Dom Tulett, a writer for National Geographic, described Vietnam as perfect for families seeking a leisurely trip that immerses them in local culture.

The magazine’s recommended 16-day itinerary begins in Hanoi, where visitors can explore the winding alleys of the Old Quarter on a cyclo tour and enjoy a traditional water puppet show.

Next on the itinerary is a cruise through Ha Long Bay, famed for its luxurious boats and outdoor activities such as cave exploration, snorkeling, and kayaking.

The journey then leads to Hue, the former imperial capital. Known for its rich history and enduring traditions, Hue offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore Vietnam's cultural and historical heritage.

A world of family-friendly adventures

In addition to Vietnam, National Geographic highlighted other family travel experiences worldwide, such as cycling through the villages of Majorca or engaging in a treasure hunt in Egypt.

Vietnam’s inclusion in the list underscores its growing appeal as a family-friendly destination offering diverse activities, breathtaking landscapes, and deep cultural experiences.
