• Burning tours all over the world

There is an opinion that Vietnam is the same Thailand, only more natural, not so "captured" tourists. In fact, these are two completely different countries, each with their chips, and in Thailand there will be very wild corners, and in Vietnam - resorts with the most advanced infrastructure. This Vietnam is the ancient temple complexes of the departed civilizations and the natural beauty of national parks, healthy and tasty food, the cheapest diving and resorts in the world with a distinct European Fleler: how-no, the former French colony. In addition, it is possible to posstalgate in a recent one here: and the flag is almost like our former, and pioneers in ties are there, and even the leader in the mausoleum.

If Vietnam had a magical way suddenly turned out to be closer to Central Russia, the tourist flow into this country would certainly increase many times. Indeed, among the tangible minuses of this direction, only long and, therefore, an expensive flight. Everything else is solid advantages: an unusual and exciting "excursion", beautiful beaches with wide opportunities for outdoor activities, an extensive and high-quality hotel base, low prices in hotels, restaurants, on excursions.

Regions and resorts Vietnam

Vietnam can be divided into three major regions: north, south and center. Northern Vietnam is the most ancient part of the country with many sights, tea and coffee plantations, reserves and Hanoi - the capital, where the West and East is surprisingly mixed. The best time to relax - Spring.

Central Vietnam is famous for long beaches, a pleasant climate for almost all year round, beautiful views of Dananga and the ancient temples of Hue.

South - Heart of the economy. The largest city of Vietnam Ho Chi Minh, and in it - expensive hotels, the best restaurants, numerous shops and other benefits of civilization. The main resorts of the South are luxurious Fukuok, youth Nha Trang and more calm fanticheet. More information about the tourist geography of the country is told on the "Cities and Resorts Vietnam" page.

Climate

Approximately about a third of Vietnam is located at the level of 500 m above the sea, therefore the climate there is subtropical, and in areas above 2000 m - even moderate. From April-May to October, southeast monsoshs bring warm and wet weather to the country - except the areas protected by the mountains.

In the south of Vietnam (from Ho Chi Minhina to Fanthiet), you can allocate two seasons - wet and dry. The first traditionally lasts from May to November, the rainy months - June-August. The second usually begins in December and ends in April. For European tourists, this is the most favorable time. "Velvet" months - January and February: Soft sun, refreshing sea water. From the end of February until May, hot days are hot days without rains.

The best time to visit Vietnam when the rains are least likely: the period from April-May to October-November.

The climate of the Central Vietnam (from the Nha Trang resort before the ancient capital Hue): From February to August - it is clear, rains are rare, the temperature is +30 ... + 35 ° C. In mid-December - pouring rains, in October-November in the area of \u200b\u200bDananga and Hue are possible typhus, temperature +20 ... + 28 ° C.

In the north of the country (from Hanoi to the Sea Resort Halong), the winter and summer seasons are more clearly indicated than in the south. Winter, cool and wet, lasts from November to February, in February and March constantly there is a frosting rain "Fun". Since May, the summer season begins sharply: increased humidity, temperature up to +40 ° C.

Visa and customs

Citizens of Russia arriving in Vietnam for up to 15 days, the visa is not required, provided that during this time they will not leave the country, and on the island of Fukuok you can relax without a visa already 30 days. But in both cases it is worth it in advance to make a policy of health insurance for the entire trip.

How to get to Vietnam

From St. Petersburg, it is possible to get to Vietnam only with a change in Moscow, Europe or Asia, but from Vladivostok in Hanoi, you can fly directly by the company Vladivostok Avia (1 flight to 2 weeks).

Two Loadosters fly from China, Laos and Cambodia in Vietnam - "Air Asia" and "Vietget Eyre".

Both trains depart from China in the evening, and in Hanoi arrive in the morning. Prices on the page are shown in April 2019.

Search for tickets to Vietnam

Transport

Internal flights are perfectly suitable for moving between Vietnam's scattered at different ends of Vietnam. Low prices, the cost of tickets starts from 900,000 VND. You can go on the road and on trains, they are quite comfortable. From Hoshine to Hanoi to get about 30 hours, during this time the whole country will fly past the windows. Buses - the most budget version of travel on Vietnam, but it is better to use them at short distances, otherwise it will spend too much time.

Vietnam cards

Rent a car and moped in Vietnam

Accustomed to rent a car in distant countries It is worthwhile - the road traffic in Vietnam is organized poorly, the rules are rarely observed, entangled in signs and junctions - a pair of trivia. In addition, local driver's license will have to be issued for independent driving, and they are issued only with a visa for 3 or more months. An output can be the rental car along with the local driver.

But for rental bike or moped, you do not need rights. But this option is suitable for small resorts with low traffic, about traveling on the moped of Dananga or Ho Chi Minh City, without decent driving skills in Southwer, do not stutter.

Communication and Wi-Fi

On mobile communications in Vietnam, tourists are rarely complaining. It is inexpensive and covers almost the whole country, including small cities and villages. Local calls stand from 1700 VND per minute of conversation, a pleasant bonus - roaming in Vietnam No, you can use one SIM card in any city, the call to Russia will cost 3000 VND per minute.

Everything is well in Vietnam and Internet, especially in large cities. Mobile Internet often happens faster and more convenient to hotel Wi-Fi, but it must be connected separately, details - on the SIM card packaging. The speed and tariffs of the operators are approximately the same, which eliminates the flour of choice. Free Wi-Fi is in almost all hotels and restaurants.

Vietnam hotels

In large cities of Vietnam, the hotel selection is the most diverse - from mini-hotels to Lux Categories. Service in them, in general, at the average European level. Power type - breakfasts (most) or half board, the "all inclusive" system is practically not found here. The buffet is extremely diverse. All rooms from 3 to 5 stars are equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV and telephone, options for more than more baths, hairdryer, tea and coffee making sets, safes and minibars.

Prices for accommodation are kept for about a year at the same level. Night in the hotel luxury accommodation in Hanoi will cost 1,850,000 VND per day for the room for two, in four-star - from 740,000 VND, in a good "treshka" - from 200,000 VND, and accommodate for the night in the hostel will cost 80,000 VND per day per person.

Voltage in power grid 220 V, frequency 50 Hz. Plugs mainly have flat connectors. Rooms in many hotels are equipped with universal sockets, which are suitable forks of almost any configuration. If necessary, the hotel staff will find the desired adapter.

Money

The country's monetary unit is Vietnamese Dong (VND), in 1 Dong 10 Hao or 100 Su. Actual course: 1000 VND \u003d 2.68 RUB (1 USD \u003d 23145.34 VND, 1 EUR \u003d 25825.69 VND).

It is better to go to Vietnam with dollars and euros, the dollar rate is a little more profitable, but for small amounts the difference is insignificant. Rubles are rarely taken and enough for them. Currency can be exchanged in banks, exchange offices, jewelry stores, travel agency offices, in markets and even at airports - the course everywhere is about the same, the robber surcharge does not happen. But the street changes can deceive and instead of 100,000 VNDs to issue 10,000 VNDs in the calculation that the tourist will not notice the difference.

Paranoika note: The bills of Vietnamese dong are made of thin plastic, it almost does not mind and is not afraid of sea water. You can safely swim with the "cutlet" in the messenger's melting pocket.

How to avoid problems

Vietnam is one of the safest places in Asia, but here you should fear pockets and scammers. The second meets in various places - a fraudster may be an officer on the border, requiring money for a free visa, an unfortunate pedestrian, suddenly materialized under the wheels of a bike with a tourist driving, unfair hoteliers and sellers.

As for life, it is not worth drinking water from the tap, it is better not to order drinks with ice in small cafes, not to lean on an unusual food and fruit at the beginning of the trip and keep yourself in your hands in the presence of alcohol.

What other troubles can happen in Vietnam, how not to turn your body in a solid Punchy Fire, where to change money and buy a SIM card, how not to lose the location of local residents, as well as - where to run and call in case of trouble, told in the article "How Avoid problems in Vietnam. "

Legends and history of Vietnam

Here is a brief excursion to the confusing history of the Vietnamese people. For three more than a thousand years before our era on the lands of the current Vietnam Rules Tsar Dragon Lac Long Kuan. Once, pursuing a continuation of the kind, he decided to ask her hand and the heart at the poultry poultry AU Ko. The beauty did not slow down to accept the offer and bore at the prescribed period ... the bag in which 100 eggs were found, and each of each was out of one heir to the progenitor 100 Vietnamese genera. Whether a female posterity was sitting or placed in the incubator - a story is silent, but since then, every self-respecting Vietnamese responds about himself as a "Child of the Dragon, the grandson of the gods." The end of the story is very modern: after a while, the spouses diverged - Lank Long Kuan pulled half the sons and retired with them in the sea, and Au Ku killed the remaining fifs and went to live in the mountains. How nevertheless did the Lion Nikolayevich about happy and unhappy families come true!

To understand the secret of the charm of Vietnam, look at any house in a small Vietnamese town. Here it is, with a narrow, literally meter 3-4, the facade, elongated in the distance from the road (the fact is that the families are distinguished here under the houses are not square, but a footage along the street, and very small), two- or three-story. The facade is very elegant, even, perhaps, somewhat Pistenhed, bivalve doors in full swing are welcomed. Above the entrance, Naviva obscure memories of the "Dzat" CPSU Congress ", there is a red flag with a golden star in the center. The floor is higher - a small altar with dormant surrounded by smoking incense dark bronze buddha. And at the very top, on a tiny balcurity, I was biting something with small pink flower, humbly clone the head Marmara and White Virgin Mary.

Entertainment and attractions

Vietnam is ready to please guests with many diverse entertainment: from riding in elephants, visits to snake restaurants with crocodile reserves, national parks and fishing to casino and nightclubs. The highlight of the country's excursion program is considered to be the partisan tunnels of Ku Chi, but also besides them, attractions here are even debt.

Halking the crowd on the clothing market, no comparable "aroma" roasted herring, sloppy trays with poorly sewn consumer goods - all this has nothing to do with this Vietnam.

Strong, but good-natured and smiling people living in one of the most beautiful countries of Southeast Asia, trying to turn their country into a prosperous and rich country. Including, at the expense of the immense Russian market ... But in Vietnam ... everything is done here in order for the guest to feel welcome and respected. Low crime, pleasant climate, decent beaches, abundance of hotels, entertainment weight, attractions marked in world heritage lists, recognized by the "wonders" of nature and culture - all this makes Vietnam desired for tourists around the world.

It is worth adding that the price level in the country is one of the lowest in Asia, as I immediately want to start planning a journey. Moreover, a visa for those who have gathered to relax not longer than 2 weeks do not need.

Road

The road will be long, and therefore not cheap. But this is the only serious spending, everything else will cost a very modest amount.

Flying to Hanoi or Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) from Moscow or St. Petersburg is approximately the same - from 350 to 430 euros (in both ends). The "plug" is obtained large, it all depends on how hardy you are: a direct flight from Aeroflot (9 hours in the sky) will cost more, flight with transfers is cheaper. In the second case, it is necessary to reckon with the fact that the wait for the flight can be very long, departing on Monday evening, in the final point it is possible to be only in the morning on Wednesday.

Cheapest tickets offer Qatar (Transfers to Doha and Bangkok) and Etihad (transfer to Abu Dhabi).

Taking into account the cost of food during a long and tedious waiting, direct flight, ultimately, will cost cheaper.

Accommodation

The place in the hostel of the major city of Vietnam costs from 4 to 7 euros per day. Double room in a modest hotel with breakfast - from 10 euros. Similar accommodation prices are relevant for resort areas, including small hotels on the seafront.

The spacious apartment in the house next to the beach (Hoian, Nha Trang) is available from 8 euros (very popular, book no less than six months!) Up to 15 euro / day.

Double room in hotel at 3 * - 13-15 euros. The prices listed in the fall in the fall, when the flow of tourists in Vietnam runs out before the new influx in the winter months. During the "high" season (spring-summer) prices increase by 25-30%.

Food

Food in Vietnam is the most important part of the culture, as elsewhere in Asia. Recently, here also began to share cafes and restaurants for those who take tourists, and those servicing mainly local residents. Cheaper to eat in the "local" institution. And let you do not confuse plastic furniture and a Spartan atmosphere, the food here will be as tasty as in the restaurant on the contrary, but the price is one and a half or two times lower.

Breakfast in the street cafe (soup with noodle, omelette and tea) is possible for 1 - 1.5 euros. Lunch from several local dishes - 4-5 euros. Dinner with beer in the restaurant on the urban outskirts - no more than 7 euros (given our healthy appetite, which causes local just a reverent admiration).

If you have a dinner or dinner in tourist restaurants, preference giving seafood (here they are flawlessly fresh and more stunningly cooked), then you will have to prepare 10-12 euros per person (the most expensive dish - the skuffing soup - 12 euros).

Buying products in the markets or in stores, in order to prepare yourself, save a lot will not work. The thing is that the products familiar for Europeans are quite expensive for Vietnam. Therefore, the best access to the tourist is to eat in modest places for local residents.

Vietnamese cuisine is unique and unique. It is so difficult and bugly the traditions of Southeast Asia and the classic combinations of French culinary art (the country was the overseas territory of France for a long time), which turned out something completely unusual, but unusually tasty.

Contrary to numerous stereotypes, insects and crocodiles, cats and dogs, lizards and sea bugs, Vietnamese are preparing mainly for foreigners. All these ambiguously perceived dishes were in the way of the country's residents in ancient times. It is like repa and the brightness among the Russians: before the appearance and introduction of potatoes is the most common meal. But don't many are preparing a trouser or turnip to dinner?

Vietnamese cuisine stands on three "elephants": rice, vegetables, spices. Meat, fish and seafood - only the addition in the three components.

The abundance of dishes and their varieties is so great that it is very easy to "get lost" in cunning combinations of exotic products. Be sure to try you need:

• Soup "FO" - the basis of this soup - broth, rice noodles and spices. All other additives depend on where you are. If in Germany, each village is proud of its own and unique beer, then in Vietnam the same situation with FD soup. Pieces of beef, chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, crab meat, a mixture of vegetables, sharp sauce, soy sprouts - complementary ingredients can be different. Alternatively only one thing is a stunning taste!
• Cha-Gio or Ban Bao - pancakes with fillings. The dough is more like an omelet, and the taste does not compare anything. The most popular filling - pork and shrimp, but also cabbage with soy sprouts and garlic is no worse;
• It is NUONG - rice paper rolls. Every culinary himself: We take into the hands of a rice wrapper sheet, we assign the filling that I want (varieties a lot), wrap a roll, dip in a sharp sauce and ... dive into the sea of \u200b\u200bVietnamese pleasure;
• Seafood - crabs, lobsters, royal shrimps - all that is very expensive at home, here can be the basis of your diet. Crustaceans are prepared here only the freshest, and prices for similar dishes are the lowest in the world!
• Baking - hundreds of varieties of buns, cakes, cakes. All are made in old French traditions: tasty and easy;
• Coffee is a separate article for your memories. This drink here has a distinct chocolate taste, and the cooking technology is so coat, which can be combined with a gastronomic pleasure with the study of cultural traditions of Vietnam.

Europeans in Vietnam on the market pay more than local residents. "Noseged" (so-called local all European phones) are rich. So consider the aborigines. But the situation can be corrected: Cam!

The more active you will try to reduce the price, the more respected to you will immerse the seller. And if you become buying food from the same trash in the market or on the street, the less money he will take with you.

Tourist joy: natural and cultural

Due to the fact that, unlike Thailand, a massive tourist rushed to Vietnam recently, the virgin forests are preserved here, clean water bodies, and the local population meets the guests sincerely and welcome, without intenting to "surround large" (well, except for a little bit).

Today it is difficult to believe in it, but in the Middle Ages, Vietnam was an empire: a strong, extensive and very influential state of the region. Numerous architectural monuments of the country keep memories of this period. French colonial architecture also represents undoubted interest for tourists.

God saves man, who save himself

Vietnam has a reputation as one of the safest countries of the world.

From the point of view of hygiene and medicine, like every tropical country, the Motherland of Balzam "Golden Star" represents theoretical danger for the European.

Some rules still need to follow:

Transport

In a stretched from the north to south Vietnam, to move between long-distance cities, it is reasonable to use the internal flights Vietnam Airlines or Jetstar Pacific. Most often, the aircraft fly between two megalopolis - Hanoi and Ho Chief (up to 10 flights a day), but also other major cities are not deprived by regular flights.

Vietnamese trains are comfortable and follow clearly on schedule. The main route, Hanoi - Ho Chi Minhmin, will last 30 hours. Acquire tickets It is recommended at least 3 days before the date of the trip directly at the office of the station (local turcompania can easily be able to fly at the cost of the ticket and the class of the carriage).

Intercity buses makes sense to use for relatively near travel: constant speed limits on the tracks are poured into unreasonably long crossing. On the other hand, the price of bus trips are insignificant: you can take from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minhine in just 450,000 VND.

During night crossings, it is worth being very attentive with a luggage: there are no uncommon cases (small thighs are everywhere). Players and other gadgets are better removed at the first signs of dorms.

Urban transport is well developed only in large metropolitan cities: this is a taxi, various motorcycle and velaiks ("Saiklo" or "Siclo"). Taxi travel fee do not need to stipulate in advance: in all the cars there is a counter that indicates the price of the passage, and the taxi drivers usually know English a little. Taxi fare: 5500-9500 VND per kilometer plus 15 800-23 700 VND for landing.

15 800 VND moto and bicycles will have a 15-minute trip, but the amount of payment should be coordinated in advance and bargain in this case is simply necessary. The movement on the roads is not regulated, so the "traffic jams" in large cities is a common phenomenon.

Shopping and shops in Vietnam

Products here are not exposed to long heat treatment. The basis of the kitchen - rice, noodles and spices, a variety of seafood.

Many dishes are seasoned with the "whip-mothers" sauce from fermented (read: "I have overcome in our own juice") fish - however, it is not so scary to taste and smell, as it may seem. From soups worth trying light and delicious "FO": rice noodles with low-fat beef or chicken.

The French, former colonialists, noted in a local cooking, making the dried baguettes with all sorts of fillings popular as a "snack". Green tea is traditionally popular in the country, and local coffee is considered very decent.

Legends and history of Vietnam

Once, pursuing a continuation of the kind, he decided to ask her hand and the heart at the poultry poultry AU Ko.

The beauty did not slow down to accept the offer and at the prescribed period gave birth ... the bag in which a hundred eggs was discovered, and from everyone came out one to one heir to the progenitor of one hundred Vietnamese birth.

Whether a female posterity was sitting or placed in the incubator - a story is silent, but since then, every self-respecting Vietnamese responds about himself as a "Child of the Dragon, the grandson of the gods."

The end of the story is very modern: after a while, the spouses diverged - Lank Long Kuan pulled half the sons and retired with them in the sea, and Au Ku killed the remaining fifs and went to live in the mountains.

How nevertheless, rightly noticed our Lion Nikolaevich about happy and unhappy families!
