Recently, Booking.com (the world’s largest online booking platform) announced a list of 10 tourist destinations that have been voted the most hospitable cities in Vietnam by tourists around the world.
This list is based on 232 million reviews of real experiences from travelers who have stayed at the above attractions and is not edited in any way.
These destinations are not only rich in nature and culture, but also provide guests with welcoming experiences and unparalleled hospitality, making your trip even more complete.
Hoi An topped the list of most welcoming cities in Vietnam, followed by Phong Nha and Ninh Binh. Hoi An also made it onto the list of the top 10 most welcoming cities in the world in 2022 by the previous online booking platform. Quang Binh in particular has two destinations on this list.
1. Hi An
Quietly located on the banks of the Thu Bon River, the ancient town of Hoi An is characterized in the hearts of tourists by its unique architectural complex of typical yellow brick houses and rich traditional heritage.
The best way to explore this beautiful town is on foot, visitors will find items “suitable” for them in the handicraft shops along the way, be it silk dresses, trousers, clothing, leather goods or souvenirs.
Hoi An has also been included in the list of the 10 most hospitable cities in the world by Booking.com in 2022.
2. Phong Nha
With its amazing natural beauty and friendly locals, Phong Nha fully deserves the title of Vietnam’s second most hospitable city.
The mix of spectacular giant caves, colorful limestone stalactites and dense old-growth forests turns Phong Nha into an ink painting that captivates visitors.
3. Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh became known to international tourists after the majestic landscape was chosen as the backdrop for the Hollywood blockbuster “Kong: Skull Island”.
Not only stopping at the beautiful limestone mountains, verdant rice paddies and many impressive historical sites, Ninh Binh also offers visitors the opportunity to explore rustic country life with the company of friendly locals.
