A neon metropolis of bright lights, wide boulevards and city skyscrapers, Saigon is the epicentre of urban Vietnamese culture, surrounded by the mother of its vast nature, the Mekong Delta. Your journey will throw you into the fast-paced thrill of the ancient city, showing you the buzz of the sights and the lights, before you step aboard a luxury cruise and float away through the mangrove trees into peace and tranquility. Your stay in the sprawling city will take you to impressive Buddhist pagodas and show you the history of the Vietnam War at Cha Tam Church, you will discover how and why food lies at the heart of Vietnamese life by sampling street food at Binh Tay Market, and you will experience the impressive French colonial architecture during your stay at Hotel Des Artes.
