Plan your trip to Vietnam
Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City
The urban and metropolitan Southern capital is relatively young compared to other major Vietnamese cities, but it still has the distinctive Vietnamese touch that all of its major cities do so well.

Day 2: Cu Chi Tunnels
On the second day of Vietnam 14 day itinerary, let’s visit Cu Chi tunnels.

Even though it only takes a short time to traverse the tunnels, Cu Chi has great, rustic food that might coax a traveler to stay.
