If you're backpacking, upgrade for the latest North Face or Low Alpine model pack, $15 for a 60-80 liter bag! By Dong Khoi Street there are a lot of quaint, trendy places to pick up sandwiches for lunch, coffe or fruit smoothy. Try Juice or Cafe Java. If you have time, go north on Hwy 1 to Mui Ne. There are many quality beach resorts. We stayed at Coco Beach and were very impressed. Enjoy Vietnam!

Stayed at Bong Sen Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.

Just down the street from the hotel is Juice, a multi-level restaurant. Okay, its emphasis is not authentic Vietnamese cuisine, but it has an abundance of not-to-be missed smoothies (non-dairy and otherwise) and other fruit drinks. Equally delicious are the offerings on the sandwich, salad, pizza, and dessert menu; plus they offer a page of specials that change monthly.
A good tour is a day tour of the Mekong River delta; we booked through a reputable company in the backpackers' district. I think the name was Ban Thranh.

Stayed at Kimdo Royal City Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.

Stayed at the Kimdo Hotel and it is literally next door to the TAX dept store. Not only did we use the supermarket for food, actually bought T-shirts, ao dai's, robes,etc in the supermarket.!!! There is a fountain in front of the Opera and we would go there in the evening...when families were there with their children! Great fun. Our most memorable day was the one when we went to DAM SEN PARK, District 11..we took a taxi and spent a Sunday with all the locals! We were the only caucasians there. We got stared at, bowed to, asked to be in photos with them,etc. For one whole day, there was not a vendor in sight who wanted us to buy anything! Another great place to mingle with the locals: Quan An Ngon restaurant at 138 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia...decent food and VERY few tourists. Had lunch one day at Vietnam House and I'd highly recommend it too. Our biggest disappointment in all of Vietnam was our 2 day Mekong delta trip. We signed on with Delta Adventures (highly recommended from Lonely Planet AND people we met along the way). Do not think they stuck to the itinerary. It was a very lackluster two days. Forgot to mention that although it IS a long day, thought the Cao Dai Temple was VERY impressive and worthwhile.

Stayed at De Syloia Hotel - Hanoi, Vietnam.
|
I am 77 1/2 years old, American, extremely well travelled, experienced. My favorite city in Vietnam was Hanoi--good things to see in and away from it, very fine restaurants such as "Wild Rice" beautiful inside, excellent food. Halong Bay of course I liked, the Mekong Delta for early morning floating markets, and the charming city of Hoi An a great delight. I ran out of energy but wished I could have gone to Sapa for a treak and a chance to see local colorful markets. I prefer always to travel solo, no guides except at Siem Reap, Cambodia to visit several of the temples. Definitely no tours. Not for everyone of course but I'm an independent artist.

Stayed at Sofitel Metropole Hanoi - Hanoi, Vietnam.
|
Hanoi is hustling and bustling and a 'must-do' Asian city. And the art shops are an essential 'must-do' for buying Vietnamese art. Had lovely food in the evenings in the 'Wild Rice' and 'Emperor' restaurants...and good lunch food at 'Little Hanoi'. We didn't take tours, but did our own thing, using taxis or just walking!

Stayed at Ancient House Resort - Hoi An, Vietnam.
|
Red Bridge, Tam Tam, Cargo Club and Des Amis are restaurants we would certainly recommend. For tailored clothing try A Dong on Le Loi street (they were excellent and recommended by hotel).

T & A Silk for tailored outfits, Temple Club for lunch or dinner (great deserts downstairs, separate eatery), Bamboo Cafe by Bentan Market for refreshing and reasonable meals, Saigon Saigon Bar at Caravel Hotel for the great view of the city.

Stayed at Hanoi Heritage Hotel - Hanoi, Vietnam.

My favorite thing to do in Hanoi is the water puppet show. I can also recommend Bobby Chinn's Quan An 22 Restaurant, and Cha Ca La Vong for fish!

Ho Chi Minh City--Pho Oso Restaurant at 37 Dong Khoi Street inexpensive and good. History Museum and War Remnants Museum well worth seeing.
