The Best Foods to Try as Your Family is Eating Their Way Through Vietnam 

Pho – A Favorite for Families on Vacation in Vietnam

Bò Kho 

Bò Kho is a type of stew. This stew dish is served for both breakfast and lunch. The meat, which is usually beef, is simmered in fish sauce. Water, sugar, carrots, onions, and spices are added. I recommend eating it with a chunk of crusty French bread.  

Cha Giò and Nem Rán 

Cha Giò and Nem Rán is the name of Vietnamese spring rolls. The former name is what they are called in the southern part of the country. The latter is what they are called up north.

These spring rolls are delicious and worth trying during your family vacation in Vietnam! The spring rolls are minced pork and veggies mixed together and wrapped in rice paper. They are then fried until golden and crunchy.  

Your family will love them during your vacation in Vietnam. So much so, that you may need to find a Vietnamese restaurant back home to order them from!

Com Tam  

Com Tam means broken rice. You will find this Vietnamese dish in every food stall around the country. Many of the locals order it for lunch because it is cheap and filling. This dish is prepared by placing meat and greens on top of a plate of rice.  

This is one of the street foods you will find yourselves ordering time and time again during your family vacation in Vietnam.

Bún Bò Hue 

Bún Bò Hue is a meal that is popular in Hue, Vietnam. The locals in this city love their foods spicy and this dish does not disappoint. To prepare this meal, the broth is made from beef bones, fermented fish sauce, and lemongrass. Then noodles, vegetables, herbs, and either beef or pork are added. Before the dish is complete, a little chili is added to give it a little kick.  

Bánh Mì – Even Picky Eaters Love This While on Vacation in Vietnam

Bánh Mì is a flaky loaf of bread. While some people will eat slices of bread plain, others will turn them into delicious sandwiches.  

Bánh Xèo 

Bánh Xèo is a Vietnamese pancake It is made from rice flour and turmeric. This pancake is a must-try during your family vacation in Vietnam. These pancakes are served with beansprouts and greens. This is a well-rounded meal.

Bot Chien 

This Vietnamese food is mainly served for breakfast. However, some people eat it at any time of the day. It is basically cubes of rice flour fried and served with eggs and green onions. Think of yumminess that will melt in your mouth.  

These are the best foods in Vietnam to try as you are eating your way through the country on your family vacation. Your family may be leery of trying these new foods since they are not familiar with them. But I guarantee that once they take their first bite, they will be begging for more.

Check Out These Beautiful Towns in Vietnam 

Da Lat 

Exploring the town of Da Lat is a peaceful experience. The lack of traffic lights will have you wondering how you will head back to the big city when your family vacation is over. Head out of the downtown area to visit Xuan Huong Lake or Dambri Falls.  

Hoi An 

Step back in time while visiting the town of Hoi An. This ancient town is considered one of the World Heritage Sites in Vietnam. The colorful structures and unique architectural features make it the perfect place for family vacation photos.  

Head to one of the museums to learn about the history of the area or rent a bike to cover more territory when exploring. Don’t forget to visit the Japanese Bridge. It is one of the top attractions in Hoi An.  

Searching for a unique way to explore Vietnam? Consider taking a river cruise! 

Sapa 

You will want to plan your family vacation in the town of Sapa carefully. This is one of the only areas in Southeast Asia where it snows. Although, the terraced rice fields do look pretty under the slight cover of snow.  

Head out for an adventure when there is a mist or fog covering this town. It adds a mystical touch that will elevate your experience.  

Ninh Binh 

Ninh Binh is considered an oasis in Vietnam. This quaint town offers lush mountains amongst the magnificent landscape. I recommend starting your family vacation with a paddleboat ride. The boat will take you along the river, as you enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding area.  

Da Nang 

This port town is directly on the East Sea of Vietnam. You can spend your days within the Son Tra Mountains or on the white sandy beach of My Khe. There are also three World Heritage Sites near this town in Vietnam. Those three sites include Hoi An, Imperial City of Hue, and My Son Sanctuary.  

Ha Giang 

Ha Giang can be found near the Lo River. One of the best things to do in this town is riding a motorbike. Hop onto your motorbikes and head out on the journey of a lifetime. You get the best of both worlds in this town. You get the rugged outdoors and the comfort of what you would find in a bigger city.  

Phan Thiet 

One of the best towns for a vacation in Vietnam is Phan Thiet. Co Thach is an excellent beach for searching for shells and relaxing on the sand. This beach can get crowded. Especially during peak times of the year. 

If you want to escape the crowds, head to Cu Lao Cau or Phu Quy Islands. You will need to take a boat to those islands. Totally worth it though to escape the crowds!  

Tuy Hoa 

The sun lights up the streets in Tuy Hoa during the day. However, at night, the streets are awash in the glow of lights from the oil lamps this town is known for. This makes this town in Vietnam the perfect destination for partying all day and long into the night.  

These are some of the beautiful towns in Vietnam you should consider visiting during a future vacation. I can easily add one or two of these towns to your time visiting the larger cities in Vietnam when I personalize your family vacation itinerary.  

So, are you ready for me to create a personalized family vacation for your next family trip?

Unique River Cruise Destinations to Consider for a Family Vacation 

Africa 

The Zambezi flows through numerous African destinations. This is why so many river cruises can be found on this stretch of the river.  

If you have always wanted to see parts of Africa up close, a river cruise is your best option. The wonders of Chobe National Park will no longer be a mystery to your family. Of course, you won’t want to miss out on the sights of Victoria Falls. You will be as close as you can possibly be to the edge of these falls without ever being in danger of going over. The only downside is you won’t see the actual falls from the ship. Only the rushing water leads to those falls.  

A few destinations you may get to experience on an African river cruise include Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.  

Egypt 

A river cruise in Egypt will take you down, or up, the Nile River. I recommend spending a little time in the bustling city of Cairo before boarding the ship and traveling to Aswan. This area is full of wonderful villages, temples, and museums.  

You can choose the excursions that interest your family the most. However, I suggest making sure the Animalia Museum and Sharia-as-Souq are on your list of things to do.  

Cambodia 

Asia is one of the best continents for river cruising. Especially if your family is interested in downtime as well as thrilling adventures. If that is what you are searching for during your next family vacation, let me suggest a river cruise in Cambodia.  

Taking a river cruise along the Mekong is the perfect way to explore Cambodia. Your family can experience the local traditions in Siem Reap. Explore the temples of Angkor. Wander through bustling markets. Visit a floating village on Tonle Sap Lake.  

There is no limit to what you can do each day as you take a river cruise along the shores of Cambodia.  

Vietnam 

You can also sail down the Mekong River to visit different destinations in Vietnam. These river cruises usually begin in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. It is dependent on the direction your family is cruising. During this family adventure, you will find yourself exploring spectacular towns and villages like Tan Chau, Sa Dec, and Cai Be. Visiting sacred sites will be possible in many of these areas.  

While a river cruise in Vietnam is amazing, I prefer to make sure I see parts of Laos and Cambodia at the same time. I mean, if you are over in that part of the world, you might as well see as much as possible!  

China 

Taking a river cruise on the Yangtze River guarantees a stop in the fascinating city of Chongqing. While there are other destinations you will visit on this family-friendly river cruise, this is the city that will really capture your attention.  

Imagine spending time with the Giant Pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Explore the Three Gorges. Hike through the Wulong Karst Geological Park. Indulge in all the culinary delights China has to offer. Including the spicy hot pot. You may even be interested in doing a little shopping at Ciqikou Old Town. It is one of the best places to buy pastries, as well as porcelain pieces.  

South America 

Exploring South America by ship is as easy as sailing along the Amazon River. This majestic waterway begins in Peru and flows all the way to the Atlantic. All around the Amazon River is an area known as The Amazon. It is a massive rainforest filled with animals and plants.  

Time on an Amazon river cruise can be spent in so many ways. Take a tour of Kenko and the Temple of Sacsayhuaman. Be amazed at the top of Machu Picchu. Check out the Nazca Lines. Oh, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for the pink dolphins in the water. Your family will even have a chance to swim with them during your river cruise adventure.  

These are a few unique river cruise destinations you should consider for your next family vacation. Each destination offers fabulous attractions, sights, and activities to keep your family intrigued for hours. Let me help your family make memories by planning a fascinating river cruise to your top destination. I guarantee the result will be a family vacation you never forget!
