10 thoughts on “ the central viet nam heritage discovery ”.

Our trip with A Travel Mate had a duration of 6 days. We visited Phong Nha Cave, Paradise Cave, Imperial Citadel, Hai Van pass, and Hoi An among some of the places. The absolute highlight of the tour was having Cong as your driver through the entire trip. He is highly flexibly and great company. He can show you some very local places that you would not find on your own. Another highlight of the trip for us, we see Hai Van Cloudy Pass – the most breathtaking scenery I have ever seen. A wonderful way of experiencing the country. This part is highly recommendable.

This is an awesome and honest tour company. Phuc was an amazing guide and An our driver was safe and punctual. It was my daughters 21st birthday and the company arranged a beautiful cake for her. Our lunch at a garden restaurant was fantastic. I highly recommend this company – private tour is the way to go. Thank you again for showing us so much

Ms Angelina and her team are providing excellent service. They react very fast and deliver what they promise and anticipate on customers wishes. We appreciated the trust and flexibility. The car was well maintained and clean. Driver was ok, could have been a little bit more active. Thanks so much for making our 6 days in Central Vietnam a wonderful experience

Huy, our guide, was great. He was early picking us up at our hotel, he was friendly and very knowledgeable about the areas.The tour itinerary was exactly what we wanted to experience, and we weren’t disappointed. Highlights for us were Lang Co Bay and the Marble Mountain. Paradise Cave, Hai Van Cloudy Pass. Brilliant tour, highly recommended!

Our guide Tri spoke excellent English and was really interesting. He told us about Vietnam and was a real pleasure. At each stop over he gave us time to be on our own so we could explore each site for as long as we wanted. This meant we never felt under pressure and gave us time to enjoy our holiday. The best stop points are Paradise Cave and the Marble Mountain. These are must do visits, we really enjoyed them. Tri also took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch and gave us excellent tips on restaurants in Hoi An. I would thoroughly recommend this tour company since it delivers a very personal service at a very competitive price.

I am glad to share my experiences with A Travel Mate. The tour was a Paradise Discovery. As mentioned in the description of the tours they are really dedicated people with full of passion and energy. A great team accompanying us in the discovery was so great. Within 6 days we covered quite a great distance but with relaxation and fun. Places like Phong Nha, Da Nang, Hue, Ba Na Hills, My son, … oh… great. The guide knew well where to go, how to go and what will make the touring party enjoy the travel. For a good tour, not only the vehicle, the accompanying team is important. The experience was spectacular, amusing and very worthwhile and fantastic. Worth for the money spent. Looking forward to returning to Hoi An to make another great travel with A Travel Mate

A Travel Mate is the best tour company in vietnam. Angelina ms is the greatest lady in vietnam that we’ve talked to! thank you for the great visit to Phong Nha, Danang and Hoi an and for the information and professional team showing us the fabulous highlights of this great region of Vietnam, it made the holiday so much better than we expected

Vinh made our time in Vietnam the best family trip we’ve been on. He was extremely knowledgeable, very engaging and had a great sense of humour. We were lucky to be with him for6 days and visited Phong Na national park and the amazing cave systems, Hue city and Danang. We all missed him so much we met up with him in our free time in Hoi an and went out for a lovely meal. We can’t recommend him highly enough and we will make a trip back to this magical place and will definitely use Vinh again.

We went to the Paradise Cave, which was one of my top things I did while travelling Vietnam. Son was one of the coolest tour guides I’ve met, so friendly and knowledgable, and his English is really good, too – not to mention he’s funny. Driving through the Hai Van pass from Hue to Da Nang was such a great experience, and would’ve been a lot less interesting if I had been alone…

it was a great tour, been to many nice places such as Hai Van Pass, My Son, Hoi An, Hue … further to that, super friendly staff with hospitality is there to take care of you. very much enjoy. Thank you Angelina Ms and A Travel Mate

Central Vietnam is full of memorable destinations, from the beautiful beaches and fishing villages on the South Central Coast to the coffee plantations and stunning scenery of the Central Highlands.

Are you looking to explore Central Vietnam, but not sure where to start? Look no further! In this guide, we’ll show you seven must-visit destinations in the region. To make planning your trip easier, we’ve divided the destinations into areas, so you can map out your itinerary from north to south.

Table of Contents

Northern central coast.

The Northern Central Coast of Vietnam is a treasure trove of history. Starting with artifacts and relevant sites from the Vietnam War and stretching all the way back to the ancient history you’ll find in the largest cave in the world.

1. Hue: The Citadel & Perfume River

Hue used to be the capital of Vietnam during the days of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. Because of that, the Hue Citadel is one of Vietnam’s most majestic examples of pre-colonial architecture. The Citadel of the Ancient City is usually peaceful and serene. Still, the area around the imperial city is generally alive with historical and cultural experiences, from traditional music shows to museums. If you want to avoid the rainy season and try to catch some festivals in Hue, you can check out  the best time to visit Hue here.

The area of Hue surrounding Central City is known for its romantic landscapes. The most famous is the Perfume River, which winds directly through the city and gets its name from the aromatic flowers from the orchards upstream that fall into the river during the autumn months. The Perfume River has great spiritual, cultural, and historical significance for the city, and a cruise on the Perfume River is the most scenic way to enjoy the vistas of romantic Hue. After a cruise down the Perfume River, head to the nearby Thien Mu Pagoda to enjoy the sunset. Or drive over the Hai Van Pass to Lang Co Beach.

2. Quang Binh Province: Phong Nha and Dong Hoi

The main attraction of Quang Binh province in Central Vietnam is Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. The UNESCO Heritage Site is home to the world’s largest cave, Son Doong Cave. Son Doong is part of a massive cave system that includes Paradise Cave, also known as Thien Duong Cave. Phong Nha-Ke Bang also contains unique karst landscapes, scenic waterways, and incredible biodiversity.

The most incredible experience in Phong Nha is exploring its caves, set amidst lush jungles and fresh rivers. For those keen on delving into this adventurer’s paradise and learning more about the caves and tours, check out  ‘Phong Nha Cave Tours: Explore Central Vietnam’s UNESCO Wonders.’ . But beyond the caves, there’s an untouched, rural beauty to be discovered in Phong Nha.

Explore Phong Nha: Discover tours, top attractions, local cuisine, and the best places to stay.  

Dong Hoi is a small city beside Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park with an airport and train station that connects to other major cities in Vietnam. It’s certainly not a metropolis, but its small size only adds to its quaint charm. Dong Hoi is an ideal stopover and resting place before conquering trekking and caving expeditions in the nearby national park. Check out this link to  Discover Dong Hoi Vietnam: The Sleepy Seaside City & Gateway to Phong Nha.

PRO TIP:  If you’re looking for some beautiful hidden gems in the North Central Coast, head up to the mountains, rivers, and long coastline of Thanh Hoa Province to check out Pu Luong Nature Reserve, Cua Lo Beach, and Sam Son Beach.

Central Coast

The Central Coastal region of Vietnam may be the most popular part of the country for those trying to escape the intensity of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City because they are two of the top destinations in Vietnam.

Da Nang, the unofficial capital city of Central Vietnam, merges natural beauty with its cityscape in a way few other cities in the world do. The population of Da Nang City is over 1.1 million, but the town itself is built around beautiful beaches and forests. For example, My Khe Beach, often hailed as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, is located beside one of the city’s main strips of road.

Even though it’s a naturally beautiful city, Da Nang visitors can still find a strong dose of that excitement they can see in big cities. For example,  Da Nang’s nightlife scene  is booming. Check out some  popular tours in Da Nang  and the surrounding area.

The area around Da Nang is amazingly beautiful, too. For instance, the Marble Mountains, located about 45 minutes drive from Da Nang, are one of Central Vietnam’s greatest natural wonders and overlook Non Nuoc beach, a serene getaway for those looking for some sand and sea.

And then there’s Hai Van Pass, a world-famous mountain pass with perhaps one of Southeast Asia’s best panoramic views that displays Central Vietnam’s lush beauty. Hai Van is partly in Da Nang and partly in Hue.

4. Hoi An Ancient Town – UNESCO World Heritage Site

It’s not a controversial statement to say that Hoi An is one of the most beautiful towns in Asia, an idea reinforced by UNESCO’s decision to make it a World Heritage site in 1999. Situated in Quang Nam province, Da Nang’s neighbor.

The old town feels quaint and buzzing with energy, largely thanks to its well-preserved historical architecture that mixes indigenous and foreign influences, diverse cultural influences, and its unique heritage. An evening walk along the Thu Bon River in the center of the ancient town, while colored lanterns line both banks, is one of the quintessential Vietnamese activities you’ll find.

Hoi An is also a hub for upscale shopping, cultural experiences like pottery-making, finding unique street food, and more. There are many fascinating day trips from Hanoi, like the My Son Sanctuary, another World Heritage Site, or Cua Dai Beach, a seaside sanctuary just minutes from Hoi An known for its soft sand and peaceful atmosphere. Really, this town has everything you could want as a traveler in Vietnam. Experience it all with the  Hoi An Sunset Tour  and more popular  Hoi An activities .

Explore Hoi An: Discover tours, top attractions, local cuisine, and the best places to stay. 

Pro Tip:  Alongside Cua Dai Beach’s soft sands and clear waters, Hoi An boasts other stunning beaches. An Bang Beach is known for its calm vibe and beachside cafes, while Ha My Beach offers secluded serenity. The Cham Islands are perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts, and Bai Rang Beach presents a rustic charm. For sunsets and seafood, Tan Thanh Beach is a must-visit. Each beach around Hoi An enhances its appeal as a destination of natural beauty and cultural richness.

Southern Central Coast

As you travel further south down the coast of Vietnam, you’ll encounter some beautiful beach towns.

5. Nha Trang Beach –  Khanh Hoa Province

Nha Trang is Vietnam’s premier beach city. It brings together the laid-back and traditionally more liberal culture of Southern Vietnam with the more conservative culture of Central Vietnam. It’s also great for sun-kissed days, snorkeling, diving, and other watersports. Nha Trang Beach, located at the center of the city, is probably the epicenter for the endless amount of aquatically-based attractions in the city, such as:

• VinWonders, a huge waterpark.
• Multiple aquariums, the most popular of which is Vinpearl Aquarium.
• Hon Mun Marine Protected Area.
• Thap Ba Hotsprings.
• Local fishing villages.

Nha Trang is also known for having some of Vietnam’s tastiest seafood. For an optimal experience, look up some of  the best restaurants in Nha Trang with a sea view here.

6. Quy Nhon Beachside City

Quy Nhon is a peaceful getaway for those who want to soak up as much relaxation vibes as possible, as it’s not a bustling tourist destination like Nha Trang. The town’s architectural style is traditional Vietnamese through and through, and the locals tend to exude an atmosphere of Southern hospitality that most travelers love. The town’s biggest assets, though, are its beautiful beaches. Ky Co Beach, Bai Xep Beach, and Quy Hoa Beach are a few of the most popular, boasting pristine sands and crystal-clear water.

Discover Quy Nhon: Discover tours, top attractions, local cuisine, and the best places to stay.

PRO TIP:  After Quy Nhon, head south to Phu Yen, where you can explore hidden gem attractions like Ghenh Da Dia, a stretch of basalt columns resembling stacked plates along the coastline. With its tranquil beaches and charming rural areas, this province offers a refreshing retreat for travelers seeking a serene and authentic Vietnamese experience.

The Central Highlands

The Highlands lie on the inland side of the Annamite Mountains, so they’re an opportunity for travelers to trade in the ocean breezes of the coastal regions for some mountain air.

The Highlands are home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in Central Vietnam due to the rolling hills that characterize the area. The extreme ethnic diversity of the region, fronted by the hill tribes dotting the countryside, also helps give it a rugged feel that the parts of Vietnam that are closer to sea level do not offer. The Highlands also have a pleasantly cool climate for much of the year that is more similar to what travelers might expect from a visit to the Swiss Alps than what they usually get in tropical Vietnam.

Da Lat is the only big city in Central Vietnam’s Highlands. Even though the population is only 425,000, the city gets around 7 million tourists most years.

It’s easy to see why, too: it’s got the same cool climate as the rest of the Highlands, beautiful vistas, natural beauty nestled right into the city, and some of the most flavorful yet distinct cuisine in any part of Vietnam.  Check out this article to discover the must-try local dishes in Dalat before you visit.  

Da Lat offers many activities for visitors to indulge in. You could sip coffee while enjoying the stunning natural beauty, kayaking or trekking in the mountains, visit waterfalls and pagodas, or even experience glamping.

The city also boasts several luxurious activity centers like golf courses, shopping malls, and well-manicured gardens and parks.

Hidden Gems in Central Vietnam

Besides the must-visit destinations mentioned here, there’s a lot to explore in Central Vietnam. For those who have time, renting a mountain bike or a motorbike and wandering around the highways and byways of Quang Nam Province, Khanh Hoa Province, Phu Yen Province, and Thanh Hoa Province is an amazing way to experience what authentic Central Vietnam is really about. And who knows, you may stumble upon some romantic scenery or hidden gems that make your experience in Central Vietnam even more memorable.

Central Vietnam is Waiting

Central Vietnam beautifully merges ancient cities, stunning coastlines, and the lush highlands, offering a perfect mix of nature, history, and culture. As you plan your journey, consider venturing both to popular tourist spots and off-the-beaten-path hidden gems. This region has something special for every traveler.

Nature and trekking lovers should not miss Phong Nha and Dalat, each offering unique landscapes and adventures. For a touch of historical magic, Hoi An’s ancient town is a must-see, while Hue’s ancient citadel is a treasure trove for culture and history enthusiasts. And for those who long for sandy shores, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Quy Nhon are ideal beach destinations. In Central Vietnam, every destination promises an unforgettable experience. From ancient cities to stunning coastlines and hidden gems along the way.

When to Go to Central Vietnam

Central Vietnam has two seasons to consider – dry and wet.  

The dry season is from January to August and the weather is very hot and humid. Temperatures are in the mid 30 °C (86°F and above ). There is some occasional rain, as we’ve been caught in the rain during our visit to Danang in May, but it doesn’t last all day.  

The wet, rainy season is from September to November. The rain tends to be heavier and prone to flooding so you may want to avoid these months.

If you’re starting your Vietnam trip from either Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or other areas, the easiest way to get to Danang is to take a domestic flight to Danang International Airport (airport code: DAD). It’s a major international airport in the country. 

The flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Danang takes 1.5 hours one-way, while from Hanoi, it’s 1 hour and 20 minutes. Check out the flight deals on Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, or Bamboo Airways. 

International flights are also available to Danang International Airport. Examples of cities that depart to Danang are:

• Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Click here to see the list of airlines that fly to Danang. 

How to Travel Around Central Vietnam 

Once you arrive in Danang, you can take a taxi or take a Grab car or motorbike to your destination. Grab is a popular ride-hailing app in Southeast Asia and one of the best apps to use when you’re traveling around Vietnam .

If you know how to ride a motorbike, you can also consider renting one for a few days. Remember to wear a helmet and drive slowly. We wouldn’t want you to get pulled over by the police for speeding and then you have to give “coffee money” (also as a bribe) as payment. 

Hiring a private driver is also an option for longer distances. 

Check out our Vietnam transportation guide to learn more tips. 

Central vietnam itinerary – days 1-3: danang.

We’re starting the itinerary in Danang ( Đà Nẵng in Vietnamese) as it’s the fifth-largest city in Vietnam. It’s a popular place to visit as you have access to clean beaches, gorgeous views of the oceans, and conveniently located to other historical sites in the area.

Currently, it’s a picturesque area with architectural influences from Asian and European countries. Plus, this city was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999. 

Since the area is small, we’re spending one full day here. If you want to spend more time in this quaint area, you can consider spending 2-3 days visiting beaches and Cham Islands .

This is the most famous landmark of Hue as it’s a UNESCO recognized area. The Imperial City is a 4-sided walled area that is surrounded by a moat. The citadel area has a Purple Forbidden City that is similar to Beijing’s Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is where the Emperor and his family and colleagues lived and worked.

Outside the Forbidden City, there are plenty of beautiful pagodas, gates, and architecture to admire. Our featured photo is of the Hien Nhon Gate (East gate) that leads to the Imperial City.

3. Visit Khai Dinh Tomb.

Khai Dinh was the 12th emperor and had this place built from 1920 to 1931. He worked closely with the French government so the design of his tomb has Vietnamese and French influences. 

Khai Dinh Tomb is one of the most intriguing places to visit in Hue. The complex has multi-tiers so it requires some stair climbing. 

Tip: You’ll need to climb over 100 stairs to get to the first tier of the complex. If you have knee problems, it’s best to avoid this place as there aren’t any escalators.  

The top tier, also known as the Thien Dinh Palace, has mosaic artwork on the walls made out of ceramic and porcelain. The artwork is bright, colorful, a bit gaudy at times, but captivating to look at. You can also check out the life-size statue of Khai Dinh.

Ly Son Island ( Đảo Lý Sơn ) is one of Vietnam’s hidden gems as it’s not visited by foreign tourists. For now, the island is quiet and has a calm ambiance. The infrastructure is growing to develop tourism in the future.  

This island is known for growing Ly Son garlic which is small, white bulbs that have a mild flavor. Plus, they are grown in volcanic soil. Other fun attractions to do on Ly Son Island is to snorkel, ride a motorbike around the island, and hike Gieng Tien Mountain. 

To get to Ly Son Island from Danang, you’ll need to travel to Quang Ngai’s Sa Ky Port. It’ll take 2.5 hours (160 kilometers / 99 miles) by car or 2 hours by train. Once you arrive at the port, take a speedboat to the island. 

Check out our Ly Son Island guide for more information.  

When visiting Ly Son Island, check out the garlic fields along the road.

2. Quy Nhon  

Want more beach time in addition to what you had in Danang? Head to Quy Nhon ( Quy Nhơn or Qui Nhơn). It’s a low-key city and not as touristy compared to the other cities that you visited earlier in the itinerary. 

There are many beaches to lounge around, historical landmarks such as the Cham Towers, amazing seafood, and other fun activities to spend a few days here. We recommend that you visit Ky Co Beach for clean beaches and snorkeling opportunities. 

Read our things to do in Quy Nhon post for more ideas on what to do here.

To get to Quy Nhon from Danang, it’s recommended to take the bus for 8 hours, train for 6 hours, or to take a domestic flight to Phu Cat Airport (airport code: UIH). Driving would be the fastest way as it’ll take over 4 hours. 

Quy Nhon Beach is a popular beach for tourists and locals to visit.

3. Phong Nha  

Phong Nha is the go-to place for adventure seekers. The main draw is visiting the Phong Nha Ke Be National Park and to see the famous caves and limestone formations , such as Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Cave.

Son Doong Cave is considered the largest cave in the world. The tour to explore this cave is expensive and costs over $3,000 USD per person as only one company is allowed to operate the tour. 

An alternative is to explore Hang En Cave , the third-largest cave in the world. It’s also a memorable hiking trail to experience in Vietnam ! The cost of this trekking tour is more reasonable and starts at $330 per person. We went on this tour and had a fantastic experience.

Check out other caves to explore here .  

Plan to spend a minimum of 2 days on your Phong Nha itinerary going on adventures. You can also spend a day riding a bicycle or a motorbike to explore Bong Lai Valley , a rural place from Phong Nha town.

To get to Phong Nha from Danang, it’s recommended to take a domestic flight to Dong Hoi Airport (airport code: VDH). It’ll take 4 hours since it stops in either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. Or, you can take a train from Dong Hoi City or a sleeper bus that’ll take 5 hours. 

Phong Nha Cave is a fantastic place to visit in Phong Nha.
