Vietnam Adventures is unique. This site was created by two web developers who were frustrated by the kind of information that was available for them when they traveled to Vietnam in 1995. Although you can make hotel, flight, and tour connections, Vietnam Adventures brings you well-written, first hand travel adventure narratives that are "like talking with a good friend who just returned from a trip." The notes and detail are exceptional and will lend you the spirit of your visit until you can make it yourself. Wonder site and a refreshing approach.

Vietnamtourism.com is the official government tourism vehicle of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism. Pull down menus will connect you to tour agencies and approved hotels, but the real value of this site is tucked away in the content information under the headings on the Tourism page. Don't let the unemphatic design of these pages prevent you from digging in. Good pictures, informative background, and little cant in most of these articles. Information on some places can only be found here. Good place to browse and to set your list of places to visit on your trip.

The brief, historically oriented text for the destinations covered on this site make the visit to Asia Trail Vietnam-Travel worth while. The history section is particularly informative and the main reason to stop here. Though the site needs updating, you can get a quick look at major attractions here.

The Asiatravel.com Vietnam site is the quickest way to get clear and concise information about traveling to Vietnam we could find. A single page with anchors at topic heads keeps out extraneous information and offers. "Just the facts" for General Information, Climate & Weather Conditions, People and Culture, Local Customs, Currency, Things to Know, Visas & Passports, Customs Regulations, Travel to the Country, Travel within the Country, Sightseeing, Dining and Drinking, Entertainment , and Useful Phrases. You'll appreciate the straightforward, easily accessed information.
