Getting around in Vietnam
* Domestic travel: Vietnam has a good scattering of domestic airports to fly between, linking major cities such as Hanoi to smaller beach resorts including Danang. Flying is by far the best way to travel and with more routes and services opening it means that exploration of a number of regions within one visit is now possible. * Cross-border touring: For those wanting to travel from Vietnam across to Laos and Cambodia, frequent daily flights exist from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). As can be seen in a number of our tour itineraries, borders can also be crossed at specific points by road or boat.
