Bradt 2026
This new Bradt Vietnam guidebook is an indispensable travel companion celebrating a country that contains multitudes and subverts expectations.
Vietnam enjoys 2,000 miles of coastline, complete with storied islands, beachside towns and fishing villages.
Further inland sit historic heritage cities, jungle-cloaked mountains, terraced paddy fields, flower-fringed waterways and thousand-year-old temples.
With its diverse geography, layered history and world-renowned food culture, it’s little wonder that the country is increasingly appealing to discerning, independent travellers.
Written by a long-term resident, Bradt’s Vietnam provides in-depth and unparalleled cultural, historical and geographical context to all three regions in the country: northern, central and southern.
This new Bradt Vietnam guidebook comprehensively covers the major cities and sites – but it also explores lesser-known corners for self-tailored experiences that dodge the crowds.
Responsible and meaningful travel is at the book’s heart, with particular attention given to minimising the environmental impact of travel, contributing to the local economy and supporting artists, artisans and marginalised communities.
