Vietnam tips/places to see

[AWF94]

Hi gents, Vietnam in June with a couple of the lads. Been to Thailand for past 2 years and fancied something different. Any places to see/things to do in particular?
We like a beer and also like to chill out so any suggestions really would be great!

We're going for just 2 weeks and are going to HCMC, Danang, Hanoi and Ha Long.
TIA

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, will definitely take on board. If anyone has anything more to add I will keep an eye on the thread for future reference!

you pretty much have it covered. Make sure you go on a 2 night ha long bay cruise, they get further out so theres less other boats around. I went with Au Co who were pretty amazing. Booked last minute and negotiated pretty hard.

hoi an is nice, quite mellow, and I quite liked hanoi, theres a little beer street there, but lots of street corners have homebrew stuff on tap for about 20p a half pint which is pretty drinkable.

And what are ya meaning with the 2 day tour? You're suggesting 3 day/2night tour?
