Vietnam will always be one of the world's most beautiful and intriguing destinations, and 2022's re-opening offers a window of opportunity like no other. Right now, world-famous destinations like Halong Bay, Sapa and Hoi An are quiet and peaceful, in a state not seen for a decade or more.

This gives us the chance to see the country at its most authentic, to enjoy Hoi An's fluttering lanterns without the crowds, to admire the breath-taking karst islands of Halong Bay in a state of tranquillity, and so much more.

Big name destinations, without the crowds
If your dreams include big-name destinations like Sapa or Hue - and who could blame you? - then 2022 is a wonderful time to join us for a tour, beating other international tourists to the punch. You'll see Sapa's world-famous rice terraces at the quietest they've ever been and walk trails that have hardly been disturbed for two years.

2022 will also be a particularly wonderful time to visit the scholarly city of Hue. The seat of emperors from 1802 to 1945, at Hue's heart is its Forbidden Purple City - atmospheric, beautiful and extraordinarily photogenic, and quieter now than we can ever remember.

Of course, some major cities like Hanoi and Saigon will always be full of life, with or without the tourists - and we love them for it. Vintage Vespas still whoosh through Saigon's streets and locals throng at pavement cafes to exchange news while sipping Hanoi's famous 'egg coffee'. But how wonderful would it be to experience these cities now? To explore the monuments of Hanoi's Ho Chi Minh Quarter in peace, or to see Saigon's French Colonial architecture without a queue in sight?
