A ravishing coastline of more than 3,000km, mighty emerald-green chains of mountains, breathtaking national parks, dynamic cities, outstanding cultural and culinary interests, Viet Nam has it all!
Coming to Viet Nam to awake your senses, to begin your true journey and adventure- challenge yourselves in a dynamic and young city- Ho Chi Minh in its crisscrossed traffic and legendary land of Cu Chi- a so-called underground city in the American war, then bewitch yourself with canal and watery life on unique floating markets in the Mekong Delta or Nine- Dragon river as we name it. Test your bravery trekking overnight in the National Park Nam Cat Tien....Leave it all behind to reach one of the most beautiful beaches in the world- Nha Trang. Freely immerse yourselves in the vast turquoise sea water at Phu Quoc and Con Dao islands. Meditate in peace on the ancient and pensive town of Hoi An and Hue- with glistening lanterns and where time seems to pause. Astonish yourself in the breathtaking moments seeing thousands of limestones islands in Ha Long Bay. Slalom through the majestic inland karst mountains of Cao Bang. Hike mountain tracks and explore trial villages near Sapa and Bac Ha. Your journey would be incomplete missing Ha Noi- the capital of Viet Nam with more than one-thousand- year of cultural establishment.
Coming to Vietnam to bewitch the hidden but sexy charm of ao dai and conical hats, to smell an unforgettable smell of nuoc mam and to feel secure and happy at naive smiles of Vietnamese.
LANGUAGE

● Official language: Vietnamese.
● Foreign languages: English, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean..., which are taught at schools and foreign language centers.

Dialects
Vietnamese is spoken differently depending on geographic location. Each region and province has its distinct dialect. Even though grammatical differences are negligible, Vietnamese varies greatly in tone, accents and even vocabulary. The Hanoi accent is considered the “standard” Vietnamese.
Tones
Vietnamese seems complicated to foreigners because it is mono syllabic and has six different tones. Hence, sounds that are slightly different will have totally different meaning. The 6 tones of Vietnamese are:
Level: ma (ghost)
High rising: má (mother, used in the South)
Low falling: mà (but)
Dipping- rising: mả (tomb)
High rising glottalized: mã (horse)
Low glottalized: mạ (young rice plant)

CURRENCY
● Official currency in Vietnam: dong, mostly in POLYMER NOTES (in which includes notes of: VND 500,000; 200,000; 100,000; 50,000; 20,000; 10,000; 5,000; 2,000; 1,000; 500; 200 and 100)
● Cheques with value as Vietnamese dong include: VND 1,000,000 and 500,000.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
● Direct payment of cash is most popular in Cambodia. Other methods of payment are not accepted in small shops, restaurants and markets..
● Major credit cards (Visa, Master Charge and to some extent American Express) are increasingly being used, especially in big cities and tourist places, but only in restaurants, hotels or big shopping malls with a transactional fee (3%-5%).
● Traveler’s cheques are an easy method of carrying money around, and can be cashed at big banks.
ATM MACHINES
For those hesitant to carry a large amount of cash around, ATMs (automatic teller machines) have become increasingly popular in Vietnam (mostly in cities) and have attracted many foreign visitors.
Most banks offer this service and the registration for an account is simple and fast. All ATMs are locally interconnected.
VND and USD can be withdrawn from ATM
EXCHANGE MONEY
You can exchange your money at the airport before leaving, or at banks and official exchange centers in Vietnam. It is strongly recommended that you do not exchange money in the black market or in street..
