Product Description

Product Description
The Rough Guide to Vietnam is ideal for people who want to travel independently and discover more about this incredibly diverse country. It includes lively reviews of the best places to eat, from street kitchens to the upmarket restaurants of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, and practical advice on activities, from home-stays in ethnic minority villages to boat trips around Ha Long Bay and visits to its national parks. There are extensive, user-friendly descriptions of Vietnam’s many sights, including Hué’s Imperial city, temples and pagodas and Vietnam’s impressive colonial architecture, as well as its deserted beaches and the waterways of the Mekong Delta.

About the Author
Jan Dodd is an experienced travel writer and is co-author of the award-winning Rough Guide to Japan. In 1989 Mark Lewis spent the year teaching in Singapore, since then he has travelled throughout Southeast Asia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leaves LP standing, 3 Oct 2007
By J. Allen (Saigon, Viet Nam) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Far, far superior to the Lonely Planet guide, which (as usual) seems to have been written sitting in a bar somewhere, relying on second-hand information. The Rough Guide, on the other hand, feels fresh, vibrant and accurate. Far more comprehensive, it explores places slightly off the beaten track, has far better restaurant listings and is much easier to use generally. Lonely Planet is trendy and ubiquitous, but after a back-to-back test, you have to wonder why. The Rough Guide has far more on the history and culture of the country, and is far more readable. One feels it has been written by people of intelligence and culture; the LP, on the other hand, feels as though it has been scribbled by semi-literate back-packers. Perhaps therein lies the great difference, and for me at least, the reason why the Rough Guide is infinitely superior.

5.0 out of 5 stars Regarding All Rough Guides, 13 Jan 2009
By B. Jones (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rough Guides are a must for any traveller and infinitely more useful than Lonely Planet; I have found that when comparing books with fellow travellers the Rough Guides are more updated in terms of roadways, more detailed maps, and the information is accurate and honest. They also throw in useful information and other books as recommended reading before you go. As a well seasoned and experienced traveller of over 35 years, I would always recommend you never leave home with any other travel book.
