Experience Vietnam with just one stop from Prague
Motivation
Hanoi, the ancient capital, still retains much of its French colonial charm amid the hustle and bustle of one of South East Asia’s largest cities.
On the other hand, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in the south is even more frenetic place, where you’ll be assaulted by the sights, smells and sounds of this hectic city of 8 ½ million people.
Here you’ll find some of the most luxurious hotels, fanciest restaurants and tastiest street food in the country.

no longer needed to stop in Yangon before reaching the Vietnamese capital, which now saves up to 2 ½ hours of travel time.
Bucket List
When in Ho Chi Minh City enjoy the French Quarter’s wide-open streets, majestic buildings and high-end hotels, restaurants and shops, or take some time out to visit Hanoi´s Temple of Literature,
a place of study and contemplation dedicated to Confucius, and Hoan Kiem Lake, where just after sunrise you’ll find locals practicing tai chi.
For a more relaxing time, head to northern Vietnam and Halong Bay, a Unesco World Heritage Site whose collection of more than 3,000 limestone karsts jut out of a serene lagoon, interspersed with islands
where you’ll find some of the world’s most unspoilt beaches.
Smart tips

Bucket List
Of course, it’s the beaches and sea that brings most travellers flocking to the Seychelles. There are so many beaches to choose from, but one of the best is Anse Source D’Argent.
Sheltered by a reef, the shallow water here tends to remain rather calm, and is usually ideal for small children to play in. The waters of the Seychelles are renowned for diving,
where you can explore not only the reef or granite walls, but also some of the world’s most famous shipwrecks – thanks to the pirates who have long called the Seychelles home.

Fall in love with the Jewel of the Indian Ocean
Motivation
Colombo, Sri Lanka´s a historic city, is imbued with a mix of architectural styles from the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British.
This city buzzes with life, where tuk-tuks compete with buses blasting Indian pop music, and where a new crop of design hotels, art galleries and chic clothing boutiques is emerging among the street bazaars.
Bucket List
Outside of the city, travellers head to Sri Lanka’s coastline and its beaches, like those of Kalpitiya, Arugam Bay, which is tailor-made for surfers, and Unawatuna, which is touristy but lots of fun.
You can also go whale-watching from nearby Mirissa. To escape the heat, you can head into the hill country, where tea plantations cover rolling hills and beautiful views are everywhere you look.
For foodies, Sri Lanka boasts one of the most varied and interesting cuisines in the world, a heady combination of delicate flavours that range from coconut to curry.
This can be enjoyed in the growing number of top class restaurants, as well as the numerous street stalls and open-air markets. Sri Lanka is also famed for its beautiful, unspoilt beaches,
but there is so much more for travellers to see and do on the ‘Jewel of the Indian Ocean’.
