Overview

Southern Vietnam Vacations

Southern Vietnam covers the Mekong Delta, the extreme southern end of the Mekong River, and the area around Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. From island escapes to the non-stop action, southern Vietnam offers both vibrant urban energy and mellow countryside

The tropical south also offers nightlife and an exciting buzz in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, or for a more relaxing time journey deep into the Mekong Delta and witness a lifestyle and tradition that has changed little over the years. A wonderful part of this versatile country.
