The chaotic bustling cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have endless streets to explore with great shopping, restaurants and sights to see. After a few days you might like to escape to one of the beaches or a visit to Halong Bay.

Citizens of most countries do require a visa to enter Vietnam. If you come from a country that does require a visa each family member (including children) will require one. You must make these arrangements before you travel.

It is a bit chaotic on arrival-at least it was for us - we had the visas but had to wait in line. Suddenly the officers went to lunch and left us there saying we needed to wait one hour before they came back! The worst thing was we were meeting my dad and sister and her kids there and they all got through! Anyway, it wasn't the best start to the trip but we still love Vietnam!

The Old Quarter has lots of interesting sights to explore including temples, fruit markets, night markets and local Vietnamese restaurants There are several peaceful parks and lakes to visit when you want to escape the hectic streets for a while with your family too.

There are lots of unique things to do in Hanoi with kids. A visit to the water puppet show is a must do. The kids will also learn a lot from a visit to the Museum of Ethnology where they can explore the houses of various minority tribes and play some local games.
