Top Saigon Restaurants in 2024: International Dishes Made in Vietnam

Some of the best Saigon restaurants, often scattered in and around District 1, are preciously kept, well hidden and waiting to be discovered gems. In this sense, to be able to taste something extremely delicious, you have to make your pathway through rows and rows of parked motorcycles or climb not the most beautiful interior stairs. But it’s worth the effort. Each time.

From fast food to fine dining, Ho Chi Minh City restaurants are worth to be explored. Especially when we are talking about a large cuisine of international dishes, heavenly-cooked by the Vietnamese.

It was a real delight to hop from restaurant to restaurant together with my special one in search for the best meals in Saigon.

The Dream of 3 Days in Hanoi & How to Make It Happen | A Jam-Packed Hanoi Itinerary

If you’re wondering what to do in 3 days in Hanoi as a first timer, you’ve got to the right place! I could only start that by saying that this peculiar city is wrapped up in mysticism, colors, smiles and kindness. It’s one of my favourite places in Vietnam, along with Ba Na Hills and Hoi An.

Hanoi is a city hard not to fall in love with. And 3 days are more than enough for that!

First of the 3 days in our Hanoi itinerary is a walk around the Hoan Kiem Lake, a place of folk tales and art. We start with a temple visit and continue by exploring the nearby quarters and most exciting attractions.

The second day is an introduction to the history, as well as political and educational system of Vietnam, while the third day in Hanoi is about the West Lake area, from Pagodas and Temples to modern-day skyscrapers.

Booked & Loved: 3 Bali Tours & Day Trips From Ubud With a Private Driver

Dreamy Bali tours, day trips from Ubud, with the comfort of hiring a local driver, are a rare insight into most secluded corners of a Hindu fairyland. Surrounded by the wild-emerald waters of the Indian Ocean, the Island of Gods is a tropical paradise, shattering all barriers for art intricacy and natural wonders.

Exploring Bali on your own, with a rented car or by using the so popular motorbike, can be a freedom and excitement-filled adventure. Especially for the skilled ones. But Bali tours with private drivers are also a genuine and affordable way of understanding the local culture of this heaven-made Indonesian destination.
