" Beyond the capital cities "
Central Vietnam gets overlooked by travelers—Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi tend to draw the most attention—but this region of Vietnam offers a lot (minus skyscrapers). There are many things to do in Central Vietnam that delight the senses: from the vertical coffee farms of the Central Highlands to the historic streets of Hoi An to the palm-lined beaches of Nha Trang. With hundreds of regional dishes, thousands of miles of coastline, and millions of years of history, this is a world that requires time to digest.
