Danish visitors to Vietnam tend to be most content being outdoors doing warm weather activities. With many choosing to travel during July, many visitors from Denmark to Vietnam at this time of year tend to head for Vietnam’s central region, including the stretch of coastline between Da Nang and Nha Trang. These two beach resorts have plenty going for them in themselves, with white sandy beaches, water sports and a number of islands off the coastline just waiting to be explored.

Soaking up some of the history and culture inland from the coast is also popular with Danes. Dalat is a popular spot, located 1,500m above sea level in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Known as the ‘City of Eternal Spring’, it was formerly a French holiday resort and is surrounded by lush pine forests, lakes and waterfalls. The city of Hue near the coast is also a fascinating spot, as the former site of Nguyen Dynasty emperors and a still-standing 19th century citadel.
