The website advises travelers that traveling to Vietnam alone might sound intimidating, but it isn’t and there are plenty of people who travel here solo. According to Intrepid Travel, blogger Amanda Williams traveled alone to Vietnam and wrote that the nation has an established tourist trail that will make first-time visitors feel at ease.
“The main sites on the trail include places like Ha Long Bay, known for its dazzling emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands, Hoi An, a well preserved ancient town, Ho Chi Minh City, a city with tons of energy and entertainment and the Mekong Delta, which is a vast maze of rivers, swamps and islands, The Travel wrote.
Senoda in Arizona tops the list, followed by Siem Reap in Cambodia, Montreal in Canada, Lonon in the UK, Singapore, Lagos in Portugal, Costa Rica, Norway, Vienna Austria, Vietnam, etc.
Earlier, Vietnam has been ranked 19th among the best third-world countries people should visit, according a list released by The Travel.
According to The Travel, the S-shaped country is a mysterious destination filled with many different opportunities and places to explore, but that wasn't always the case.
“The Vietnam War left a black mark on the country that will likely never go away, but now, they certainly seem to be coming out the other side of it,” The Travel wrote.
It's one of the most naturally stunning destinations you could possibly visit, and that isn't an overstatement - at least not in our mind. It's also a standard stop on any gap year for kids who happen to be 'discovering' themselves before going off to college or university.
